Dust. It coats every fucking thing in existence and makes it dirty every fucking day. I hate dust. I actually avoid buying shit because I think “well that would look nice in my place, but then I’d have to dust it all the fucking time”, and I don’t buy it.
Sorry for the lack of brilliant witty diatribe: I know how much you all love that. But I just had to get this out.
Not a lame pitting at all. Fuck dust and the biggest contributor to dust dispersing: forced air heating and cooling. Bring back radiant heating and we could all do one tenth of the dust removal.
I’ve had forced air, radiators and now copper tubing running warm water through the walls and floor (don’t know what that’s called). I’ve had the same amount of dust with all of them. Much more dust in the city than in the 'burbs, though.
Maybe you need to get your home’s ventilation system cleaned out? My mother was always complaining about dust until doing that and now says the rate of dust accumulation has gone down dramatically.
That’s a good attitude, tho. I wish more people thought this far ahead before cramming their houses with tchotchkes. My SIL has a maid come in every other week and I always think she could save that $150/month if she just has less shit to dust.
I’ve always thought this would be a better world if dead skin just turned into oxygen or something when it lost contact with the body. Less dust, less dandruff… The fact that this doesn’t happen is proof there is no world-building God.
Oh…dead skin…I have a waterbed. I change my sheets a couple of times a week and wash the rest of the bedding on the first weekend of the month. I also wash my mattress, its always covered with skin dust and the dust falls into the frame, so I have to wrastle the mattress to clean the dust.
Now I’m sleeping on a fabric bed, I don’t even want to imagine what is in the mattress.
