How do I unlearn to read?

I'm afraid you actually unlearned to write. Are you sure you really can't read what I'm saying?
Elementary school librarians told me reading would open up my mind to new possibilities. They didn't specify what kind of possibilities.
There's always Reddit for that.:-P
I also don’t, simply because my high school had a string of vandalism where some kid was pulling all of the water fountains out of the walls. Like he was just ripping them straight out. There’s no way they could support someone putting their entire body weight on it to shove the spout up their ass.
amaze me, i wana hear OR stories
Thx for that story, ima better cancel my Nerfball order now....
There's also insertion and water pressure issues. It doesn't add up, I tell you.
Anyone remember that "devious licks" trend?
Not even remotely the same but in the 90's mcdonalds still had salt and pepper shakers on the tables. I knew a guy who loved throwing them in the bag when he got up from the table along with the ten straws he grabbed and wad of napkins. He really was under some serious financial stress in no way due to anything he had done. I refused to use the salt and pepper shakers at his house and he kept bugging me as to why. I told him he didn't want to know but he insisted. Finally I told him about the time I saw some kids going from table to table licking the tops of the shakers. He immediately threw them all away. Later they started to reappear and it was because he figured out at the first of the month they replaced them and the new one usually had the seal left on them.
Before you trash the guy for doing that. The guy made 80 grand one year and could barely afford food. All that money went to paying his wife's medical bills. She had grown up inside the boundary of a superfund site out in new mexico and had all kinds of tumors and other problems. It was called a pre existing condition and his insurance wouldn't pay for hardly anything. They finally divorced so she could get SSI. That was in the early 2000's. This country sucked then and it still sucks.
The concept of cleaning things also saves a ton of money compared to throwing things away.
They were disposable salt and pepper shakers. I know you think it saves money but you can bet some bean counter at corporate did the math to prove that wrong.
Why did he need more than 1 or 2 pairs of salt and pepper shakers though? Why did Mcdonalds need to replace them every month instead of refilling them?
I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.
So into the landfill they flow!
Ah, I didn’t think that disposable ones would exist!
They still do exist. You can buy them at just about any store in the US. Mine are fifty year old Tupperware salt and pepper shakers. They may outlast the universe.
This is a strong argument for bidets on public toilets
