cranky pants

[the_siobhan]

I had a rant at somebody at a party a while ago about people who show up with riding crops and or floggers and playfully "whip" people at parties.

I expect to see that stuff at play parties or at kink-themed clubs. Hell, I even enjoy it. But at house parties it just pisses me off. I have this idea that the "consensual" part should also apply to one's potential audience to some degree.

Maybe I'm getting more conservative as I get older. Or maybe just crankier.

The women I work with all have this routine whenever they are leaving the bathroom. They grab a paper towel to open the door, stick a foot out to hold the door open and then toss the paper towel into an adjacent garbage bin.

I know what they're doing - they are trying to avoid picking up germs from those nasty people who don't wash their hands after they use the toilet. But I still think it's funny that they are only that fastidious when it comes to the bathroom door. They think nothing of touching the fridge door, or kitchen faucets, or the security doors or the elevator buttons.

It always makes me visualize the scene from Dead Like Me where the receptionist is licking the telephone receiver.

Want coffee.

With a shot of something in it.

Like, a lot.

thanks for that "rant"... it actually shed some light on my own feelings of discomfort.
