I’m okay with those, because I do have needs for one here and one there, and those caches make first steps for those repairs. Also, because I might look at those issues at of times, like late at night or when I don’t feel like going out.
It’s hard when you have to buy 10 to get the 2 you need, to then go buy 10 more later when you have a similar need. But those items are small and don’t take much space. A growing pile of used butter tubs and dwindling supply of working lids is different.
Nobody needs tissue box covers. They come in at least 2 sizes and decorative boxes nowadays. Just pick a box that matches.
Plus, it’s a tissue box. So what if it doesn’t exactly match the pattern on your sofa set?
But then I’m a functionalist - I want a tissue box that is visible so I can find it when it’s needed.
As for me, I want my tissue boxes to be obvious, so a tiger or an assassin can’t hide in one.
The Orbit gum dancing business man coming out of the elevator to that “Call me maybe” song.
Just irritates the heck outta me.
And,
4 Imprint printing service, skydiver asking weirdo guy was her chute packed 4 Imprint certain. And he crosses his fingers. Ugh.
My county has a Multi-Material Recycling Facility… You drive in, and the first area you encounter is a massive, covered sorting area. Then you drive around to the hazardous materials area, then you finally get to a categorized dump (construction debris, household trash, cooking oils, etc). I’ve never seen anything like it.
These commercials puzzle me… Are people really that enthusiastic about receiving stuff bearing their employer’s logo?
I think the 4 Imprint is for all that mega ton of freebies that places give out at every event you ever went to.
I have a pen right now that I accidentally stole at the dentist office. It’s junk. But it has their logo and number on it.
I imagine that’s a big business.
Well, three jars aint that much.
I love cigar boxes. I spent a few days of my life collecting from cigarette stores and looking for old ones at flea markets. I ain’t talking no fancy wooden ones. Just simple cardboard ones.
I moved them out to a shed when someone asked me who smoked cigars in the house.
The latest GEICO Caveman Ad. They actually made a 2 minute version of it, even worse than the 30 second spot.
Yeah, the new caveman pieces are not hitting with me. Dramatic and not-funny caveman? I am not quite sure what they’re thinking here, but I could be missing something?
I hate every goddam sports betting ad, whether they are actual commercials or read by the game announcers. Or if the game announcers “just mention” how much fun on-line sports betting is, and you should do a parlay, I just did. And here are some good parlays, recommended b y our bext betting analysts.
I think if I were a sports announcer I’d retire before I read one of them.
I hate all commercials for home selling services. BUT, I do like saying “faux ficus”. 
I’ve liked a lot of Geico commercials. The clog dancers. The ant (aunt) invasion. Even the lizard on occasion.
If I have to look at that hideous caveman all sweaty and having an existential crisis, I may 
and make a stern note to self, ‘do not buy or recommend buying Geico ever’. I guess they have completely run out of ideas and have rummaged around in the past, desperate.
The woodchucks. That one never fails to crack me up. “Hey, you dang woodchucks! Quit chucking my wood!” And the way they laugh. It hasn’t aired in years, but even now I’ll look it up on YouTube every so often.
But damn, that horrible “combination football game and grocery store” atrocity makes me wish I could determine what kind of day the people who came up with it are going to have tomorrow.
Just FYI- Geico customer service is horrible.
Resting. Binge. Face. 
Anything that distorts a human face creeps me the heck out, but this just goes on waaaaay too long.
Had a kid rear-end my vehicle at a stop sign years ago; he was with Geico, and they called me at least half a dozen times to find out what, exactly, I was doing at that intersection before the wreck. 
I also gathered that my insurance company had a hell of a time settling with them, but that may be typical for insurance industry stuff.
Guess what? I just saw a brand-new Jardiance commercial, with a different female lead singer. This commercial is set in an office, and the singer is a zaftig redhead.
No, it is not. A rear end? They pay up.
I saw that, too, and I was a bit surprised. I was at Universal Studios in Orlando when the original commercial was being filmed. There was a rather rare and unusual car parked near the shooting location; I assumed it was there to be used as a prop. It wasn’t in either of the first two ads, though.
So many thoughts… I’m at that age of “Trying Hard Not To Become My Parents”, so I see myself in those ads.
And sewing rooms. And workbenches. Can’t even see the top of mine right now.
Damn, that’s a brilliant way of handling that!

The higher-ups at a company THINK their employees will love that stuff. I left a company after seven years of hard work (60 hrs/wk on salary, so all unpaid time-and-a-half)… and the bosses gave me a company mug.
But it was full of leftover Halloween candy, so there’s that…
About once a quarter, they’ll send me a cheap-ass travel mug. This past summer, they sent me an actual nice soft side cooler. That one didn’t immediately go in the trash.
