If it makes you feel better, that same generation will be looking after you when you're too decrepit to do anything.
Tell me about it, my kids are 12 and 16, the younger one uses "like" like a lot like. I figure if I look after them so they respect me (as much as any teenager can) then hopefully they'll be there for me in later life.

Could be worse. You could be sat opposite someone who says "sort of" in every sentence, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. My head is, sort of, about to, sort of, explode. Sort of.

People who use what they think are trendy catchphrases but which just identify them as a c#nt who's trying too hard. Examples include:
"Boom!"

When I buy something and EVERY TIME I get either. Wow you buy a lot of things, wow you must get paid a lot.
NO!!!! I am paid well but I have little outgoings and more importantly NO CHILDREN.
Or the same happens as myself and my other half go away a fair bit.
NO, we are again not rich. We just don't smoke, spend millions down the pub and have no children draining our pockets.
My fav response is why don't you add up what the two darling kids cost you per month with everything factored in and compare to what I spend on stuff and doing things. Soon shuts them up.
Lastly. Ohh when are you having children. We are not. Ohh you will change your mind. No we are both 35 now and have zero want of having our own children. In fact as time ticks on the less we want to sacrifice our freedom0 -

On the flip side. I tend to wash my penis often. It lives in my clean boxers and comes out to pee at work. I don't tend to p.iss all over my hands and/or touch the urinals. I do wash my hands.
Do you wash hands every time you touch any surface, handle, door or other human? Pen etc. As surely using this rule, you should.
If it is the issue of having touched ones dinky and then possibly interacting with other humans? Is that for germs sake? Or just for the fact you have touched little Barry?0 -

Reasonable to assume that the man who doesn't wash his hands after a piss is also not so hot on penis hygiene.
I concur. It annoys me that toilet doors always open inwards so you wash your hands and then have to touch the piss laden handle to open the doorGET WHEEZY - WALNUT LUNG RACING TEAM™0 -

My brother and his wife have no kids, in the last five years they have been on holiday to New York, Las Vegas, six weeks in New Zealand, Singapore and they're flying out to New Zealand to watch the last two Lions tests
I have four kids and I've been on caravan holidays in France and Devon, this year we're going to the Dominican Republic which I have been saving for for three years.....the maths is quite simple!0 -
Kids or fancy holidays? Kids every time - far more entertainment and when i'm old and feeble and no longer have the energy to bugger off on a plane, i'll have all those memories.
Besides, i've done most of my travelling and seen quite a bit.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

For me it's not a choice made on the basis of wanting holidays, it is a lack of any paternal instincts or desires. I have no interest in being a parent, I don't know why but that's just the way it is, it simply does not appeal. I know 2 other childless couples in their early forties who feel the same. Having spare cash is a consequence, not a driver of behaviour.0 -

Having children is ostensibly a selfish choice really. The spare cash I couldn't give a damn about.
If you can truly and honestly come to a mutual decision and not have children, then fair play to you; there's enough people on this planet.
I'm the opposite - i've always wanted to be a parent. Took some 19 years after being told I couldn't have any and 2 minor miracles but I wouldn't change anything.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I have a friend (who takes excellent photos of their child to be fair to them) who uses #makingmemories and #happyblueskydays and all that sort of rubbish, worse still they belong to some weird religious sect so loads of them include God or blessings. The mix of cool young parents and brainwashing their kid with waffle doesn't sit well with me...
They are actually excellent people and the religion part is fine, I just needed the tone to fit in with this thread0 -
Anyone who is actively trying to be cool, usually by having some affectation or other like having a catchphrase, or wearing designer clothes with huge labels that are supposed to tell the world how much money they have.Garry H wrote:0 -

Reasonable to assume that the man who doesn't wash his hands after a wee-wee is also not so hot on penis hygiene.
I concur. It annoys me that toilet doors always open inwards so you wash your hands and then have to touch the wee-wee laden handle to open the door
On the subject of hand washing, we have an NHS poster on the kitchen wall in work telling people how to wash their hands. This annoys me on two levels - firstly that the company thinks the adults working for them might not know the sequence of hand washing and secondly that there are presumably sufficient number of reading age people in the UK who don't know how to wash their hands that the NHS felt it necessary to create a poster telling them the process.0 -

Everyone knows you should turn the tap off with your willy, then put it away with your elbows. I assume the ladies just leave it running.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

That is exactly the problem, many people working in health care do not know how to wash their hands

Sorry to butt in, but Mrs BBGeek informs me that on our trips to Belgium (disclaimer: the Flemish bit), she has never witnessed another woman wash her hands after a pee. She finds this faintly disgusting, and will not eat any more bar nibbles. For some reason I find this slightly exciting, and now I can see where hand kissing came from. And I eat the bar nibbles.Cowsham wrote:twist83 wrote:Cowsham wrote:Sitting in the workplace toilet cubical squeezing one out -- you hear someone arriving, having a slash then leaving without washing their hands.
