I bet you tried that..:p
Several times in several ways. :D

Can you hold your nose and hum the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

You'll be an Internet star if you've got a Webcam. You'll go virtually veritably viral, but in a good way.

Well stomp my foot and throw a temper tantrum in the candy aisle. So, you've run out of excuses and justifications for rude, inconsiderate and selfish attitudes and behaviors, and now you're going to attack me instead? Really? Just ignore all that other crap, and come directly at me? Seriously. Well, OK, if that's where you want to go....

If you were to come to my home and take a shower, and change out the shower head, that would be the last time you would be in my home. Those are the only showering rules I make. I suspect the reverse would be true in your home, as well, where if I were to engage in plumbing in your home without getting your permission, you'd kick me out, too.

All the other rules regarding showering have been made by society, and I simply choose to live by them in a civil manner without disrespecting others. I am hardly dictating what you can and cannot do. I really thought you had more intelligence than that, and am quite amazed that you can construe anything I have said here as being dictatorial, but clearly I have given you far too much credit. I have simply stated the case of why one cannot get what they want when they want it simply by virtue of the fact they want it really, really badly (see homosexual, same-sex-marriage; see democrat, whiny little liberal; see 18-month old, waaa, waaa, waaa). On the other hand, and far be it from me to bring in something from outside the current thread, but I seem to recall you vigorously defending the actions of spammers, using one of the lamest justifications I have ever read, presumably because you are a spammer yourself. That would certainly explain a lot regarding the level of respect you have for others.

All I have done here is promote the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

All you have don is promote the infantile, instant gratification, sociopathic version of the rule, completely devoid of moral responsibility or social conscience: Whatever you do unto others is perfectly fine so long as it benefits you.


Now, do you really want to continue attacking me, or would you rather go back to discussing the pros and cons of shower head exchanges?

I havent run out of justifications or excuses, but was merely asking you a question.If you want to have a public temper tantrum, so be it..lmao right now..I am finding this all too humorous....How you are taking this all too seriously and getting bent out of shape.

I look at things a little different than you: If someone came to my house and changed shower heads, I'd laugh about it..no big deal..It is what they prefer.

This has me wondering about youre views on proper placement of the roll of toilet paper on the toilet paper dispenser..The part that hangs down along the wall, or facing the room, what is correct? lmao..

Turtle, chill out...call Cleo..consult Dr.Phil....Call Mork from
Ork...something!!lol...

Sorry, nice try, but that dog don't hunt. It wasn't merely a question, since there is clearly no answer. It was an asinine question asked as a challenge. It was simply a rewording of the equally asinine, "You're not the boss of me," routine that people come up with when they don't like their actions being questioned. Unless, of course, you really and truly believe there is someone out there who gets to make up showering rules and then dictate what should and should not be done. But I don't believe that to be the case, since it's a question you would have asked far earlier in the thread. You waited until you were out of excuses and justifications, instead, and realized there was no way you were going to convince people that changing out a shower head at a truck stop is anything other than rude, inconsiderate and selfish.

lmao right now..I am finding this all too humorous....
Oh, yeah, of course you are. :rolleyes:

How you are taking this all too seriously and getting bent out of shape.
You're the one who got all snippy and defensive when I and others pointed out how selfish it is to change out a shower head for no other reason that you think you are entitled to something you did not pay for.

I look at things a little different than you:
Clearly. Where I see stealing, you see entitlement. Where I see the Golden Rule, you see Gimme More Gold. Where I see selfishness, you see 'But I want it, therefore I should have it.' A little different, indeed.

If someone came to my house and changed shower heads, I'd laugh about it..no big deal..It is what they prefer.
Sorry, I don't believe that for a second. You'd have to be the most gracious, accommodating and unselfish host in the history of hosting for that to be true, and I'm just not seeing it.

This has me wondering about youre views on proper placement of the roll of toilet paper on the toilet paper dispenser..The part that hangs down along the wall, or facing the room, what is correct? lmao..
Either is correct, and is largely a personal preference based on habit. In a survey of American consumers and of bath and kitchen specialists, 70% of respondents prefer over, since the over method allows the defecator easy access to grab the toilet paper and pull off the desired amount of paper, as the roll spins toward the user.

From a physics perspective, over requires less torque, which reduces the angular momentum, has a reduced moment of inertia, and a further reduced angular momentum, than that of an under roll. On the other hand, the decreased angular momentum can be a significant problem if you have toddlers or cats in the house, as both will tend to spin the roll towards themselves, resulting in a nice little pile of toilet paper on the floor.

Turtle, chill out...call Cleo..consult Dr.Phil....Call Mork from Ork...something!!lol...
I'm quite chilled, thanks. It would be interesting to get Dr Phil's take on the changing out of truck stop shower heads.

I dont see the big deal on changing out the shower head but hey if that makes you happy than thats great. But a shower is a shower. Your in there to wash your butt and get out and go about your day. I do like hefty pressure on a shower but if its not there no big deal im in and out in 10 minutes give or take

I was at Meijers the other day,and noticed they had these chrome plastic shower heads for $2.99, so I bought one.After performing the usual sugery of removing the water-saver feature, I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning to use it.Let me tell you all this: It will knock the tiles off of the wall, it is so powerful.Awesome.I even think it removed some hairs from my rear-end as well...lol.What a deal!!!As soon as I get back up there, going to get some more and hand them out as gifts.
