Venting.

Damn, I feel dumb now...I had no idea there wasn't a difference in the ergonomics of the product or anything.

You bought one that can double as Qui-gon's com link?

You wouldn't be the first woman to use man's razor. I know several that love their Mach 3s as much as I do. And who cares if it's not pink. It's a grooming appliance, not a damn fashion statement.

I buy men's razors because not only do they shave WAY better, they're NOT pink.  They're also much, much cheaper and do a better job.

Nah, a blade is a blade.  I've been using non-pink razors now for more years than I can count.  Good sh*t.  A+.

I totally admit that I bought one of those just to laugh at it for that exact reason.

My neighbors are idiots.  Yes, I understand they are foreigners and their English isn't good, but SURELY there are Korean websites with instructions on how to properly train and manage a dog.  It's a universal subject and I would think all you need is to go to Google.co.kr and look it up.  If your dog is running wild playing chicken with cars while you watch, holding a retractable leash thing that is NOT attached to the dog like that magically makes it okay, you are an idiot.  There is not a "culture" or "language barrier" explanation.  This is a visible hazard.

AND GUESS WHAT, PEOPLE?  YOUR NEIGHBOR DRIVES A HYBRID.

Which means no engine noise to scare your dog in place of you properly controlling your dog.  I don't want to shut MY garage door with the dog in it by mistake.  I do not want to hit the dog.  But at the same time, there IS an inherent risk in their failure to properly train and control their dog and there are so many obvious red flags these people should notice.

And my mom (landlord) already spoke to the adult son who's technically the owner of the dog, who speaks English just fine and SHOULD BE ABLE TO GOOGLE THE SUBJECT OF DOG TRAINING IN TWO LANGUAGES AND NOT JUST ONE.

I might have given the man who was out with the dog today a Kylo Ren death glare this morning.  They have been warned!

"Gendered" products that have the SAME FREAKIN' INGREDIENTS, but one is more expensive than the other. 

I'll just take my Super Huge Manly Bic for Him pens, my Saw Your Face Off for Men razors, and these extremely masculine apples in the black bag because it costs $5 more to purchase the "feminine" version of those things.

I'd love to tell you I'm joking about the manly apples, but I am not.

I bought the regular version of Nair for that reason. $5 extra for it to say "For Men" my ass.

I actually have found the opposite to be true. I prefer women's razors, as they're way less rough on my skin and I don't feel I get any less of a shave.

I actually found a REALLY nice AXE scent that I'm excited over.

That's the body wash, but I also have the deodorant.

It's really mice. Very androgynous scent, that I feel would work well for a man or a woman. Despite being labelled as a "Men's" product.

Normally, I'd agree. But their White Label products are much nicer, less in your face, and don't scream "frat boy" or "high school football MVP."

I am a horrible person.

[Darth Justicar]

Yes.  Both for your initial reason for posting it, AND for reminding me that our local pho restaurant went out of business.  (Yes, I know, wrong country.)

I got to the gym yesterday and discovered my headphones weren't working.  Walmart is right across the street, so it wasn't a big deal to get a new pair, but in the time it took to do that, I could have been DONE being Stairkiller for the day and moved on to angrily noshing my protein bar.  Also, the price of headphones has gone WAAAAY up and hardly any of them come without a mic?  I don't need a damn mic!

Were you looking in the right place?  Perhaps it's all earbuds now.  The young whipper-snappers don't like the bars eh?

[Darth Logos]

My neighbors are idiots....websites with instructions on how to properly train and manage a dog. 

I thought you lived much further south than I do? 

I am currently training the idiot shepherd that lives behind me. It's a circuitous method because I don't want to deal with the white trash owners, but it's progressing rather nicely. When ever he starts barking incessantly, all I have to do is open the back door. He now knows that if he doesn't shut up the hose will be turned on. These audio cues have been enough to teach him what will happen next if he doesn't stop.

All of the headphones are all in this one little area, so yeah.     I had the kind of headphones that are like hybrid between headphones and earbuds.  They have a band that goes over your head (which I like because it keeps my hair out of my face), but the earpieces go INTO your ears rather than just sitting atop them.

I ended up with earbuds this time because while they still make the set I like, it has "bluetooth compatibility" and is suddenly $15 more than it was before.     I don't like the type of headphones that have covers and sit atop your ears.  Very, very bad for sweating it out in the gym.   I found ONE pair of earbuds without a mic and they were reasonably priced at $9.  They'll do until I can get a good pair, but jeez.  I'm not paying for shell I don't even use!

[ThreadJack]

I have a pair of bluetooth earbuds and I USED to like them....until my they decided to stop getting along with other devices. I haven't been able to get them to pair with any device for 2 months now. They were real nice for the gym, as I didn't have to worry about chords getting caught on things, or accidentally pulling them out, etc.

Right now I'm using a pair of plain old ear buds I got for $6. I also have these purple ones with LED lights in the chord(they pulse!).

My next paycheck will contain my normal salary + a bonus + 2 stipends. Why am I venting? I'm likely to be taxed so much that what is left will only give me enough to be able to afford an upgrade from a hamburger to a cheeseburger.

You gotta spread these out a little bit HR.
