Bathroom Behavior III

Posted July 17th @ 3:50 pm by Mike

I admit that I am a bit of a people watcher.  Human behavior really intrigues me.  As I have discussed previously a special branch of people watching occurs in the the men’s washroom.  It really is an interesting place.  I am currently drinking 3-4 litres of water a day so I spend my fair share in […]

Mining PCBs

Posted May 24th @ 2:11 pm by Mike

I found this article about developing countries melting down computer components for gold and copper pretty interesting.  I think it is supposed to be making a point about the toxins released into the water table during this process but my me-me-me attitude has allowed me to look past the social-political issues surrounding this topic.
Here is […]

Button Pushers

Posted March 15th @ 1:53 pm by Mike

Sometimes the stupidest little things that people do, really gets my blood boiling. It is nice that I have this place to vent. Hopefully you can understand me and not label me as a wacko.
Today’s action that really bugs me are people who can not resist pressing the elevator button even though they […]

Bathroom Behavior II

Posted January 17th @ 2:54 pm by Mike

My original Bathroom Behavior post was one of the most commented on posts on the blog (which at 7 is pretty sad … readers you need to do better, don’t you find this stuff thought provoking?).  As time goes on my fascination with the way people act in the bathroom grows.  I am sure you […]

Toronto’s Garbage

Posted November 10th @ 3:23 pm by Mike

Nope not a post about the Maple Leafs (Ha! They are actually doing pretty good this year … certainly better then expected … as predicted here by me!). Nope, today’s post may turn into a recurring feature here on Pirates And Ninja …Mike Solves Your Problems!
Over the last year I have heard all […]

Inappropriate Comments

Posted November 8th @ 2:58 pm by Mike

Almost everyday I see the President of the company I work for grab the newspaper from reception and head to the washroom.  Is it inappropriate to say something like …
“Have a good dump!”
Even though I mean it I realize that this is not the right thing to say, no matter how much I want to.  […]

Bathroom Behavior

Posted August 30th @ 2:19 pm by Mike

I find some peoples actions in the washroom (specifically while using the urinal) very odd.  Is there a standard set of rules somewhere I can reference?  I need to find out if they are weird or if it is me.

Nice Mustache Ma’am

Posted August 17th @ 2:31 pm by Mike

Get ready for some ground breaking action.  Generally, I try not to take a stand on much.  I don’t really tackle the topics of politics or religion on this blog (or much in any sort of social setting).  Today, we will officially take a stance on something.
 
Originally I came across this story here on Deadspin […]

Start Working On The Ark

Posted July 12th @ 2:08 pm by Mike

Is it just me or are we (the planet) spinning off into the Sun?  Why does no one else seem to care?  I am by no means an environmentalist.  We have a gas guzzling SUV, I pick my teeth with the finest wood from the Amazon rain forest and I have been known to club […]

What Is Wrong With Me?

Posted July 6th @ 2:26 pm by Mike

I find the humour in most things.  Low brow jokes or really high level thinkers, it doesn’t matter, I will probably like it.  But as much as this doesn’t seem to be a problem, it is.  I simply don’t know where to draw the line.  I am missing the part of the brain that tells you […]
