Be easy on Lucas. Afterall, they invented self dimming headlights and intermittent wipers.

Too many holes, customer got all huffy when I grabbed the roll of duct tape for some reason.

Side note: I seriously want that jar. I can print the label, but still trying to figure out the concoction inside.

Something I learned in China was not to bother holding a door open for anyone who happens to be approaching the door that you've just opened!!

Dude, there are 40+ year old people who need to be taught this.

My downstairs neighbors constantly pull the door closed because they lock the bottom lock first, and they aren't gentle/smooth, so they end up slamming it, which rattles my windows and everything.

Today I learned I'm losing patience with conspiracy theorists. I used to enjoy the "abundance of difference". Now I'm just annoyed.

Why is that? Is it a cultural thing?

Now that it has been brought up, Watch what happens when a man has opened a door, he will usually look behind him to see if someone else is coming. When a woman has opened a door she will usually let it close behind her no matter who is approaching. This is a cultural teaching as the woman might feel she has given the wrong signal to the person behind them. My wife said no not true, but after paying attention she agreed.
This might not apply to a younger group, but here in Fl for sure.

Don't think so.. Its something deeper.. never got to the bottom of it.. but it's very common habit.

I have noted something similar with female drivers, they tend to be less reluctant to stop or give way, let a driver out. Male drivers are more giving.. when I ask my wife why this happens, she puts it down to women being less confident and not wanting to stop..
