Big fan of :90 instead of 1:30 on the microwave.

I always put two seconds more than it calls for because I am convinced it takes that long for the microwave to "warm" up.

One microwave my family owned had a bunch of the numbers on the keypad stop working, and I think we had 1, 3, and 9 left to work with. It worked okay otherwise, so we used it like that for a couple years before it completely broke and we had to buy a new one.

I haven't owned a microwave for over two years now and rarely miss it.

That sounds disgustingly healthy. I went without one for a few months and during that time i basically lived with my girlfriend rather than at my place. Then i bought out of that lease and actually moved in with her. All because of the lack of microwave.

The microwave in the kitchen at the place of my employment has a dial instead of keypad. Cheap jagoffs.

I didn't even know they still made that style.

Does it say Fisher Price on it?

So I went to the bachelor party at the shore this weekend. Apparently, the owner emailed the best man (who didn't make the party for other reasons) saying that the group trashed the place, things were completely a mess, and it would probably be more money than the security deposit would allow.

To preface this, I've always been EXTREMELY conscientious about these sorts of things. I kept my bedroom in tip-top shape (even made the bed), was one of the people that was aggressively telling others to throw their trash in assigned bags, was guiding people that were too drunk to go on to bed, so on and so forth. I know three others puked (one in the downstairs bathroom, another ostensibly in another bad spot because it was mentioned). I left early Sunday morning----apparently, the last ones out left doors open, because a thunderstorm blew in Sunday night and rain came in on the hardwood and carpets.

I don't know what's going to come from this, but am I wrong for bristling at the thought of having to share in an equal amount of guilt with the other idiots (all over 30, mind you), that got so stupid drunk they puked/wrecked things? Irresponsible/inconsiderate people are a pet peeve of mine, and the thought of cutting a check to pay for them hits me the wrong way. But...the wedding is in two months.

ha, I have my faults but common courtesy is not one of them. It's just sheer respect. If I am staying in someone else's house, I am most certainly not going to get so drunk that I'm destroying things and puking on walls, etc. And for people that are 30 and over this should be common sense, but it's not.

[FreeCandy44]

Its cool...nice to see manners is still around.

You're not wrong at all. I'd tell them they're the ones that wanted to act like high school idiots and they're the ones who have to man up and pay for the damages they caused. If they asked you for a nickel, I'd tell them to eff off.

[Freddy Rumsen]

WTF was the bachelor party two months before the wedding?

[shafnutz05]

Thanks hockeynut, happy you agree.

Yeah Freddy, that's the way things are nowadays. All these crazy out of town things

[PFiDC]

The last time I got that drunk was 4 years 8 months ago just before I turned 30. I couldn't fathom doing that ever again. I just wouldn't enjoy it.

[Freddy Rumsen]

Back in my day we got drunk the night before the wedding and coasted through the ceremony...

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Being hungover on my wedding day would have been terrible.

[blackjack68]

Our parties were 1 week before the wedding. Time to sober up.

Pretty much stone sober on the big day, so that would could remember as much as possible.

I photographed a wedding on the 4th of July once. The bride and groom told me ahead of time they wanted photos with the fireworks in the background. This wasn't happening until around 10pm and the ceremony was like 4 or 5. They spent the reception drinking. Hard. By the time the fireworks were ready to go off, they were both sloppy drunk to the point they could barely stand up. I took the photos anyway and they commented afterward, "Don't you have any where we look good?" I told them I didn't and reminded them they were very, very drunk. That was the last I ever heard from them. They're divorced now, less than 5 years later.

On a different wedding, between the ceremony and the time we got to the reception, the entire bridal party managed to get drunk. When we tried to do the posed group photos, several wanted to do the "shocker" including the bride.

And people ask me why I no longer shoot weddings...

One of my aunts got married not long after I graduated highschool. The guy they hired to videotape it bailed at the last minute, so they asked me to videotape it since I had just taken a video making class. Aside from the fact that I had literally no experience with this besides that class, they rented a realllllly shitty camcorder.

So shock of all shocks... most of the tape ended up being too dark to do anything with. On top of that, I kept getting yelled at by people all night because I wasn't at some place when someone randomly decided to do something.

It was a really **** experience all told.
