Can we GET any lazier????

[lildreamer316]

It just about killed me with the no-need-for-a-knife-just-pour-it-out-of-the-can frosting that Betty Crocker came out with last year, but now we have PLASTIC LINERS for the slow cooker!!!
What, I don't feel like TURNING ON THE WATER AND RINSING OUT THE POT?
Just add to the huge plastic pile in the dump!! No environmental concerns here!!
WHAT
THE
FUCK?
:rant:

1. You're overlooking that delicious plastic-infused flavour.

[lildreamer316]

4. Yum.

It just drives me batty........:eyes:

2. The one that kills me is the disposable baby washcloths

As if washing dinky baby washcloths was such a inconvenince that one would want to scrub the kid with an overpriced papertowel instead. I don't even want to know what's in the soap on those things.

The crazy thing is people buy 'em. :shrug:

[lildreamer316]

3. Yes..

don't kill me but I sometimes use disposable diapers ( I DO try to get the eco-friendly ones they sell!) But that is as far as I go when it comes to disposable baby stuff. That crap makes no sense to me either.What happened to the old fashioned washcloth? Geez.

5. What got me was the pre-washed/cut lettuce.

[tyedyeto]

6. What? I've been using my crockpot without a liner...

no one told me there were liners for it.

Someone should have let me know about this latest innovation. :mad:

I doubt if I'll ever use them and I use my crockpot at least once a week.

[CanuckAmok]

7. What cracks me up...

people who walk their dogs from the car. Like, you'll see someone in a minivan, with the driver's window down, and the're driving slowly with the dog on a leash beside them.


BTW, I hate crockpots. My mom used to make terrible, awful chicken and/or turkey soup from leftovers in the crockpot when I was a kid (we were poor).

Then one day, she absentmindedly turned on the element on the stove under the crockpot, instead of turning the crockpot on. It melted. It was the happiest day of my life.

8. Walk their dogs from their car?

Are you freaking serious?

9. Saw Clorox wipes in the grocery store the other day

Just looked at their site and saw this bit of anachronistic bullshit.
Homecare Essentials for the Savvy Modern Girl

Um, Clorox, I do clean my house but so does my husband. This is not 1950 and I don't need to be "savvy" to make that happen.

[lildreamer316]

10. Well

I actually use the Scotch-Brite scrubbie wipes; I used to use paper towels to clean up but these do the job alot better and faster and I can use them longer (making them more economical).They work wonders on my laminate kichen floor for small spills and on my baby's feeding tray to sanatize.I try not to over-use though. It evens out for me in the end (don't buy as many kitchen chemicals).

11. What's a 'crock pot'?

:rofl: :rofl:
I used cloth diapers for ALL 3 of my kids.
It stunk, it sucked cleaning them but it WAS cheaper!
But daycare center's now 'REQUIRE" disposable diapers.
Sanitary reasons, don't ya know!

Who the hell trusts pre-shredded and washed lettuce?
Didn't some get re-called recently due to Hep-C contamination?
YUCK!!! :puke:
I'd NEVER buy that! Disgusting!

[lildreamer316]

12. Slow cooker

I dunno why the other name. Southern/regional thing perhaps?
Or was that a joke and I am so blonde I missed it?
Ok, I'm going to get a drink now.

[WCGreen]

13. Crock Pot, slow cooker....

I don't know...

I make stew in it every now and then.....

We use the wipes because we have to get stuff really clean because of my chronic lung stuff....

[Breeze54]

14. 'twas a comical reply.....silly!

lol....go have a drink and then have one for me too!
:9

[lildreamer316]

15. I AM blonde.

and having a bad day. DUH.
*slinking off to get wine bottle*

[Hissyspit]

16. 'crock pot' is more specific; crock means earthenware pot

from Old English, orig. from Greek probably, so therefore not regional term so much as from ancient form of cooking

'slow cooker' is a more general term

[neuvocat]

17. Getting lazier is too much work.

[In_The_Wind]

18. I refuse ...

I will not use a plastic liner to cook in. I do not want plastic vapors cooked into my food.

[miss_kitty]

19. I remember when I got my CD player in 1986 within a week I was

wishing there was a way I could load more than one at a time. I thought that was pretty damn lazy.

20. Buying office supplies the other day

we came across an electric, automatic...label puller. Yes, this little $40 machine will peel your labels off a sheet for you. I guess you could add that to your automatic letter opener and paper folder. Oh, and let's not forget the electric stapler.

21. If you think that's laziness appeased,

you must think I'm the postergirl for laziness. I thought of something a few years ago that would be a big money maker for the beer companies AND Dr Pepper. If they would run an extra set of pipes with beer or Dr Pepper in them to people's houses, they could just charge a monthly per gallon fee for use of the pipes. Basically, in my case, I would turn on the "Dr Pepper Faucet" and pour some Dr Pepper. I'm tired of popping the plastic tops loose from the plastic safety tabs. I'm tired of picking up the bottle and pouring. I want it easier. :evilgrin:
