re: You're using too much...

Better to blast a filthy arse than wipe and wipe 'til cheeks are ripe.

Are you certain you aren't the female?

Apparently most of us use way too much laundry detergent.

I couldn't care less if my wife used gallons of Tide, but years ago she discovered The Landress and Thomas Blonde. Those make Tide look damn near free.

While I can't speak to their cleaning power (I wash my really dirty clothes with Shout and Tide), my clothes, that she washes, can be put up at the end of the season, and 9 months later they smell like they just came out of the dryer, all without ever being overpowering. I secretly appreciate the quality but still give plenty of good-natured ribbing. I also appreciate she has found scents for my clothes that smell "manly" and she takes the trouble to split the laundry.

I have one I bet several can identify with.

People often use too damn much Loctite, even worse when they use red or green when blue or even purple would be plenty. They lock some random fastener down like it is the only thing holding a helicopter rotor on. Same goes for the yahoos that use every ugga-dugga in the shop to torque down lug nuts on cars.
