We had 2 little Maltese dogs, whose bark could wakeup the dead.
This is a big peeve of mine. Some people really do need a dog. Yet the current status makes it harder for those who legitimately need one.As a property manager forbidding companion animals is a quick way to run afoul of the law…
So basically a doctors note supersedes the rental agreement.
I did the very same thing to myself last weekend, not my tongue in cat food, but my finger in a grease gun tube. They use the same pull tab design on the larger 14 oz. tubes....we had a cat years ago with a bleeding tongue from getting food left in can out. Tongue healed eventually but you'd think manufacturers could come up with a better design.
Here is another peeve of mine; autocorrect.This is a big piece of mine
Or grease guns in general. Almost impossible to replace a cartridge without getting covered with grease. The old tube always seems to stick in the cylinder & putting it all back together is a general PITA, especially with your hands all greasy. As Fuddy noted, there ought to be a better design.I had just gotten the last shot I was gonna get out of my 14 oz. grease gun, greasing spindles on the mower, and set it aside to change the cartridge before putting it away. Then I was working on chainsaws next, and when I went to grease a sprocket nose bar, I noticed the little Oregon push greaser I use for greasing nose sprockets was also empty.
"No problem," I think, the amount of leftover grease you throw away with each of those 14 oz. tubes is probably just enough to fill the Oregon push greaser. So, I unscrew the top from the big grease gun and swipe my finger around the inside of the end of the tube to collect up a big glob of the stuff to tuck into the Oregon greaser.
Not just autocorrect, but predictive typing too. I don't have a smartphone so I don't know if either "feature" can be disabled on one, but both are the first things I turn off in a browser or webmail.Here is another peeve of mine; autocorrect.
I changed "piece" to "peeve" twice, yet it still posted wrong
