I didn’t catch the giving up booze.
That’s what “dry January” refers to.
They have convinced me to not have a dry January.
I wonder what happened to Amber and her sex toys. She and the Lume girl should team up!
And after my 1,754th viewing of that commercial, I noticed that in the scene where the guys are stretching the mozzarella, the sandwich itself has been cut cleanly in half - but apparently the cheese remains intact. Bugs the hell out of me every time now.
The latest this-is-old-people-stuff from Progressive is total bullshit. You gotta wash your garbage cans, they are daily filled with garbage and get nasty.
Also-- EVERYBODY on my block puts their address on their cans. Those things are hella expensive and tend to get blown up and down the block. Plus our garbage guys are sometimes in a super rush and will casually toss your empty bin the the general direction of your house after they toss the insides in their truck.
I don’t know about that - I don’t generally wash my trash cans but nothing goes into them except bagged trash, so they don’t actually get dirty. And if I do wash them ( because someone dumped a cup/bottle that still contained liquid into one) it would be with a hose, not a spray bottle and a rag.
But I busted out laughing about the address. Yes, most people on my block have their address on the garbage cans. The garbage men aren’t careful and they blow up and down the street. But everyone else takes a marker or a can of spray paint and just writes the address. My husband is the only one who essentially makes stencils out of masking tape before spray painting them but even he doesn’t add our name and phone number.
Like I said earlier:
Have you seen this one yet?
Yes and, really, do you know anybody who acts like that in an elevator, old or not? Progressive needs to stop trying to get rid of Flo (still love her, her co-workers and her family) with other campaigns. Anyone remember the stupid box of insurance?
I have submitted your gripe to the FTC, Ads With Annoying Cheeses Division. Don’t expect an immediate response, as they are backed up with Cheez-It ad complaints.
Acts in exactly that way and says exactly those things ? No. Tries to socialize with strangers in an elevator ? more than one.
Ha! Me and hubby JUST came to this very same conclusion! So many nice, older people who will tell anyone their life’s story if you pay them the slightest bit of attention. But not really spontaneously speaking to people in an elevator for no reason.
I don’t wash my trash bins, but I do pay the kids up the street $10 to wash them out at the beginning of summer.
I don’t socialize with strangers in elevators, but I will say random things to Mrs Magill when people come on our car. Last thing I said was, “… and we still have no idea where all the blood came from.” After twenty years of this, she has learned to just nod and grunt acknowledgement.
Ah, when people get in the elevator with you! I had to read that several times before it clicked.
And it was only after reading this that I realized he didn’t mean his automobile!
It’s a very pretty automobile.
For laughs, stand in a corner of an elevator car, facing the corner. When people get in on another floor, it makes them uncomfortable. (No need to mumble or anything.)
“Hit the floor, lady!”:
Where I work, we had signs in the elevator lobby on every floor in 2020 and 2021 suggesting a four-person limit with the passengers in the four corners as a social-distancing measure. Not strange by itself. But if you looked at the accompanying diagram, the feet were pointed into the four corners; they were suggesting we each face the corner like naughty schoolchildren!
I dunno about wash, but rinse them out with a hose once in a a while is a Good Thing.
Yeah, with high winds our bins will go walkies. Now, we don’t have to pay for them, but which bin is mine?
Yep, that isn’t being old, it is being a jerk. Well, Okay, holding the door open is a thing I do.
We got Waste Management out here. They put the address on their cans.
