People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Anyone else who is doing it ALL WRONG? Offload here

Yes that's right

Limited my DH has shortened it to just "Question?" I 'hilariously' follow it up with the line from the Destiny's Child song, 'Question: how d'you like this knowledge that I brought?'

He even pauses now for me to add my line

I thought you all meant which way round fo they use the ironing board. I am right handed therefore I have it with the flat, heatproof section on the right and the pointy end on the left. DH is also right handed but insists on putting the pointy end on the right and sitting the iron on that instead of the specially designed section at the other end. It's just wrong.

I'm a swiveler and proud. No butter on sandwiches whatever the filling, and I'm not above a dollop of the old Tommy k on my roast; however wanted to wade in on the teeth brushing ... Some idiot on breakfast TV over the wknd was advocating not rinsing after brushing; thereby leaving frothy mouth and toothpastey towels. Gag x

Finding a dental nurse came into my class and told my children that too. I tried it once after brushing and it was horrendous!

Any mouth wiping after teeth cleaning is done with a tissue, surely? Not on a towel. Gag.

I saw a woman eating fajitas in a Mexican restaurant. She put the chicken, onions and guacamole etc on her plate and then held the tortilla, folded it into 4 and ate it as if it was a slice of bread, one bite at a time along with forkfuls of the meat & veg mixture on her plate. Not folded and rolled up as you do (and the menu shows you...)

My DS made toast and then tried to put the marmite on without butter. He barely made it through the rest of the morning.

You're not supposed to rinse out toothpaste, only spit it out, so the fluoride gets time to work. official advice

Rinsing your mouth after brushing your teeth is wrong!

Lweji it's more he has a job which he hates the product of. Sort of like being a vegetarian butcher. Why??

I don't rinse after tooth brushing!

Non-rinsers... Aren't you left with toothpaste scum all in your mouth? Don't even want to try that. My mum was a dentist and she always taught me to rinse. My family are a bit weird however in that we don't stay in the bathroom to brush teeth. Start off in there and then throughout the brush; you're free to roam the house.

No, you spit out the toothpaste!

I always rinse after brushing my teeth and then sometimes I use a mouthwash. Even my dentist makes me rinse out my mouth with that purple Rootbeer flavour mouthwash when they've polished my teeth.

Surely you'll look like a mouth foaming zombie if you don't rinse the toothpaste out after brushing.

Sort of like being a vegetarian butcher

Not really the same.

I don't like sweet corn, but could easily grow it as a farmer to sell it.

Back in the 70's we were taught to rinse and spit. It's all changed now.

Finding - we're all roamers in this house too

My ex (note I said ex!) and his whole family used to eat roast dinners (made in the microwave!) and then smother it in ketchup!

Can you imagine my horror when I went to a friends house and she was making hotdogs for the dc. Instead of cutting the hotdog roll along the side to put the sausage in, she cut through the TOP of the roll, yes right through the nice crusty bit.

I had to go NC with her after that...........

Spit out here.

AND I like it when there is a bit of toothpaste leftover to swallow. Fresh breath until lunch!

Would you like you be my friend and then go nc with me?!

Yes, you cut through the top of the roll and make a bed for the hot dog to lie on

Of course hotdog rolls should be sliced at the top, it's the only way to ensure the ketchup doesn't leak out. DH used to cut the sides, he has seen sense now.

MrsD and Dame, no surely not....

{faints}

But........the crusty bit - you cannot mess with that part

I was in Staffordshire. Heart of England the signs said. I paid for a cup of tea in a commercial establishment that will remain nameless, in the Heart of England. I received a tall glass of hot, not quite boiled water, with a tea bag on the saucer.

How can anyone get this so wrong? And in the Heart-of-bleeding-England of all places.

Never felt so much like a foreigner in my own country before as I did at that time. Subsequently have decided to emigrate to Ireland at the earliest opportunity.
