The 2025 Trivial Drivel Thread

A urinal mint smells better than Irish Spring. What the hell is wrong with you people?

I love the smell of Dial antibacterial liquid soap. So much that I put a squirt in my mop bucket once lol. It’s not like I buy this stuff on the regular, RC. I just stick to my stupid Dove soap and vinegar for cleaning. Even my laundry detergent is unscented. I have no fun in life. I don’t have those Snuggle or Svitatel fabric softeners or nothing, it fucking sucks.

Get yourself some Mr. Bubble and light some scented candles.

I'm currently using Irish Spring soap. Love Dial soap too. Used it exclusively growing up. VO5 shampoo, especially the girl scents. Makes me feel pretty. Gain laundry detergent. Those commercials aren't lying.

I can't stand the dial soap smell. I got my mouth washed out with that once. It was awful.

Did you get soap poisoning?

Well fuck. Our likely 20+ year old sub-zero fridge is roaring at me. 

I think it’s the ice maker because when I pull out that drawer in the freezer it shuts up. 

It’s been on my mind that the stupid thing is probably an energy hog and needs to be replaced but yet another house thing I don’t want to deal with. 

I hate my house more than you could possibly hate yours, Sally.

And our neighbors have chickens and a rooster. For the last week the rooster has been crowing (think that’s the right term) all day long. I don’t hear it inside but I hear it from our backyard and I want to strangle the damn thing. I thought they were only supposed to do that shit at dawn or something. It’s annoying for me. I can’t imagine having one right up against my house (like they do) making that racket all day long.

Maybe he’s trying to mate. I had some mocking birds mating right next to my window once and they would go at it from dusk to dawn for a week, they were driving me absolutely insane. I wanted to kill a mocking bird alright.

I’m sorry but I draw the line at fucking a rooster to make it shut up. My daughter appreciates the fact that I have that boundary and I couldn’t get her to offer herself up to the rooster either.

No wonder they finally get some though. The females must be as sick of his noise as I am.

Meanwhile my daughter…

“…how do you open the cover thingie over your car’s engine?”.

She’s adding windshield wiper fluid and looking for the damn fill line. Oye.

[sally]

I did not suggest he’s trying to mate with YOU. I know you’re an old hen, but that’s not what I meant for god’s sake.

Could somebody just jerk off the goddamn rooster? WTF is wrong with him? It’s all.day.long. You’d think there are machines or inflatable hens or something that would shut him up.

A bull by the garden is in heat. Cracks me up to hear him. But I wouldn't want to live near it and hear it all day.

[sally]

I went to pick up my dog from a breeder four hours away out in the middle of nowhere. There was a bull blocking the dirt road to her house and when I called her, she told me to just push him out of the way, he’s harmless. Wtf. Luckily he moved on his own because I wasn’t about to get out of my car and try to push his ass out of the way.

I started this text to my brother (because my sister is pissing me off that much):

“I could shred her up into tiny little pieces on so many levels (legally and morally) if I were so inclined…”

Yayy me. I didn’t send it. Patting myself on the back.

But I could chew her up in an instant if I weren’t trying to maintain sibling relationships (which I know my parents would want).

But damn, she gets on my every last nerve.

She sent us some stupid all caps text the other day…

[sally]

I don’t talk to my sister anymore and my husband isn’t all that fond of his siblings either. My kids all have a strong bond, hopefully it stays that way after I’m dead.

[MirahM]

Sibling relationships are certainly interesting.

So I am trying to get caught up on everything this evening, in a fun way, just browsing the web and I get done here and go to FB and see a friend has passed away. And so I go to our common friends-and none of them know yet or have posted about it.
So I'm not going to be the one to post about it or send a message at 10 PM on a Friday night.
I'm going to turn off the web and turn on a movie.

I hadn't seen her in years of course-since I moved away but we kept in contact a little here and there. She was a yoga teacher and had a farm-the post I saw was about them saying they had homes for all the animals and once I figured out she was gone I just quit reading so I don't know what happened yet.

I'm okay-I'm not sad, I didn't post this for sympathy-just a matter of fact-like its weird finding out people passed on fb. Ugh.

I don't talk to most of my brothers anymore. My oldest brother Jim posted on Facebook about celebrating my nephew's college graduation and said something like "It's nice to get together with the family." I felt like posting "I guess we aren't family anymore. Thanks for not inviting me, jerk."
