  • Worked with a lot of people from India. I’m guessing it’s from one of the many Hindu sub-religions (is that the proper term?). They worship a lot of different gods in different ways. Though some were Muslim and did call to prayer in the afternoons. Noticed some would slide the shoe and sock off and wipe down the bottoms of their feet after washing their hands. Others didn’t go quite that far and would more touch the bottoms of their socked heels with a damp hand. I presume a more symbolic gesture than anything. Which is why I also assume it’s religious and not for hygiene.

    It was only a few from hundreds that I saw this behavior from.

    Wasn’t super crazy as the washing of hands and feet is also symbolic in Christianity as well.


  • Disclaimer: I usually wash my hands.

    Those that don’t wash their hands touch the door handle leaving the restroom. They also likely touch the main door handle leaving the store. If you wash your hands, aren’t you undoing it immediately?

    I thought about this a lot at my last office I worked at. We had a wide variety of washers, non-washers, religious who also washed their feet (over and under socks), and people who washed and used the paper towel to open the bathroom door but subsequently opened the next door bare handed, and the germophobe who never touched any surface barehanded.

    There’s no good answer. Though, metal is a pretty bad surface for germs to live on if that helps. My recommendation is to just wash your hands and then try not to think about the rest.

    When the guy keeps fucking the uglier of the two girls and the pretty one is just kinda sitting there.

    When the girl doesn’t even get full naked. You’ve been fucking for almost an hour, why is your top still on? I wanna see your tiddies already!

    No story or talking or setup at all.

    When a girl is keening/moaning for no reason. She’s not being touched, or anything, yet she’s super loud. Breaks the willing suspense of disbelief.




  • I heard an argument for this that I hated. Someone confessed this was how they drive on purpose. They set cruise for speed limit or just under so everyone who wants to pass can do so on the right. They don’t have to worry about traffic merging or trying to get over for an exit. It’s all so they can sit on their phone and not have to pay attention to other drivers and be somewhat safe about it.

    It makes sense, but it has the same energy as the people who drive around with their brights on all all the time so they can see slightly better, and F everyone else.









  • I’ve searched far and wide, and there are only a scant few books that do the classic wizard’s tower. POV of the master wizard that is retiring to do research and really dig into the limits of magic. Maybe pick up the hero of the world as his apprentice, but not from his pov at all. The wizard sees the aftermath of his misadventures and offers words of wisdom and the occasional spell he might be ready for. Sure there’s a romantic intrest with his other apprentice, but he ignores that too. They do a fine job at cleaning, cooking, and local monster removal.

    He occasionally gets together with other retired wizards and they chew the fat and complain about their apprentices and how often they end up in the news or jail.

    Comedy/ slice of life fantasy. No high stakes, if an apprentice brings back a problem it’s big in their eyes, but fixed with a wave of his hand, and a warning. Or they’re taught a lesson and have to fix it themselves by researching before the wizard has to intervene, because then it’s chamberpot duty with no magic cleaning for a month.
