*looks around*
i'll start.
mrs. cray has a little gadget thing that is anchored to the dishwasher handle on one end and the other end snaps / grabs (whatever you want to say) onto the dish towel.
she found this thing at bed, bath and beyond. speaking of beyond, she is beyond happy about finding this little gem. it clearly has contributed to her daily happiness.
anyway, there it hangs. right there next to the sink perfectly convenient if you need to dry your hands after using the sink.
except....
i need the gd towel needs to be mobile. what if i want to dry off the table? or the stove?
or whatever. there are a million reasons why this thing is a bad idea.
i hate it.
*sigh*
my confession is that i have been lying to mrs. cray about my love for the thing. i tell her "it's great! how did we live without this thing?!"
"i wish we had one for the bathroom." etc etc. it's amazing how convincing i am!
the minute she leaves for work in the morning i disconnect the towel from its anchor and just throw it on the counter
or sometimes i'll hang it over the oven door handle. other times i'll put it on the back of kitchen chair. i'll even hang it, untethered, right back on the dishwasher handle sometimes! (that one is a big "f u" to the anchor thingy!)
then at 2:30pm (i set a daily reminder on my phone) i go the kitchen and chain the poor towel back up before she comes home at 3.

Dear cray:
I started to answer you with a regular post, but I realized that your confession required a response in Courier font.
I myself, being a woman, have one of those little clips. It is responsible for tearing holes in two of my nice dishtowels because I have a habit of just grabbing and yanking. Like you, I favor a towel that is mobile, something I did not fully realize until after I purchased the clip.
My solution is to simply drape the towel over the top of the gadget thingee. If the towel has one of those little loop thingees, it works especially nicely, but if not (and not all of mine do), you can just kind of drape it. See, that way, I don't have to admit to myself that I hate the little gadget.
I hope this helps,
Sincerely,
CassandraW

*glances at thread title*
Well, I suppose I should confess something too.
A really sweet lady has lived down the hall from me for six years. She got my name wrong half a dozen times running in the first few months after she moved in so...
I gave up and stopped correcting her. She's been calling me by the wrong name for five and a half years, and I just answer.
I recently had to explain this to a new neighbor after she witnessed nice lady call me by the wrong name. New neighbor said, "Wait, I though you said your name was ___." I explained. New neighbor looked at me like I was nuts, and suddenly I wondered if I was.
See, in real life I have an unusual name and I'm totally used to people getting it wrong. I get tired of correcting them, and hey, as long as I know what to answer to, it doesn't much matter, right?
Right?

i'm with you, calandra. it's too late to tell her.
besides it would probably shatter her faith in humanity and she'd jump out a window or something.

At least, they often end up falling out of windows. Or at any rate, they end up on the wrong side of windows. Sometimes they need help getting there, of course. |

there's blame to be had on both sides of the window.

My theory is that blame attaches on the other side of the window from me.
I don't see how I can be wrong about this. I double-checked with the paper on my desk.

It's a very bad piece of paper. Very, very bad. It's a terrible shame it messes up your beautiful desk, believe me. Sad! |

I have a yuuuuuge desk. Lots of elbow room. Bigly. Everyone tells me, they say, "You've got the greatest desk."
I don't keep paper on it, though. Papers - they're mostly bad hombres.

You could always set fire to them.

Forgive me. I forgot to whom I was speaking.
You could also set fire to the paper on cry's desk, if you were feeling ambitious.

Confession: I've been living a lie. I actually like some disco music.

Most people don't know that I have a desk. They don't. Did you know I have a desk? It's the best desk. Let me tell you about my desk. My desk. It's a good desk. A great desk. My desk. Most people don't know that I have that desk. I keep things on it. Good things. Great things. But no paper. No battery. That's for low energy loosers.
