Confessional Friday:

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been many years since my last confession.

I almost always answer the phone on the toilet.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 32 minutes ago (2 children)

hope you know if I sit down in a stall next to you I'm not putting down the firemans blanket and doing my absolute best to make sure your conversation partner hears the "kasploosh" sound.

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 points 18 minutes ago

I was unaware of the fireman blanket technique.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 31 minutes ago

FIREMANS BLANKET

😂😂😂😂😂

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 44 minutes ago (2 children)

As in if it rings while you are on the toilet you will answer, or when it rings you usually head to the toilet to answer it there?

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 points 42 minutes ago

Haha nice.😂

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 4 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 35 minutes ago)

Well I mean it's right there so you may as well answer it if it rings.

convenient

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have never ever in my life stepped foot in a church, let alone confess.

I confess that I make fun of my cat for having an empty nut sack.

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 points 20 minutes ago (2 children)

I shall say a prayer for you and your feline. Seriously though, some churches are absolutely gorgeous inside. Check it out sometime.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 16 minutes ago

Ya seriously. So much money and time and artistry went into some of those things, they can be absolutely incredible

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 points 20 minutes ago

Belief is not a requirement for aesthetic appreciation. And thank fuck it's not

Unreasonably annoyed at an old boss who went out of her way to criticise me for ordering Who Gives A Crap toilet paper for the office because I "didn't understand how women's bodies work" and that "women need soft TP". Mind you this was when WGAC was brand new and before the order had even arrived, and we were a fellow Melbourne startup so I thought pretty good karma at least to support their brand.

Caught her several years later on social media saying how she has always loved WGAC. No babes. You have not.

Anyway, I think of this anecdote whenever I refill my toilet roll. Haha.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 2 points 31 minutes ago

stir the pot. Call her out! "Oh really? Guess you dont remember the time you went off on my cause you claimed it wasnt soft?"

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago

It's true women do love a soft tp but anything is better than nothing so fuck her.

5/10. This is the quiz I don't care about - pop culture. Sundays quiz is where it's at

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

8/10 today.

Might be my best ever.

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

5/10. Is that technically a pass mark?

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

8/10 not great not terrible haha

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

3/10

I have brought dishonour to my bloodline.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

my best yet, 2/10

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

2/10, a dismal result even for me.

I think I'm going to ignore this and celebrate my 93% final grade on my last subject instead.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

9/10. I don't know who Jeremy Strong is 🤷‍♀️

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 58 minutes ago (1 children)

I stuffed that one up as well.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

I don't think there is any shame in not getting that one. However not getting the name of the cyclone you've been watching news stories about all morning, I have absolutely no excuse for that one. My brain just does not work right when trivia or names are involved, putting them both together obviously short circuited something.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 44 minutes ago

I've been keeping up with things recently so that helps and I'm aldo exposed to sporting news more than average so that always helps!

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Good actor. One of the main characters in Succession and plays a decent villain in The Gentlemen

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh right. I haven't seen either of those shows.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 52 minutes ago

The Gentlemen show is okay, he was in the movie which was the great. Watch it.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pissed and grumpy now, they used the space and didn't clean anything up so I've just spent the last 10-15 mins resetting the space.

I really should have bought a bottle of wine yesterday while I was at Aldi, could have used it to unwind tonight.

Well at least I have snakes and chippies.

Rawr!!

[–] mysticgreg@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Pour the snakes into the chips and enjoy a nice bag of chakes.

Don't do this with real snakes of course. Unless you're into that kind of thing I guess.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 57 minutes ago

Interesting combination. I'll look into it but no promises.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

tinyest now knows "Mine". You'd be surprised by the amount of things that are now suddenly his.

The kid had a sample of what gastro is like last night. Yep both ends, simultaneously. Gave her a little shock it did.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

She'll learn to love hydralyte over the next few days. All the best to her. It's not fun.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

She's a little weak but otherwise ok.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Bucket by the toilet when gastro comes knocking. Better to be safe than sorry. And I'd rather clean vomit out of a bucket than the other stuff outta pants or off the floor.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Apparently what happened was she lent over to turn the taps on the bath and up it rose and out so she squatted down and it came out the other end.

I heard a weak "mummy". I go in, see what's happening, hold her hair back. She says "do you think it was the pasta I had at school? And I've shat on your mat". I reply "yes and dear god".

The child then had a shower with undies on and one soiled bath mat.

I explained what to do next time. Run to the toilet with the bucket.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That's quite a complex problem, I don't think I could accomplish getting to the toilet in that state, my sympathy for your daughter, hope the rest of your family and yourself will be ok.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Thanks. I've disinfected all surfaces. Nothing's gonna stop my Friday night drinks.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well unless all your drinks come back up again.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

I hope not.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

poor thing

hope she gets better soon
