Personal hygiene does seem lacking these days. Our last intake of PhD students a couple of years ago had two who reek. This was never an issue before. Wtf is wrong with people these days? There would be the occasional stinker, but two at the same time? Sadly, both work on the same floor as me. So some days, it's a double stench tag-team if you walk the wrong corridors or take the lift at the wrong time. 🤢 BO smell or slightly cheesy? |

Full on bo. The other one is bo and possibly not airing clothes properly (along with wearing the same stuff all the time).
We had to make that one was their labcoat after a year of use as it was brown. If they hung it by a door in one of the ancillary labs it emitted it's own stench having absorbed so much stink.
One year to go, but i guarantee this motherfucker's going to need a good years extension at this rate. Fml. 😢

The stinkiest one has myriad issues with health & mental state and works in our main lab.
It's horrific. Bosses have had to have a word about personal hygiene and everything.
Doesn't help.

I know nothing about about the science industry but it strikes me a bit odd that you can get away with filthy lab coats in a lab.

Cheese? As if I'd be caught dead eating any variety of that shit. My own fault for clearing my sinuses before travelling I suppose. Not eating, cultivating… |

Daddy Long Legs are the worst of all creatures on this planet. Pathetic, annoying and pointless. Their existence somehow manages to disprove both the existence of God and the theory of evolution. No got would create something so shit and nothing would ever evolve to be that. I hate everything about them. One was flapping its ridiculous self around the bedroom last night, unable to just fly or remain still. Just endless bouncing into the wall with that irritating slapping sound they make, waiting for the sweet relief of death by toilet paper.

Maybe it’s all about reincarnation and daddy long legs were horrific people in their last life, not washing their lab coats frequently enough.

This may be a cultural thing as in some countries ‘Daddy Long Legs’ does actually mean a type of spider I believe, but in the UK it’s a colloquialism for a Crane Fly, and it ain’t spinning any webs. I did watch one get caught in a web in our bathroom when I was drying out of the shower, it was proper grim. Tore itself to bits before the spider descended to bite it and then it continues alive for a good minute afterwards. Nature is f*cking weird!
Edit - got my flies mixed up

I've always known the spiders as daddy longlegs. They eat other spiders and my missus doesn't seem to be at all afraid of them, so they get a free pass in this house.
The flying things are just plain pointless. They don't deserve to be associated with such a cool name.

Harvestmen aren't spiders, they're a different type of arachnid.

I think it might have just been a local thing - maybe do local it was just within my house - but growing up we called the flying long-leg bastards "skinny witches"
The spiders (or whatever they are) would be daddy longlegs, but yeah I've heard crane flies referred to as daddy long legs.
Annoying fuckers though.
Worth mentioning the often regurgitated idea they have really potent venom but no teeth is a load of bollocks and a total myth.

The clip with the ear is like a live action Ori escape sequence
Wonder if he told him it was a spider before he got it out
How do you feel about spiders?
Hate them. Why?
Now don't freak out...

Horrible local Facebook community group.
Somebody is offering home-reared (I dunno the term) honey. ‘If you would be interested please PM me so I can gauge demand and keep orders organised’.
Then of course the comments section is about 6 miles long with people saying ‘yes please I’d be interested’ all the while the identical comments above have all had the same please message me response every time and nobody spots it.
Facebook really is computing for the technologically illiterate. And quite often just the illiterate.

So there’s been an update on the DIY honey from the local community group. It’s been made apparently with ‘Lancashire Black Bees’, with labels printed marked ‘Black Hives Matter’.
This isn’t fucking OK is it?!

From the level of english used on our local page, I think the vast majority must be unschooled, or have been hit repeatedly on the head by something to cause massive trauma. It's infuriating.

Re-reading this reminds me that the one that sits in the bay behind me in the cubicle farm removed their shoes once in summer. I had to nip round sharpish asking them to put them back on and not take them off again. Gas masks o'clock. Plus we can often just smell them anyway. Hurrah for students. |
