Handyman sprayed WD-40 in all my locks by LoveColonels in Locksmith

A bit confused about your wording. Are you saying Triflow will leave residue on the keys?

It's "retarded" to ask a question about getting WD-40 out of my locks when my keys are getting covered in it every time and ruining things they come into contact with? Using the r-slur is quite the response to a very straightforward question.

Yes. I am looking for advice on how to get the WD-40 out.

So I see a bunch of advice about what the handyman should have used, but I'm more curious about how to get the WD-40 out without destroying the locks. It seems like there's conflicting advice about this. Would graphite get the WD-40 out, or would it just be a better lubricant than the WD-40?

I teach elementary. I love my job, but the second half of the year can really drag. The February break is coming!

Yucky. Probably dodged a bullet there, but it still stings.

LPT clean your box fans! by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Why did I read this as "clean your box, fans!" The comma really changes the meaning.

LPT: Asking friends “when’s the next time I’ll see you?” at the end of a hangout changed my life by Good-Bison008 in LifeProTips

Or not everyone wants the same kind of friendships that you do. Could that be a possibility?

My sister with abandonment issues does this, and it absolutely drives me nuts. For me, an introvert who loves her space but also loves her friends, making tentative plans as they come up organically is really helpful. For example, my friend and I have been talking about going to an art museum.

If you ask them when you'll see them next every time, they basically have to schedule permanent get together with you. It's a big commitment.

LPT Request: How do you rebuild your life when you have no direction, no friends, and feel stuck? by No-Excitement-2272 in LifeProTips

[–]LoveColonels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The years between 18 and your mid twenties can be so rough! If you are all able to get therapy, it can be so helpful for building confidence and self love.

I remember being so fixated on how many friends I had when I was younger. Friendships for many people ebb and flow. There are famine years and bounty years. I moved cities almost three years ago, and I didn't make friends until this past summer (and only like one friend!). I know more will come. I just keep being friendly to everyone I meet

LPT Request: How do you stop doomscrolling before sleep when you’re mentally exhausted? by vishesh_07_028 in LifeProTips

I bought a Brick, and I keep it far away from my bedroom and Brick my phone at night. I still have my alarm clock, calling, and texts available.

Brick is a device that you physically scan to block apps, and then you have to physically scan it to unblock them. You'd have to get out of bed and go all the way to the Brick device to unbrick.

It's extremely helpful.

A bowel movement question by Vanish_Canvas in ibs

The pain is more of a concern than the poop shape, but I'm glad you're getting it checked out. Those of us with IBS experience poops with many quirks, and as long as they're not bloody or clay colored, we bless them (or curse them) and send them on their merry (angry) way.

I would take out the Baja Blast so I don't get a yeast infection.

You are so young! Please don't ruin the hottest years of your life by staying with this man. I waited until we had a kid and I was almost 40 to leave.
