    Yes...

    But in Sweden it is legal to get toxicated by surströmming.

    Mellanöl, surströmming & swedish sausages...

    You'll make millions - in kinky festivals.

    Just right of center.
    Probably more of a Murphy thing, but every single time I stop in front of a grocery shelf to read a couple of labels before deciding what to buy, half the people in the flippin' store suddenly need immediate access to that section.

    Well technically it should...

    ...But dumbasses how think it is better to patch carpet
    that is so far gone that the backing is peeling from the
    carpet, are absolutely inept.
    Like putting a band-aid on bullet wound.
    Seriously you should replace that shit, cause you can't
    seam nothing to it, cause it won't last, and stapling in
    little pieces on frayed edges is more a filler for whatever
    was all torn up.

    If I have to explain what it is to the same person twice,
    over the course of three days, then they ought not be
    doing any heavy thinking. Their wittle bwain would
    probably melt out therw wittle head.

    Couldn't, property management company
    hired me out. But I am getting paid on Monday,
    so it doesn't really matter.

    That's a good business to be in. People will always need carpets and carpet repair. One thing I've learned about business is to specialize in shit people will always need. Now if we could only find a way to sell oxygen....

    Chiming in as a Swede again - no one needs carpets!

    Carpets are one of the single worst thing about moving to the UK. To me they always look dirty and icky and I don't know how to keep them clean.

    Especially disturbing is that carpets are extra popular in countrys where people wear their shoes on inside the house. Like... do people like to live in filth?

    Eh... sorry. Carpets gets me weirdly triggered. I need a shower :blech:

    Speaking as a Brit who lives in Ireland, where it's not very warm, I would gladly have carpet here. Instead I have wooden flooring throughout the flat, with tiles on the bathroom floor, which are bloody freezing as well as dangerous.

    Getting a 17 inch long receipt for a 3 item purchase annoys me.

    I agree. I only keep one carpet willingly, and that goes under my rolling desk chair so I dont destroy the hardwood. It's also small enough that I can haul it out and hose it down and beat the crap out of it every once in a while.

    This is why God invented slippers.

    I've got a cat - vacuum more or less daily.

    We're not having carpet once we can get our own apartment/house/whatever, but we might have to live with it as long as we rent. I'm trying to prepare myself for it since it's most common, but who knows what will be on the market once we move.

    It's the same in L.A.. Just try to get something to eat after a concert in L.A.. I count count the number of available places on one hand, including a Taco Bell and two diners. My standard fare after a show is a short stack and a shared order of bacon for the table.

    My theory is that it's because we're a state that was built on agriculture and movies, both of which require an early start to the day.

    So you can't get a drink in LA after 10pm? That hurts my heart if true.

    Side note: I liked San Francisco but found it to be kind of ghetto. The homeless problem was heartbreakingly out of control. Entire flash mobs shitting, screwing, and smoking crack right in the streets. Cops driving by in complete denial. I'm not a judgmental person, but that would never fly on the East Coast. Seems to me like the city would like to pretend those problems don't exist because, you know, they're so progressive.

    Yeah, some relationships definitely work better without close quarters.
