Beaters, too. I have been known to wish aloud for a more prehensile tongue for beaters. Oh, and peaches. I will get every. last. bit. off a peach pit. I have no shame about my food.

I've had some TERRIBLE landlords. I consider them pre-karma for the one I have now - the best landlord I've ever had. He's next door, fixes EVERYTHING, doesn't care what I paint, loves my garden (lots of which is in hanging pots on the porch), lets me use his grill, and even took money off the rent when I fixed up the old workbench in the basement so I could use it. Recently, he came over to tell me he was having a band rehearsal and let me know that I should come over and tell them if it was too loud - and then I got fantastic music through the shared wall all afternoon, at a perfectly reasonable volume.

An actual garbage can is bad because…..? I mean, really, how big are your kitchens?

Unfortunately, I've found most store-bought mint extracts are spearmint. I prefer peppermint - even for savory dishes - so I made my own. It's very easy, and peppermint is incredibly easy to grow. (In fact, the harder part is making it STOP.)

I would also include a somewhat up to date bootable clone of your system. It's a backup and an emergency usability solution all in one, and nothing will make the average user feel more like a badass.

They do this in many parts of the world to save space. IT SUCKS. Everything, and I mean everything, gets wet.
Including not just the clothes, which is expected, and not really a problem for a private master bath, but your toilet paper. You will never forget the taste of shampoo on a toothbrush - and it always somehow happens, sooner or later.

I have been told that they're nice, but I've never ever seen it.

I just thought 'hey, my dog would drink that.' But then, like Twowheeler's dogs, she eats dead things.

Colorblocked books. Way to show just how little you read your giant book collection.

Distressed furniture. Just like distressed jeans, if YOU put the holes there while using it, that's one thing. If you just banged up your new dresser for looks? You make me laugh

Also, now I think about it, 'floating' furniture. What the hell. Why would I stick my furniture in the middle of the room to 'open up' the room? How does that work? Oh yes, look how open this room is with a giant couch in the middle of it. Yeah right.

@NY2MIDMO: Thank you for pointing this out before I had to. I'm getting really sick of articles like this. "7,000 more genes than a human being!" means NOTHING of substance!

Realted to the space cadet in the aisles is the space cadet in the parking lot or doors. I actually had a man stop to examine his receipt in front of my stopped-and-attempting-to-exit car the other day. Had to stick my head out the window and ask him to move!
