The Millennial urge to keep the boxes that our cell phones came in. I was born in '84 and I still have no idea why I do this. But, thanks to the Internet, I know I'm not alone.

This whole post is basically about throwing stuff in the garbage...

An alternative, if you are not using the washing machine every day, is to have bucket of water, with some disinfectant in the water. When you use a cloth drop it into the water. When the bucket is full, or you're doing a load of laundry, add the rags. If you are using a front loading washing machine, put the rags into a laundry bag.

In my country, you can take expired or surplus medication to a pharmacist, and they will safely dispose of it. It's is not a good idea to put it into the bin/trash.

I wear a wallet chain! I never lose my wallet because it's clipped to my pants! Though I do have to remember to switch it to whichever pair of pants/shorts I'm wearing that day from the previous day's pants XD

I cleaned my student tables with donated baby wipes. Same thing. Those wet soapy sponges look like they are cleaning but until you wipe the table after with a baby wipe you have no idea how dirty they still are. Art class. At the end of every class. An article I read of where kids get germs in school prompted this. It was a precovid article.

Thank you! I hate that people still won't carry something to drink with them . Don't leave home without it.

Anyone else think the tree behind her was her hair sticking out? 😂

What did she even inspect it for? Just curious.

how strong was her vacuum?

To be fair, there was a marketing push through the 70s and 80s as to how bad butter was for you and how much healthier it was to use 'plant oil' margarine.

I am an older mother. Always used butter, never margarine.

My mom still espouses her "spreadable margarine". It's always tasted nasty to me. Not sure why. It has a waxy plasticy taste to me and I'd much rather splurge on the butter.

Icydk margarine is one molecule away from being plastic

Unsalted butter at my home. Want something else? Bring it over.

I just use margarine because I'm lactose intolerant

I am on a Cardiac Diet: Even the,n the the Doctor allows a reasonable amount of Real Butter.

When my mom was a kid, they were poor, so they bought bulk amounts of margarine, which was white, and included yellow food coloring you could mix in yourself.

I will not buy margarine. Never!

fr oil based spread, hard pass

that container looks so dirty

I woud be pretty much annoyed if my daughter was so traumatized by me and put it on the internet instead of therapy like most of us do. Just do it your way, that's how adults do, there is no huge rebellion here...

Nice for you, not so nice for the cows and calves. The dairy industry is a cruel one.

WHO SAID IT IS A GENDERED JOB??? Where did this woman come from where changing a f*****g lightbulb is a "gendered job"???

Oh this whole thing must be fake I guess, that's not possible

Just don't start to breasfeed them, change their nappies.... That would be weird.

So if the driver was driving like a f*****t you wouldn't tell them to stop? Okay.

Omg amen!! I feel this one

Maybe try not to use ‘single use items’ if you don’t like landfill.

This ones stupid she's just throwing away perfectly good socks because they don't have a matching one. Just match them up with a similar sock, if they have different coloured soles than it doesn't matter if your wearing enclosed shoes, no one will see them.

What a lovely photo!

Bleach has been proven to only lighten disperse mould spores not kill it, and is horrendous for the environment. Where I live, council cleaners are not allowed to use bleach, even if the customer provides it, for health and safety reasons. If you are worried about mould or germs, double-strength (cleaning) vinegar should be used, according to British scientific studies. Mould specific cleaners can be used if it is an established problem.

One little tear in the rubber and she's throwing it away, does the rest of it not work?

I still like going to the store or the market, because when ordering, it's a gamble, so I like to have the choice of which potato or whatever I take home.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with have emergency food. In fact, it's recommended.

my mom: just change your mindset! it's easy to just be happy!!!

I agree in case the old one is not used or it is not wearable anymore.

Aaah the optimism in this... sure, when someone tells the same story you've heard a few times before, go on and listen it out. And don't interrupt someone who is having a monologue and making wrong assumtions along the way. And when they say they believe their hause is haunted and it should be burned down, believe it and encourage them... Point being: It's a nice concept but not good to use always.(Or maybe she means when people talk about certain subjects?)

I see you don't have kids.

That's nice, but what if you need to make a note when you're upstairs, or in the garage, or on the other side of the house from where your notebook is? XD There's nothing wrong with using random scraps of paper to write down memos and notes, as long as you dispose of them accordingly once you don't need them any more.

I wash and reuse ziplocks, occasionally I need them. Don’t need to hoard but easy to wash and reuse, I don’t use half wrap
