eating

I personally go extremely out of my way just to be polite, so I'm not surprised to hear that other kind-hearted suckers have to. On a Reddit thread, one of the users asked others about the worst things they have eaten just to be polite, and the responses got super gross and random real quick. I didn't realize food could go wrong in so many ways, yet here we are. Let's take a shot in honor of these poor people who were victimized by their own politeness. Scroll down for the total gruesomeness that awaits you. 

The past year has been a big one for takeout. Being stuck at home day in and day out means that cooking has somewhat lost its' novelty. Back in the day, AKA in 2019, we had restaurants to turn to when we needed a break from the kitchen. But nowadays, ordering takeout is our only option, and people are taking advantage of it in a big way. These tweets sum up the joys of ordering takeout over the past year and how our local Uber Eats driver has become our new best friend.

All first-time parents can relate to the never-ending, panic-inducing task of sterilizing their baby's bottles. All. Day. Long. Seriously, the lengths we go to keep our eldest kids safe, ensuring that every piece of feeding equipment has been washed with hot water, soaked in bleach, and then washed in more hot water. Just in case we missed a microbe of dirt. Our hands may be scalded and raw, but we'll do anything to keep our babies protected, right?

Meanwhile, our little angels sit there eating trash out of the garbage, picking up bits of dirt from the floor, and putting anything and everything they can find in their mouths. I mean, what is the point?! And so, when it comes to our second child, quite frankly, they can eat whatever they want, from wherever they want. And sterilization can f*ck right off!

And in case you missed last week's top shower thoughts, here they are.
