It has come up once again.... Office microwave etiquette, article 39: Thou shall not reheat animal protein of aquatic origin.

@WhiskeySandwich How does that need to be revisited in this modern day, open a window I can smell it from here?!?

Whale, Dolphin, Seal......Or fish?

Platypus?

@Giles hmm, I’m not sure how aquatic mammal reheats, but I’m thinking all of the above

@WhiskeySandwich The biggest fight I ever had with a co-worker,was with this woman who would put left over fish in the microwave,and then split and go do something else and not be there to take the fish out when it was done. I had mentioned it to her on several occasions,but she just ignored it. The office manager,who I didn't get along,with actually ruled in my favor.

@Giles Hydration break? You mean Powerade adverts! $$$

I don’t know why it bothers me so much. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands, but it really gets under my skin when people post pictures of a new shirt, boots, shoes, or whatever from multiple outings and then a few weeks later list it for sale as “new.”
I’m probably as guilty as anybody when it comes to buying too much stuff and only wearing it once, twice, or three times, but I’ll never sell something as new if it’s been worn even once. And I definitely wouldn’t put the tags back on.
Iron Heart is probably one of the easiest brands to do it with too. That little placard or whatever it’s called can be put back on in a second, and I probably could have done that a hundred times with shirts I’ve sold over the years. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Once I’ve worn it, it’s used. Maybe not heavily used, maybe barely used, but it’s not new anymore.

@northsouthdenimguy I like the only tried on but you can see obvious creases in the legs…some of the descriptions are questionable.

-
What is even worse is that they put it back on sale in the forum and they ask original price plus shipping.
-
…my eye twitches a bit when I’m going through some ads…
The ones that I will comment on, are the extremely rare so I’m going to ask over the sale price…this marketplace is not the right place to do so and there are better platforms for those type of transactions.
Once had some one trying to sell a pair of super rare jeans from early IH days for $20,000…
-
The same people who will wear something a few times and then send it back to a stockist or the .com as “unworn” and “returnable.”
I should probably step off my soapbox before I get myself in trouble, though.
-
@northsouthdenimguy …I’m doing the same, but will admit that it is an excellent rant and needed on occasion.
Out…
-
Or the guy in Hong Kong who cut a slash in his jeans when opening the packet, but denied that he had done it. We asked him to return them so we could check it out. Yes, the cut in the packet married up perfectly with the cut in the jeans. Now every time he orders, he specifically asks us to check that there are no cuts in the item before we pack and ship.
Fuck right off, we know, and you know what you did. So reminding us every time you order just pisses us off......

@northsouthdenimguy or buying slightly used only to find out the right sole was dragging behind a motorcycle for 30 miles and the left is “newish”
