g1immer's Pet Peeves in No Particular Order
Number 1 - Setting Your Child Down Where You SHOULDN'T


Sorry, not sorry lady - you are today's featured topic. Well, I guess I should say you and your child. Today I'm starting off my series by saying I have a million and one pet peeves I'm just itching to complain about! I took the above picture yesterday while waiting for my donuts to be made at a place called Duck Donuts. I was really lucky because after I ordered my dozen cake donuts (no there were no crazy toppings - see my post on foods I hate at iHob), like four different customers arrived in line after me. There were only two ladies working behind the counter, so one at the cash register and one topping the bakery goods. Glad my timing was perfect!

My timing was also perfect to take a screenshot of this lady propping her toddler up on the counter where, as you can see if you look close enough, the employees set the donuts down for people to pick them up. Talk about YUCK. Sure, the donuts are boxed, but that is still the same counter where a baby's butt has been. You can also see in the photo that there is a perfectly well-constructed bench where the lady and her child could take a seat at. I'm not a fan of kids, so maybe a little bit of my bias is seeping through in this post, but I don't find it at all sanitary to place your child on the counter of a place where food is consumed and made.

This is not the first time I've seen this either. Sure, it isn't a super common occurance, but parents will put their kid anywhere as long as its "safe." I am not a parent and don't plan on being one soon, but I do know that I wouldn't set my kid down on a surface that is not intended for their, or my own, butt. I've seen parents plop down their youngsters on counters at Starbucks, game stores, Nordstrom's and other retail stores. To me, a retail store is just as bad as a place where food is served, but seriously, this lady deserved to have a picture of her taken for the world to see. Don't put your kid on a counter where people need to pick something up from. Find somewhere else to sit. Just don't do it.

Love,
glimmer

g1immer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 5: Crate Crash - Coasters For Part 5, we take a look at the $10 three pack of Crate coasters included in the Crash Crate. As you can see from the above image, the coasters are bright colors and stand out, especially on my black coffee table. They are also very big and could easily hold a large McDonald's cup. I will talk more in-depth about the size late. You know the drill, I will also conclude today's post explaining if I think they are worth the price point listed on the packaging strip done by numskull's marketing team no doubtingly.  Let's talk about the material these three coasters are made of. As soon as you touch one, you will know exactly what what the material is - it is rubber! Sorry, I guess you can't touch them if you haven't gotten your hands on a Crash Crate yet. The rubber is flexible and sticks nicely to firm surfaces. I've never had a c...

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 4 - Least Favorite Pokemon Cont. Gah! I'm so sorry! I said in my last post that I would post yesterday, but then I didn't! Sorry! Sorry! I had a headache yesterday and took off work. It was one of those days where I thought I had a migraine but didn't - anyways, back to Pokemon I dislike! We are on number four! This spot goes to the one and only - Castform. You may be thinking, "but Castform is so cute and changes into different types depending on the weather in-game, that's kind of cool," and I guess I can agree with that, but I can't unsee it for what it is. A crappy Pokemon. It's just no good to use in competitive scenes. It also doesn't help that once when my little sister and I were young, stupid children, we drew arms and a torso on it so its little lumps looked like its boobs. In permanent ink. On our Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire guidebook. Sorry, I just can...
