My wife is as bad at unloading the dishwasher as she is at loading it. Completely unsystematic and disorganised.
I load and unload the dishwasher every time, and I’m quite happy doing it…Zen.

After many years, we finally settled on the opposite. I loaded, the boss emptied.
This is it in our house, she's far better at loading it than I am.
And she knows it.Beyan, I understand the Zen part. Still, it sounds like your wife is a very clever lady

What about designer razors? Is a person's self-worth so messed up they'd pay $1,000 or more for one? Until the next fad came along? Or a Plisson costing even more?
I'm not sure that a razor used in the privacy of one's bathroom is quite the same as a bag that's going to be displayed in public for the sole purpose of letting others know how much you've spent on it.
That said, £200-ish is a hard limit for me on razors, beyond that I don't believe that the expense is justified. I blame the success of Wolfman for this one, £200 used to be about the going rate for a top-end stainless razor until Wolfman razors came out. James built and polished these with a level of attention to detail that bordered on OCD and they were really well designed, hence they sold like hot cakes and he literally could not make them fast enough. Supply and demand being a thing James then raised his prices and, as far as I know, he still can't make them fast enough. This led to inflated second-hand prices as people paid well over retail price because it skipped the waiting list. Other manufacturers then looked at the price of Wolfman razors and decided that that was what they were going to ask for theirs too and it all got a bit silly.
I'm pretty certain that the reason the Raw was such a flash in the pan was that it was way over-priced. The likes of Karve, Blackland and Timeless that kept their prices reasonable are still going strong because people actually buy their products.

Agreed, however, posting about high-end razors could be interpreted as flashing them about in a (kind of) public place. Conspicuous consumerism does raise my eyebrows a little, but people have always flashed their bags, shoes, wigs, buckles, lace, finery, in public. I'm not much bothered by it and sometimes do enjoy looking at well-dressed, fashionable people out in public.

Stupid words like ‘uptick’. What’s wrong with ‘increase’?

I am thinking about the word Pet too much.
A near neighbour has bought a Rottweiler, an adult male dog. He has never owned a dog before. There are nine in the house including three under 6 years old.
So my pet peeve is people who buy the wrong dog without any thought to the consequences.

That's the one. I am genuinely baffled why people do that.
