Where are you supposed to put your bag? What do you really think is on the floor? Do you know of anyone who has ever become ill from the bottom of their purse? I truly don't know how some people get through the day--life must be a series of terrifying obstacles for you.


I can multitask! I can cry while holding my purse.

I love morning sex. You just don’t do it facing each other.


Gay male couples have a lot of perks


Uh, you do know that straight couples can do it from behind, and that gay male couple can do it face to face, right?


You can but I would guess it isn't pleasant for most women. I hate it with a passion


I’m guessing you’re not a fan of sex generally…

Along the same vein, when somebody runs to the bathroom to vomit they kneel down on the floor and get really, really close to the toilet and it looks like they're practically drinking out of it. Gross! Nobody would ever do that.

On New Girl when CeCe is sick from too much booze, she is literally hugging a bar toilet. Admittedly I haven’t ever been in a lot of bars but I wouldn’t hug my own home toilet.


Then you need to clean your toilet better.

You know I'm still talking about PIV, right? You can do that from behind, not just butt stuff.

This always bothers me, too! Also when someone sits down on a public toilet with their clothes on because they need to think - it is so gross and I really hope no one is actually doing that.

I guess the thing about hugging the toilet when you're puking is that you're so wasted, by the time you're doing that, that judgment and hygiene might not be top of mind.

-this is a peeve of mine because I work with neonates, but the vital signs on the monitor not matching the age of the patient. A heart rate of 55 is totally normal for a person my age, but very alarming for a newborn.




What drives me crazy is the dark, moody lighting in a hospital room, or police interrogation room, or wherever. These places are *flooded* with fluorescent light in real life.

I kneel in front of the toilet and rest my forearms on the toilet. But that’s only at home. If I’m puking in public toilets I put a seat cover or at least toilet paper both on the floor for my knees and on the toilet seat. (This doesn’t happen a lot - I just get migraines sometimes and they involve puking.)
