My example: rinsing spicy sauces and peppers off in my sink so the spiciness aerosolizes and I realize when it makes me cough. Every. Damn. Time.
Read the instructions all the way through before making attempts to follow them. I was working on a soldering project with a vacuum tube-mount and the instructions said “Solder the coil and vacuum tube-mount… …the vacuum tube-mount can only go in one way so be sure to install it on the reverse side of the pcb”
I tore off 5 out of the 14 traces trying to desolder that one component.
When I open the oven door, I know there will be hot air hitting my face so I’ll wait for like 2 seconds…
After 3 seconds I think, Okay, no hot air, anymore so I move in to get the dish and than the hot air hits my face… Everytime!
How to spell rhythm.
Rhythm helps your two hips move. I have to say it to myself every time.
Hey, that’s great. Thanks.
Never had an issue with that word, but God damnit if “occasion” doesn’t get me just about every time. “Is it 1 C and 2 S’s, or 2 C’s and 2 S’s…?” I remember after writing it down wrong, of course. Stupid English.
Jamaican people have got the right idea spelling it riddim
I am always letting dishes pile up. I tell myself I’ll wash the dishes I made today that evening or I’ll just load the dishwasher instead. Long story short, I am always spending hours washes dishes for no reason.
Do them EVERY time. Just. Do. It.
That one little thing will spill into the rest of your life, and your life will change, guaranteed.
I’ll never learn to spell the word “medieval” without spell check.
just think “medi(cal) eval(uation)”.
I always struggled with that word too, but remembering it like that will probably fix that issue for me. I don’t really have many opportunities to use the word “medieval” though.
“mid evil” is just a minor villain in a movie.
Leaving my wet towel somewhere it doesnt belong after a shower. I am a lot better than I used to be but I still forget it regularly.
Are you one of my kids?
Letting batteries drain too far:
- In phones where it’s hard to replace and old laptops where it’s hard to source a replacement
- In AA/AAA-powered devices where a dead battery will evolve hydrogen gas and eventually break its seal, causing a leak
Also, I really should be buying Lithium AA/AAA cells now that I have so few devices that need them, but I keep buying a pack of alkalines each year. Ni-MH voltage falls just a tad short.
Being sober damnit
