What's your life too frickin' short for?

[Asterion]

I was in the supermarket earlier, realising that I need to clean a load of windows at home which I've been putting off. I've been dithering over buying a bucket and getting some of those microfibre cloths to do the windows with, because everyone says they're fab and it would save the planet.

And then I thought to myself - life's too frickin' short. So I bought a load of spray window cleaner and some paper towels, and actually cleaned the windows, instead of the constant fussing about "Oh I should use warm soapy water and save the dolphins", or whatever.

What's your life too frickin' short for atm?

I think they are called wrinkle release of crease release. I can't find the one I have on the go at the moment, but this one is the same type of product. They have nice smells to freshen up too. :-)

Life's too short to constantly be on a diet!

This. By the bucketful

Lenor crease release is a bedding crease game changer. Not that I ever ironed bedding but it looks and smells nice!

I just cba any more with trying to keep my house tidy. Untidiness isn't great for my MH but as every other f*cker in my house is messy, it's less stress just to roll with it.

Denying myself anything 😂

Spending the best part of a year, possibly longer, barely seeing anyone or going anywhere except work?

I buy fitted bedsheets, so no ironing here.

In fact, I put everything on a low spin, so not many creases going on.

But more than ever, life definitely is too short for constantly dieting.

People iron bedsheets? Really? Why?

@vizlsapup

Nooo, you must get out the shower to pee, or it affects the enamel! Life is too short for replacing bathrooms

My shower isn't enamel. It's some weird composite stuff.

I iron my work shirts and that's about it. If they didn't crumple like fuck I wouldn't but they do and the managers moan.

Drying dishes - just leave them on the draining board rather than messing about with a tea towel that gets soggy after a bowl and a pan.

I'd include washing up but I don't have space for a dishwasher so I don't have much choice (unless I want to eat off paper plates forever more)

And I can't remember who mentioned it but ironing newspapers sets the ink so it doesn't rub off on your hands.

Ironing.

So many of us hate it. It bores the fuck out of me.

Worrying about what other people think.

Isn't life too short to have showers so long you need to pee half way through?

Drying clothes on the line unless the forecast is absolutely amazing. I can’t be arsed pegging out, watching out for rain, then bringing clothes in in a massive hurry, pegging them out again, watching for the rain again, drying them off on the clothes horse or radiators etc.

I either tumble dry (towels, undies, socks, pyjamas) or hang them all on a clothes horse out of the way in the laundry room until they’re dry.

I tumble dry a lot - my mum is aghast at the unnecessary expense of running the dryer.

Fake, attention-seeking dramas.

I'm very, very sick of it. Either get on with each other or find new friends, stop with the angst, we're not on bloody Dawson's Creek!

“Well, enough about me, let’s talk about something else... like me .”

People like that. Life’s to short to give them the pleasure. As soon as I have an inkling, I just hop on board the Fuckthat train to Nopeville.

Any housework.

Life is too short for housework generally. Dust comes back so what’s the point?

Shaving? Hair comes back.

Just no point. Better to drink very nice wine and eat crisps.

In defence of the humble iron, I love ironing - it's the only part of my life which seems to involve putting order back into chaos with an actual, pleasingly obviously better output! However, my life is waaay to short for cooking. I absolutely hate it 😊

Ironing
Being on a diet

I’m also on team ironing. Makes clothes look like new, love it. Obvs not sheets or underwear, that’s crazy talk

I’m anti drying up, soap operas, bathing the kids more than once a week unless they need it, and I’ve come to realise, sewing/making little things. Lovely and impressive as they are, I want to spend my snippets of free time elsewhere

Not expressing my true opinions and being a little bit of a people pleaser with certain people.

I now express them with respect, but I do express them, if people don't agree that's absolutely fine as life would be boring if we all thought the same, if people get the hump because I don't agree with them.....leave them to it.

Ironing
Team-building activities
Staying in jobs you hate

Boiling rice.

Ironing
Washing dishes (obviously I do when needed but my mum wants me to wash dishes rather than put them in the dishwasher total madness!)
Washing windows
Shaving
Pubic hair grooming

For each meal time not to be a tiny culinary ceremony. If it's not well thought out and executed I'm not even wasting the effort of opening my gob to eat it.
