I actually don't fault him (despite my other comments) for writing about 'the most banal things' I put that on the person who is reading that thinks it's more than it is. And seem to celebrate it.
Likewise I remember when someone wrote (don't remember who) how they thought it was great that the janitor put a supply of plastic trash can liners at the bottom of the trash can so they'd be there in supply when needed (and when the trash was emptied by taking the existing filled bag). This is something I had done myself forever. Just seemed obvious. So it's more "what's the big deal why are you making like the janitor has figured out some really ingenious trick'"?
Also the other thing that I would guess bothers people is when they say the same things it would get no notice at all (from friends or in an online comment). So it's more like 'why is this guy getting attention and I am not for these simple thoughts'? (This might have been parodied on SNL as 'deep thoughts by Jack Handy' iirc.
- shadowprofile77 7y agoJust to briefly note, the trashcan liner storage thing is actually a bad idea if done like that. The reason why? Sometimes because of defects or rips caused by sharper pieces of trash, followed by kitchen/bathroom liquids accumulating in the same bag as its used, said bag leaks. Having stored the reserve bags inside the same can beneath it, you're now left with a leaky, full garbage bag that soaked not only the easy to clean can but also all the other folded bags, which is a more tedious sort of mess. Better to keep them nearby in a guaranteed dry place.
