I once lost a brandnew shiny spotless 2€ coin to a lazy vending machine, they are a trap

Or more importantly: the ratio of volume of actors' speech to car chase scene volume. Every hollywood movie is like this: "mumble mumble pshpsh psh mumble rhubarb mumble. SCREEEEEECH CRASH VRRRRRR VRRRRRR SCREEECH mumble mumble"

This would actually be so smart

Don’t go by the sell by date, go by the smell by date.

And not pockets where you can only rest your fingertips or put a third of your phone but where you can shove in a purse, your keys, your phone and they wont stick out or fall out.

Can't resist: Q: What did the maxi pad say to the fart? A: You are the wind beneath my wings.

It's duckling.

I won't listen to songs that use cell phone sounds or police sirens, for the same reason. I actually pulled over to the side of a highway because a song started playing with sirens in it. smh

And then you go buy more scissors to open the first pack. How did they get the very first scissor pack open?

It's not the name. If the consequences of COVID-19 would be the falling off of male genitalia there wouldn't be a single unvaccinated man no matter what the name of the disease is.

The infamous prairie dress, ideal for humorous photos

Unless apocryphal, it was Henry Ford who invented the weekend, by giving his workers an extra day off. Prior to that it was a 6-dau working week

Buy a packet of bag clips. Seals on packaging use more plastic which is more waste. Bag clips can be used again and again.

Who the hell wants to see the end of "90 Day Fiancée"?

Can we just have one for the trailers?

This really freaked me out the first time I went to the US. Is there a reason for such large gaps?

Yeah same with burgers it’s like “here are four buns to eat your 10 patties with”

I've only seen these sinks in the UK. Does anyone know other countries where this is common?

America has them

they're just too cheap to install a mixer and a new sink that has only one. My flat in Singapore had a similar issue...master bathroom miraculously had both a shower and a bathtub - the tub had one of those super fancy temp selection faucets on it - but they decided hot water in the tub wasn't important even though it was in the sink and shower.

I've never seen a double headed sink in my life.

My mom is British. My brother just replaced her kitchen faucet. I asked him to get a single handle ( I stay over often as she is 84 ) but she wanted the two handles.

Old sinks in Sweden are sometimes like this. The ones in our laundry room, for example. To make it extra fun, the guys who renovated our upstairs bathroom managed to switch the pipes for them, so the hot water is in the cold tap, and the cold water is in the hot tap...

You nailed it !

Common in New Zealand

Fix them? No other country except uk uses them. Seams the uk must be fixed (right now more than ever). Greetings from Germany with medium warm water

My English aunt had her place remodeled in the 1970's and even though she could have had a single faucet, she went for the double ones. What she was used to I guess.

Seems logical - use hot first to kill all the germs, then cold to address the burns on your hands. XD

Barbaric. As are any taps with knobs and not handles/levers.

I know it's supposed to save water (you fill the sink and then wash your hands), but when I was in UK I never bothered, I opened both taps and quickly splashed both streams towards the middle and did my best to wash my hands in the temporary mist of warm water that formed there.

It was common in Portugal too

It's an historical leftover from when the hot and cold water came from different sources. Modern houses have the single tap. Unless it's a design esthetic (and if it is, the designer is weird!) you'll see two taps in really old houses.
