Do You Know Who Dogs the Dog Poo?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 14, 2012

Let’s face it – picking up a bit of dog poop isn’t exactly the least humiliating thing one can do in public.

It has gotten to the point of public decency that if you’re walking your dog around town, you’re also pretty much carrying a plastic bag of poop with you.

“Hello, Fred – how’s it going?”

“Okay, Sam. Say, would love to stay and chat with you – but I’m kinda carrying around a bag of my dog’s excrement right here, and if you wouldn’t mind…”

“Oh, certainly! Go right ahead, I didn’t mean to stop you on your poop transport.”

But sadly, this isn’t always the case, is it?

So you went and got yourself a Brazilian Wax.

Other than the obvious, have you noticed anything a bit more… unusual… in your daily bathroom activities since you’ve gotten it done?

When was the last time you got your hair cut?

So you went to the salon of your choice (or local barbershop, or Hair Cuttery, Great Clips, Supercuts, Fantastic Sam’s, or even the neighbor down the street who happens to have the only working Flowbee in the surrounding 100 miles). You sit down in the chair and settle in for your haircut.

And no matter what you pay, whether it be free, $9, $14, $45, or $150 — you all experience the same thing as you watch your Hair Professional pick up their trusty pair of scissors off their counter and approach your head with their fingers of steel…

“Did they sterilize those scissors after their last customer?”

Want to save the environment? Use a “pee rag”

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 5, 2012

Environmentalists are always looking for ways to save the planet.

Did you know that one of the biggest offenders for this earth’s destruction is our over-reliance on toilet paper?

Chances are, you’re not a “can you spare a square” kind of person. You’re more of a “let’s wrap our hand up a few layers, and then add a few more layers on for protection” sort. We know you. You’re the one who can go through one of those Ultra-Large rolls in three days, just because you can.

And then you have the gall to continually complain about the lack of flushing power in your toilet tank.

And don’t get us started on whether you use your hand to wipe or not when we’ve seen THIS hanging around your bathroom.

Hey buddy – it’s not the toilet that’s the problem. You’re throwing too much crap into the crapper.

Patrick Murphy loves dogs… but hates dog poop

Post author By web gangsta
Post date May 31, 2012

Boulder, Colorado’s Patrick Murphy is a plant ecologist.

And like many of Boulder’s proud residents, Patrick is extremely environmentally conscious. Being a plant ecologist and wanting to be environmentally-friendly sort of go hand-in-hand – but throw in the Boulder mystique, and Patrick’s really got something.

A disclaimer: Web Watch loves Boulder. We have a number of friends who live there, and we enjoy every opportunity we get to spend some time out there.

But like Austin, Texas’ reputation, Boulder is a bit quirky.

And that’s okay. We like those folks anyway. And Patrick does bring up a vitally important point that pet lovers around the world should take notice of:

How to test a toilet using the Bristol Stool Scale

Post date May 2, 2012

With all of today’s technology, one common household feature can also be one of the most frustrating.

Yes, we’re talking about the toilet. More specifically, your toilet’s flushing ability.

(Did you know that there are seven different types of poop? We’ll get back to this in a moment…)

One thing that Web Watch always makes note of when we’re staying at hotels across the country is whether the hotel’s engineering staff “get it” in terms of providing adequate flushing power for their guests. We were so impressed at the flushing prowess at one hotel that we went so far as to take a look in the tank to see what magic flushing mechanism was inside (in that case, it was a professional pressurized unit – all the more likely to not break by curious guests like ourselves).

Worse is when we have to report to the hotel’s front desk about the poor toilet situation in our room. We often wonder is it an isolated situation in our room, or is it something that’s more common across the whole floor or entire hotel. Sadly, we never do get the chance to get the answer to this.

Quick – how many of you sing while in the shower?

Oh, don’t lie. We all know that over 55% of you do it (we’ve seen the studies). Besides, MAY 15th is NATIONAL SING IN THE SHOWER DAY, so you better be prepared.

But the bigger question is, WHAT SONGS DO YOU CHOOSE TO SING IN THE SHOWER?

Well, leave it to Web Watch to compile the ULTIMATE LIST OF SHOWER SONGS for you to consider the next time you decide to pop in for a quick rinse:

Practicing proper bathroom etiquette

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 8, 2012

Web Watch was talking with a friend of ours the other day, and they had this to share about their home bathroom experience:

It’s my belief that while at home, the person who uses the toilet last is obligated to ensure that they leave the bowl clean for the next occupant. It should not be the obligation of the next in line to take care of business for the previous pooper.

They then went on a rant about how their partner doesn’t give the bowl a second look while on their way out the door, leaving any extraneous flushing and/or plunging to someone else.

This ended up turning into a huge argument between the two of them that night, which – while slightly uncomfortable to witness firsthand – will be an amusing discussion topic amongst the Web Watch circle for years to come. One side comment along the way was

I’d rather stick my own hand in the water than have someone else plunge my poo.

Which reminds us of another question regarding how much one should tip the hotel maintenance staff for having to make an after-hours plunger delivery to ones hotel room. We were told $10 was the going rate, but something tells me you could get by with just $5.

But we digress.
