Underwear with a skirt? You're not doing it right.

Who knew?  They should come with instructions.

I have a favorite sports gel/drink/recovery drink brand that is not sold in the US, I have to have my buddy bring in supplies every time he comes over from the UK to visit (~ 4 times a year).  He also pays for it and never asks for money! BUT on occasion I've run short and had to use one of the brands available here :-(

We have three separate AC systems in the house and balancing them to make the house "just right" can be tricky!

When I fly to Asia/Malaysia for business I don't always get my preferred airline so the mileage doesn't accrue as quickly as it could.

We're almost out of bottled water in my office and we're not scheduled for a delivery until next Wednesday. I might have to drink tap water until then.

Receiving an e-mail that does not apply to me because the sender is too lazy to narrow down the send list. Instead the sender states, at the END of the e-mail, Group 2 this does not apply to you.

I have a good one, not my own, but my wife's.  She works for a Korean company that recently installed these washing toilet seats in all the stalls.  When she sat down to go pee, she immediately started receiving the deluxe undercarriage wash and wax special.  She says she leapt straight up in the air when it happened.

When I was first in Japan, I went to visit a Japanese family for dinner. They had one of those types of toilet. When I got up to flush. I accidentally hit the wrong button (there were so many) and the bidet function was activated.. Water went gushing into the air fountain style.

I was screaming and laughing and mortified all at the same time.

My third/first world problem is entering crisis level. Mounting city-wide search for kitty litter today. (Can I log that?) It's good they don't have house inspections in the third world, or this one would probably be condemned.

My cat's food is $53 for 8 pounds. Per pound it would be cheaper to feed them grilled salmon

Termite grubs? Survivorman seems to like them and I think they're popular in one of our neighboring countries. I could check the mound that's probably behind the bedroom wardrobe if I could move it without six Vietnamese men and a forklift. Kitty's NOT an outdoor cat for precisely the reason mentioned. Tet or not, he'd probably go into a migrant workers' stew pot--has happened to dogs I know.

Not what I was thinking, but I'll try anything once. How do you prepare the grubs?

I feel your pain, bro.  Must. Resist. Comment.

However, my current first world problem is apparently that I don't know how to use my phone to post to the interwebs, and I not only DPed, I TPed.  Furthermore, my current favorite forum does not allow edits after 30 minutes. Woe is me.

I was thinking of this thread and got a bit of a chuckle at my wife yesterday.  The next door neighbor's yardcare service blew leaves into the road instead of picking them up and they were starting to find their way into our yard.  My wife went nuts.  She went right over and got the number for the business and demanded they come over immediately and clean it up.  It was funny how worked up she was over this horrendous problem.Smile

I'm still furious that TWC is giving you Universal and not me. Just to make myself miserable, I saw part of the lineup today was Vuelta, ITU race, Alberta. Just great.

I have never understood the leaf blowers. It just moves the problem to another area.
