Yeah! I hate it when it nibbles the corners off my vegemite on toast in the mornings, and it always seems to use up the last sheets on the toilet roll without putting a new one in the holder.

Or when it does replace the roll, it puts it on the _wrong_ way around!

I love **Great Debates.**

It’s **The Pit** I don’t understand.

What’s to understand?

You feel bad or upset about something, you go in there and yell. By and large, there’s no compunction whatsoever to make sense or be rational about it. You get to use as many potty words as you like.

Other people come along and see your potty words, then they add some of their own. Sometimes, these may be directed back AT you. However, since you probably feel better already from having vented first, you can just ignore them and go home happy. Fun!
