Why does anyone need a "normal" flow toilet these days? Current low flows work fine and don't let my shit annoy me

You have to look at the damage done.
And numbers involved.
*And the motivation.*
(Road to hell paved...)
Saving planet earth vs add a few more hundred to your companies million$$ portfolio.
How many junkies vs how many kids wants smoothie?
All your *normal things* are pretty recent. So not normal for most of human existence.
Maybe.
Digging your comfortable rut, and "laughing while Rome burns" seems to be your attitude.

The irony of a “shit that annoys you” thread devolving into a low flow toilet rant.
Brilliant!. . .

They should have a deposit on syringes somehow so the junkies would bring them back instead of leaving them lying around.

Ya until you go to the beach and get one stuck in your goddamn foot. Or have to keep your kids out of the newly built playground because the fucking assholes won't take their gear with them. Easy enough to stop the needle problem though, just stop handing out narcan. Problem solved

I always thought this was hyperbole until I got to Seattle. It's a sad fucking mess, and there is no doubt the sanctimonious enabling is making it worse. It annoys me when I get emails from my daughter's school asking me to talk to them about needles on the playground yet again.

My employer gave me a letter of intent, inviting me back to teach for another year. The first 3 words of the letter were "We are sorry to inform you....." I almost had a goddamn heart attack after reading that. Why the fuck would you start a letter that way unless you're firing me?
Turns out our union hasn't agreed on a new contract yet so the rest of the sentence read ".....we have yet to agree on a contract yet but...." Scariest 7-10 seconds I can remember.
Jesus fuck, who is editing these things.

You get the gold star for not being very self aware.
Low flow showerheads and toilets?
Ah, can I "remind" you about social cost?
While I don't agree with all the things government does to help us be more responsible - the intent is to lower the social cost of bad decisions. Using 20gal a minute for your shower is a miserable waste of water. In an effort to conserve water, they limit the showerhead flow. Pretty much all the kinds of rules you're complaining about follow that same rule-set. So, they're all pretty much the same as the needle exchange program you're *not* complaining about. Heh.
It's hilarious!

$1k plumbing bill because we forgot to disconnect a hose soon enough over the winter. Annoyed that I forgot but also annoyed at faucet design because WTF should it only drain when a hose isn’t attached.

I'll tell you what annoys me - high country residents that get sick and tired of the endless winter shit and then come down and fucking gum up our nice, warm, sunny, dry trails down here.
It's worse than the Ikon shitshow.

When you're really grown up, ie old, kids gone, been cooking 7 nights a week for 40+ years, you'll realize that the grown up thing is to eat out as much as you can afford. However, when it requires a minimum of 45 minutes for the wife to do hair, makeup, and dress to go to the Thai place, you order in more. And since is the shit that annoys thread--people who lecture me on what's healthy to eat. You're not my doctor, so STFU.
Hard to blame the design. When you turn off the faucet, the hose and faucet are still full of water, so how is the non freeze faucet supposed to drain--the water has no place to go. Now if you completely drained the hose the last time you use it before freeze season you might be ok--I'm not a plumber so I don't know for sure, but if you did that you would have removed the hose.
People--highlanders, lowlanders, anyone else--who thinks that where they live belongs to them. You own the property you live on, unless you're renting. That's it. You live in a nice place that people want to come to--putting up with those people comes with the territory. You can always move to North Dakota and no one will bother you.
Cities that restrict public parks to locals only or charge out-of-towners a fee annoy me. This is a fairly new thing. Yeah the locals' taxes pay for the parks but the visitors are paying taxes somewhere else. There was a time when people were more hospitable but I guess those days are over and we all try to build walls, literal or figurative, around ourselves.

Would you be surprised if I told you that Boulder, Colorado does this via paid parking for any out-of-county autos?

Greenwich, Ct., Todds Point. Awesome park. Crying shame. But, If not, in a few weeks time, it would turn into Orchard Beach, so, I get it.
