What if someone wants decaf and you accidentally give them more energy?

I can see how you might have gotten confused, but that's not what eyebrow waxing means at all.

Has most definitely saved me a least an hour in time over my lifetime shopping at Walmart.
My father has done this since the dawn of time, works like a charm. Only once did someone begrudge him for it, resulting in him mumbling under his breath while throwing a pack of batteries in with his stuff to appease the cashier.

Your Walmart is very different from mine.

Sounds good on paper, but really won't work unless you pounce on them while they are still sweaty from the housework (or any other chore.) Try it if you doubt it. But if you don't mind initiating sex with someone who is already sweaty from non-sexual activity,

I always found it more effective to refill the regular pot from the de-caf pot whenever I found the regular pot had not been "re-made." Lazy *******s should get what they deserve! And you can always just add some water to the de-caf pot. Those ****ers will never know the difference.

Leave a little thread on the needle when you're done. If you want new thread, tie it onto the old and use it to pull the new thread through the eye.
Nah, just use a needle threader. There should be one in whatever $1.79 sewing mini-kit is on sale in your local drugstore.

put in the casino as the pick up location, my house as the destination and asked the floor man who was holding the tickets for me to give them to the uber driver (i take care of the floormen quite well so he had no issues whatsoever).

he literally had to walk like 15 feet from casino floor to the door and hand an envelope to the driver.

boom delivered to my house for ~$20.
I had an Uber driver bring me and my friends beer at like 7AM in a night of degeneracy.

No, he had deal with the pizza place, keep in mind this was over 25 years ago when customer service still had meaning, I did tip a little more. Also it wasn't that far.

Tie socks together before washing to avoid one going missing. Not sure how but when I don't do this socks seem to disappear.

If shopping for things that may need to be returned, keep an envelope with the list of items needed and put all receipts in that envelope. I do this at xmas, I used to throw receipts in my purse, glove box, the bags the items were in but keeping them together is much easier.

Yes, I haven't had any issues with them. If concerned about not getting washed completely you can always wash separately and tie them before you dry. They seem to go missing in the dryer more than the washer imo.

There's no way tying and untying socks is more efficient than just dealing with lost socks every now and again or matching them out of the dryer.

I'm confused. How do you think you are losing socks? Are they dematerialising?
OOT Life Tricks Quote

What really happens is socks get parted when you load the washer. Unless you are washing everything at once, you will eventually wash one sock while the other stays in the hamper.

Then when you go to fold, you wonder why you have a solo sock and put it in the drawer by itself. So, your "missing" socks are actually in your drawer somewhere, likely crammed to the back. Most of us just don't want to take the time to hunt them down.

My tip to avoid this is to have a "clean only" laundry basket that you put clothes from the dryer into before folding. Any spare socks you simply leave in the basket until it eventually finds its mate.

Or yeah, just don't worry about it because they're socks and who cares.
