    I think I crave it mostly because I can't have it. Which is a recurring theme in my life.

    Mate of mine I haven't seen for a while is back in town for the night & has invited me down to his sisters birthday. Is it socially acceptable to turn up without a card or gift for the person who is having the birthday?

    I kind of regret saying that I'll go as I know enough members of his family/friends that I'll have to be somewhat social & I don't really feel like drinking (separate issues) + I don't really know his sister + I imagine the majority of people there will be 30ish :/

    I also agreed to go to some social event with the people that I used to work with as the woman who is hosting makes the effort to keep in touch and I felt a bit shit constantly making excuses as to why I can't go.

    It's fine to not bring a card. Alternatively, you could bring a card and have it say happy birthday [friend's] sister, signed, guy who doesn't know you but showed up anyway but make sure you put the smiley face. Bitches love smiley faces.

    I hear you. A lot of me figuring things out as I got into my 30s was figuring out what actually made me happy vs. what I thought would make me happy. With that having been said, having time to unplug for a while is nice too.

    I was thinking of doing something like that which can only mean you're being sarcastic and I shouldn't do that.

    Is it not you just want a break from the day to day shit that you have to deal with, like a lot of people do. Spending that time playing video games and what not just sounds boring. Go do something you want to do, but don't do that on fathers day. Fathers day go do something with your family. But think of something you want to do, whether it's on your own or with friends whatever and go do it. It's not like if you say to your gf on this weekend I'm going out and doing something she's going to not be ok with that.

    Of those things you could go and do make it a somewhat chilled out, unplugged kind of deal.

    If you do it, then you have to make sure that it's 100 percent clear that it's in good fun and that you're not being a dick.

    Ended up not even going, went out with a pal of mine had a fair few drinks. Ended up meeting them at the after party, just got home now. All got a little messy. May walk round and drop the card off tomorrow, probably won't.

    I am a serial pick-it-up, put-it-down player. I don't do 8 hr gaming sessions. I'd rather play for a few minutes and quit, then maybe play for a few minutes more.

    There are the Telltale games which are movies/books with player interaction. I've played 3 different series now and each one has been very enjoyable. You pretty much start playing, can quit at any time, and when you're not playing, they linger with you.

    Outside of that, if you can invest yourself in any populated fps, those tend to be an easy 10 minutes of fun before you quit. I'm into tf2 still, but I think it's being abandoned for that new game from blizzard.

    Happy mother-fuckers day.

    I found out that if you take 2 steel balls and bang them together with a piece of paper in between, it burns a hole in the paper faster than you can blink. No fire, barely a singed edge, just an oddly shaped hole in the paper and the smell of smoke. Works on multiple sheets.

    I didn't try it with anything smaller than 1" bearing balls, so give it a whirl. It's pretty fun.

    Of course, I have access to 3" bearing balls in my office.

    Turns out the bigger balls are more fun.

    Who knew?

    That's the way it's probably going to be, unless you start your own business. I'm guessing this client dedicates their life to their work too?

    It's going to cost me £13.50 per hour to source a cleaner for my house. This seems a bit too expensive.

    Well, you do have to pay them for on-site labor and you're effectively renting any appliances they may use during that time.

    IDK the exchange rate, but $13.50 doesn't sound too bad. I'd certainly do any tidying up first and just have them come in for the deep cleaning tasks which I eternally procrastinate... like cleaning air vents and ceiling fans, mopping, dusting the base boards and door frames, deep cleaning kitchen appliances.

    After the last time I did a deep cleaning on a stove / exhaust hood, I vowed to never do it again. I'll pay whatever it takes to have someone else do that job.

    £13.50 ph is about double the UK minimum wage, which seems high. I think cleaners are paid a little bit more than minimum wage though to reflect the travel time/costs they incur for only working 2-3 hour shifts.

    I definitely want them to do everything apart from tidying up. I just think life is too short to spend it doing chores if you can help it, but £13.50 is about that point where I think I should do it myself. It also feels a bit dirty to pay somebody to do something you're perfectly capable of doing yourself too, but I'm sure I'd get over that soon enough!

    I hear you.

    The housekeeping staff in my building are really friendly people. The woman who does my office is super fun to talk to. It helped me get over the fact that I go to ask her to sweep my office or take out my trash, when I can absolutely do these things myself and she's noticeably older than I am. I got hung up on the whole, "strong," "young" white man asking an older black woman to do simple chores for me. I was comfortable enough talking to her to hash it out. I told her that I didn't know how to not feel like a schmuck when I asked her to do these things and she laughed at me. She said most people get all high-and-mighty about having position over her, and she got used to that decades ago. She assured me that we have different jobs and we're paid to do different things; she's paid to sweep and take out trash and I'm not.

