Getting an ice cream and the cone has the paper wrapped around itself, which sticks to it. Yum.

Lack of affordable housing, seriously do politicians and society expect the low/moderate income earners to live on the street?

Honestly! Have you people never heard of butter knives and jam spoons? One does have one's standards, surely?

Occasionally I'll scoop jam out with a teaspoon, does that count?

Most of the time I just use one butter knife and wipe it off between uses though, because I like to blaze my own trail.

When the stop line is set too far back from the junction, people just ignore it and drive right over it, stopping at the junction itself. Gives me a heart attack every time, thinking that I am about to get t-boned.

Too many of us are heathens it would appear

Nutek - billion dollar idea, let's invent a keurig style kitchen device that toasts, butters and applies condiments perfectly with no messy clean up.
