A frolic in Cambodia

In a hotel or at home.

Think your wardrobe sucks? Check out the sweater project.

I wasn't the one who didn't like biting. I like biting, within reason. There has been biting at home, and biting in hotels.

You're smearing my makeup, and I have a dinner tonight!!!

If that guy weren't so cute, I'd swear he was a friend from college. Oh wait, except the friend from college was from downstate IL, not Ohio. And was not cute.

This place is dead. I have nothing good, so I'll go with the following:

So, I'm in the elevator and it's the type that doesn't make that "boop" sound when you push the button. In fact, you don't even get to depress anything. It's like a flat sensor and it lights up around the edges. Very unsatisfying. And today, the button didn't even light up. I would like the sound. I would prefer if you could actually push a button. But give me something, man. No light even? Unacceptable.

POLL: What little thing like this gives you a small, strange sense of satisfaction?* Does anyone have any other examples like this?

*(Yez, I see the joke. If you can't do better than the first joke that will surely pop into everyone's head, don't bother.)

OK. Stupid, but so is yours. I like the big "Walk" button that you can push. Over and over and over again. Not the little button that you have to push with your thumb and it's sheltered by a little hood so you can't beat it with the palm of your hand. I like the big chrome button. That you can smack.

This is an invitation for everyone to describe their ocd tendencies, but anyway.

I like the small "pop" of a jar lid. And also pulling back the foil of a vacuum-packed container, like coffee.

I also like hitting a pack of cigarettes before opening it to pack the tobacco (even though I don't smoke anymore, I will open a pack for my friend because I like doing that). That's very satisfying.

Unlike Jerry, I like my barber. Well, most of them. There's only one guy who sucks--"just a trim" means take almost everything off. "take almost everything off" also means take almost everything off. With women, this isn't a bad approach. With barbers, well . . . .

So, how to avoid the lousy guy? Unlike some customers, I don't really care to have a specific barber--it's not important to me--so putting my name on the list for one guy or another means needlessly waiting. Thoughts? (And I've tried saying "just a little means just a little"--no nuance apparently)

Don't move to TCOTU then--they're just for show:

Dude. A little is subjective. What's little to you is a lot to another - apparently. Give the man a number. I'd like exactly 1/2" taken off. Or 1" or whatever. That way, if you see him going for the gusto, you can stop him and say - hey, is that 1/2"? He'll get the hint.

I have to admit I giggle when people respond to my socks. It's almost worth the effort. I am Flinty, we are legion.

Pretty much everything little like that. Hearing the trill of my bberry getting an email message right after I hear the ding of the computer getting the email message. Watching the lights dance on the card reader after I swipe my ID card through. The motion sensors making my lights go on in my office when I walk in.

Those examples are all from this morning alone.

I think I just like knowing that things are working like they should.

If you ever meet my kids, know that they get to push the button.

Sorry, but that's what happens when you grow up.