    'Nuff said.

    Besides, if you can't pay people to do things you don't want to do, then what's the point of employment in the first place?
    If you can't use your money to avoid unpleasant things and spend more time doing pleasant things, then what's the point of earning money?


    EDIT: IDK if it's true, but I'd be more paranoid of getting my stuff stolen if the person coming into my home was only earning minimum wage.

    That feels more to me like some fucked up view of power, as if you think you're better than the people cleaning but not comfortable with that. If you want someone to clean your house & are paying them to do so & they're ok with the job then there is no problem, especially if you're not a dick (which I can't see you being).

    If your time is more valuable than the cost of paying a cleaner then it makes perfect sense and the cleaner benefits as a result.

    AFAIK cleaners at schools/offices etc get paid between £7-8 an hour, I'd imagine people going into peoples homes get paid ever so slightly more. This is Manchester prices, dunno how it differs across the country.

    You make sure you don't leave valuable shit lying around. If you make it easy for people it's going to happen, it's human nature.

    Cheap cameras fix this. There's an interesting bit about this in the book Nickel and Dimed where this female journalist goes into a number of low-paying jobs for the story. One of them was a cleaning business like this, and they were instructed to not even cuss aloud when they were in the homes, even if no one was home, because of hidden microphones and cameras being so common. Pretty interesting stuff.

    Yeah, I've always notionally valued my time at ten quid per hour but think that's creeping up a bit now I have less time (London rat race). So I've always been good with Albanians cleaning my car for a tenner, as it takes me at least an hour, but that's why I'm stuck on the cleaner thing at current quoted prices.

    The power thing is kind of the reverse. I'd be much more comfortable with it if I thought I was better than them, plus I've done cleaning jobs myself and know how shitty they can be. You're right though, if they're happy with the terms on offer then I should just get on with it. I'll rarely be in the house when they're there anyway.

    It's a French word with an accent aigu. Not that I care, but if you're going to correct someone else's language, you kind of have to get it right yourself, which of course is why I googled the correct term for the accent, instead of calling it a stupid French language symbol.

    Good to know Americans bastardise French as well as English.

    We English have little respect for gender in language. Ok in this case it's quite clear that male and female are helpful, but usually it's a ridiculous concept to think that common objects have gender. The chair. Le chaise? Or La chaise? Fuck off with your le la nonsense.

    As such, it's entirely understandable that an Englishman doesn't know which is which out of fiance and fiancee. And sure both are acceptable in bastardised American English, and indeed English English. But as far as we're concerned, both are acceptable in all contexts because fuck France and their stupid language.

    Furthermore, Europe thinks we're weird because we drink tea with milk in it. They don't. But might I remind Europe who the nation is that is famous for tea? Yeah, us, which means we're right and they're wrong.

    Only a tiny bit of milk though, just enough to take the bitterness away. Too much milk is criminal.

    Coffee is rancid, and that's coming from a guy that will eat or drink anything if it's offered (other than the stuff I'm allergic to).

    Tea is awesome. Small amount of milk, no sugar, leave it to cool for about 5 mins and you're set.

    Coffee is really popular in the UK, but it's generally only bell ends that buy it from a coffee shop. Anybody seen walking around with a cardboard coffee cup in the UK can generally be assumed to be a pretentious idiot.

    This is true world-wide. At least, Americans who spend $5+ on a single cup of coffee - then effectively keep paying by strolling around giving the company free advertising by showing off the branded logo on the cardboard cup - are also pretentious idiots.

    ***
    If tea didn't put my stomach in knots, then maybe I'd like it. I can't even have iced tea. Soda has absurd amounts of sugar in it. My only real option for caffeine is coffee.

    BTW, if you only know coffee as a bitter drink, then you definitely haven't had good coffee. Good coffee is creamy and sweet all on its own w/o any extra milk or sugar. Not saying you'll like it, but if the coffee is bitter, then it's either bad coffee or prepared poorly.


    Maybe the Brits just do coffee poorly. Have you ever tried [country name] coffee?
    Arabian coffee has a load of Cardamom in with the grounds, which adds an herbal tea flavor to the coffee which is exotic and full-bodied.
    Turkish coffee is very strong with a sludge of powdered coffee at the bottom which you don't drink.
    Greek coffee is similar to Turkish.
    Thai coffee is chilled on ice and served with sweetened condensed milk instead of cream and sugar.

