I have left an office toilet looking like a crime scene a few times because of this.

sheetrock. heavy as frick, messy as frick, pain in the arse to float, breaks easily. How is this the best we can come up with?


I’ve always wondered why not plywood covered with some type of plaster to smooth it off.

Give me that over holding my hand over air for 20 seconds only to have to dry my hands off on my pants anyway.

I owe it all to Mrs. Malone, Central High School English Composition, 1985.

I hope it makes her proud.

You mean like lath and plaster that they’ve been using since the 1700s? Drywall is the cheaper/easier alternative to that.

Those dispensers with the pull down fabric were an absolute petri dish of bacteria. Gross doesn't even begin to cover it.


But they fit right in with the era that gave us the Ford Pinto, electric wood burning kits, and parents that let their kids play around with M-80s on the 4th of July.

I'll nominate those ultra bright headlights that look like the driver has their brights on. I have no idea how those aren't illegal

There is going to be a class action around this. Those things blind the shite out of me every time I'm driving at night. Then you have the jackasses in lifted vehicles who don't adjust their headlights.

What were they even supposed to be for? I’ve never seen one until this thread.

I will take that over one of the new stupid hand soap, water , and dryer combos I saw in the Beau Rivage bathrooms.



Half the time the soap doesn't work and the blower doesn't work either. They are brand new and cost a pretty penny. 15k for a bank of 3 sinks. I guess that is where all the money lost went to.

Speaking of paper bags….paper grocery bags suck. I know they’re better for the earth and all but they’re a PITB to open and give you paper cuts when your hands are dry.


Where are you getting paper bags at? I remember those stopped being common in mid 2000s.
