The Next Big Unimportant Thing

[dr_mabeuse]

Hell, it's spring break, so this should be perfect. Classify it along with the toilet-paper-off-the-roll and the change-on-top-of-paper-money issues:

When you hang up a coat or a jacket, should the buttons/zipper face towards your left or your right?

---dr.M.

 

[lucky-E-leven]

Suppose it depends on whether you're right or left handed. I'm right handed and prefer that the buttons face to the left. Hold the hanger with the right hand and remove the garment with the left hand, replace the hanger and then place right hand directly in the right sleeve.

It cannot be healthy that I just sat here and put this much thought into such a question...but I am a very methodical person and almost always do the same things the same way. Left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe....same arm into bra strap first every time. Just the way I am.

Toilet paper must roll from top in my house (and I've even changed it in other people's home ).

No opinions on change/paper money issue.

Hmmmmm

Sorry Doc, I'm a messy untidy bastard, never noticed or taken an interest actually in how the buttons wind up when I chuck my jacket on the floor.

I am very fussy about the bog roll issue though, it must come off the top to avoid accidental unrolling of the rest of the paper.


Hey lucky, wanna experiment with different ways of fastening and unfastening your bra

I've no opinion on the direction of the hanging jacket, I'm proud of myself when I bother to hang it up at all, but I must vehemently agree on the toilet paper issue. (and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one compulsive enough to change it when other people's toilet paper rolls are on there wrong! ) Hubby claims not to have an opinion on way or the other on the positioning of the toilet paper roll. I think he's just afraid to tell me he thinks it should roll from the bottom.

I didn't care about how money was placed back in the wallet until I started working for a bank. Now I look at these people and the horrible way they treat their money and think, 'Heathens!'

I've just put as much thought into that Lucky and to do this the way you imagine; the buttons have to face right or you have to reach round to get the collar of the jacket. Or do you take the jacket by the lapel, letting it dangle awkwardly with the left sleeve almost touching the floor? Different question entirely.

P.S We don't do spring break over here Mab.

Boredom, mostly. A story that's not going well.

Where I teach, we all share a closet in the stockroom. I never paid much attention to the way I hang things up, but I noticed that everyone seems to hang things opposite from the way I do. I noticed this and thought, "What a ridiculously inconsequential thing to think about. I've got to bring this to the AH!"

Seems we're suffering the same boredom and story frustration. Wanna' get a cup of coffee?

Inconsequential things are what prompt most of my ideas...maybe I'll find inspiration in this one and get my ass in gear.

Bambi was standing in the cloakroom perplexed over the fact that many of her colleagues at the topless club hung their jackets facing the wrong direction. She was so deep in thought that she didn't realize Biff, the burly bouncer, had slipped in behind her...

There you go, Min! Your first story and it's got such potential.

Title: Bimbos and Bouncers? Buxom and Burly? Baffled and Brazen?

Let's have more, sweetie! Throw in a recycling scene or a tree planting and you've got an entry for Earth Day.

Yes!

Lucky and Mindy-THANK YOU!

TP from the bottom is just WRONG! It is probably the only disagreement my mother and I have. And we constantly change it in each other's homes.

I hang buttons to left. Hubby hangs them to right. Is this what they mean by opposites attract?

I am obsessive compulsive about the money in the wallet, too. I even organize the change drawer at work. Gosh it feels good to get that off my chest!

Thanks!

Obviously a big girl down there as well as up top if she couldn't feel him slipping in, or maybe he's all muscles and no d***.....................

But she suffered a huge disappointment when all he did was talk about basketballs, whistling in elevators and how well liked he was, not just liked but well liked.

Spring break was last week for my uni; but only the faculty and students get off (time-wise); still I goofed off a lot.

I hang my stuff all in the same direction. I do not hang my clothes with strangers.

p.s. Minge, that really is a lovely beginning, write more.

Dr you know I have too many skeletons in my closet, no room to bother hanging them. Besides what did they do to desrve such cruel punishment? So they lump up nicely on the floor until the maid comes. ( I have not remarried as of yet )

I am not going to bother digging out my TP picture, this time. Maybe the next informative nothingness thread will perk my spontaneous desire to show the bland picture.

Sitting back down with some chips and a bowl of chocolate guacamole. MMMM, you shold try it some time; would you like the Recipe?

Beats me, at home I just drop 'em where I stand.
When away somewhere, I am a follower. I look how the jacket next to mine hangs, and to the same thing.

well, here's my sorry and intellectualized take: we read from left to right in NA, so I will suggest that clothes in a closet would face left, because of our need to took at them from the front, to see if they might actually look good on us. We push clothes to the right, to see them, or pull them to the left to similarly see - but we always want to see the front, never the back. Left/ right handed has nothing to do with it - I think its based on how we view any image, including reading.

If someone hangs them to see the back, well, now there is an interesting character! If someone is of a different culture? Well, I have no frigging idea

And when good looking min'ts throw them all over the place, and pick them up from the chaos - WELL - that is a whole intriguing story in itself

Atta boy, Doc.

Let me congratulate you on coming up with the most insignificant, mindless, time wasting, non-writing related, ANAL COMPULSIVE thread in the history of Lit.

Maybe we should next delve into a thoughtful discussion of how we organize our socks, stockings, and underwear. If that's too controversial, maybe we could share some thoughts on where those who use a toothbrush keep it between uses or where we press the tube of toothpaste.

Muttering and mumbling to himself, the old fart turns back to the basketball game between mighty Kansas and underdog Pacific.

I know it's not a writerly thread, but this place has been dead as hell all weekend and lately the most writerly threads have been all about the author and how he/she's affected by writing, etc.

I rather enjoyed bending my mind away from that for a sec. to talk about hanging clothing and toilet paper. And, as Rumple's donned his cool glasses and returned to the ball game, maybe you'd indulge me about this tooth paste thing?

Squeezes it right from the freakin middle of course! It finally dawned on me a couple of years ago to just get my own damned toothpaste. Now I don't care what he does to his, the damned heathen.

Wait a minute! I'm supposed to be hounding you, aren't I?

GET WRITING!!