    I'm not trying to talk you into doing something you don't want to do, am I?

    Looked up "bellend." Good stuff.

    I'll be honest, if I ever visit the UK, I'll make it a point to walk around with a cardboard coffee cup.

    Somebody lives in Missouri, for sure. Up here in Washington, if you're not walking around with a branded reusable cup you're the weirdo.

    Just because they've turned being a pretentious idiot into the norm doesn't make them any less pretentious or any less idiotic.

    You're forgetting that I've lived in Seattle. I know the scene.

    What's worse than pretentiousness? Passive-aggressive pretentiousness! Thank you, Seattle!

    This road is only ten miles or so away too... didn't even know about this one until I tried to find an image of the village town sign.

    Then you my friend will never have the pleasurable experience of either being employed by me, or shagged by me.

    I genuinely wouldn't consider a woman I see carrying a coffee down the road. It's one of those trivial things that you can add to my list of things that rule people out, like tattoos, being privately educated up to the age of 18, anybody that uses "LOL" and anybody that describes themselves as bubbly and spontaneous.

    Tattoos? Man, you're missing out.

    My best friend is a smoking hot woman covered in tattoos. I'd love to nail her if she weren't my best friend. I've seen her in her undies and man, the tattoos are most certainly not a turn off.

    As for women who walk with branded coffee, well I could forgive her if she's an attractive Asian, especially Japanese.

    Oh, my friend was also privately educated. At a Catholic school for girls, no less.

    When people first started saying "lol" on the internet, it took me longer than it should have to realise it wasn't a dude with his arms in the air.

    Second the distaste for ink.

    I do like many piercings tho. But with ink, it's like skin, skin, skin, skin, dragon!, skin, skin, skin. C'mon.

    I just can't get on with tats. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for a short-term thing, but I wouldn't introduce anybody with tats to my parents. I realise this makes me sound narrow minded and bigoted, but ultimately everybody is just looking for a nice looking girl to introduce to their parents right?

    I'd make an exception for this.

    Anybody else got grey hair that's on the brink of taking over? I'm thinking of Just For Men-ing it, but maybe that would be tragic and that first day people noticed would be brutal piss-taking. Plus it's more stuff to do.

    Also, what do we think of a 34yo man collecting stickers?

    Depends on the tattoo I think. Zero tolerance for head and hand tats though.

    When I allow a beard to take hold, it has grey patches, but otherwise I'm as brown as I ever was. My brother went grey young though, so I expect it to happen. I'll just dreadlock it, grey dreads look awesome. If my hair starts falling out, I guess I'll shave it off. Just for Men is for faggots.

    Collecting stickers at your age is sad, have a word with yourself.

    Small face tat and lots on the hand. The face will probably get covered when her parents are no longer around to stop her!

    Honestly, I'd have agreed with you before my friend went wild with the tats, now I realise it depends entirely on the person. Her legs look amazing.

    She's a talented tattooist herself, fwiw. I guess that makes a difference. It's not like she's made herself unemployable.

    Go natural. I mean... if you're going to dye your hair, do it punk red or blue or something. Don't do it to pretend that you're somehow just as 'tarded as you were 10 years ago. You're a bit less 'tarded now.

    Caviat: if being an icon of youthful business helps you make more monies and the 'tard-monkeys whom it impresses give you more monies for doing it, then dye away.

    ***
    Stickers? What kind of stickers?

    How many stickers are we talking?
    'Cause if they, like, fit on one shelf, and they're cartoony kids stickers, then it's pretty sad, if not disturbing, prima facie.

    However, have you had to devote architectural space and environmental controls to maintain them?
    Are they presented in an unexpected, and interesting way?
    At some scale, I don't care about the stickers, I'm impressed by that kind of time and effort to any craft.

    The caveat is always true though. People with all their hair, with no grey get treated better on average. It seems silly not to. That being said just make sure you do a decent job of it, doing a terrible job is probably worse than just leaving it to go grey.

    Just do it. There's an athletic guy I know, when I met his brother, I thought the guy was his father and the only difference was the full head of grey hair. I later found out the "younger" brother dyes his hair. Cheat.

    Hey Spoon. Hey cuntface. I see you haven't commented in a fortnight. Maybe a new tactic is in order. The Commune demands its 13 Colonies perspective.
