  • I add about 100 to 150ml of white vinegar to the water before starting the final rinse cycle. The slight vinegar smell remaining once the machine is done is completely gone by the time my clothes finish air drying.

    Laundry soap/detergent is basic and vinegar is acidic, so if added together will just react and make your detergent less affective. Adding the vinegar to the rinse cycle works as it helps remove more of the dirty soap suds from the items being washed.

    And how long before it’s decided that I’m being rude for not making eye contact or replying to a question wrong, and then my appearence/behaviour starts being scrutinised whenever they see me?

    All my little otherwise mostly unoffensive differences then start piling up and adding to any negative feelings these people have about me, and then one day it’s decided that I’m just ‘too spacy’ so I must be ‘on drugs’ or my flinching at loud noises means I’m ‘proper crazy’.

    Then if I keep going to this shop and I ignore the random smirking/whispering from behind the counter and/or the security guard following half a step behind me, and I write off any hostile or weird behaviour towards me as these people obviously just having a bad day as surely it can’t be my fault, I don’t even recognise them etc, … you can guess how charming people start being then, I’m sure.

    If you’re outwardly likable, relatable and able to be all chatty smiles and eye contact with everyone you meet, people are going to be much nicer to you because they’ve assumed much nicer things about you.

    Due to this, you probably only have pleasant connotations with frequenting places where you are noticed by for your habits by strangers.

    Shopping online is much less stressful imo. And if I want a fresh cheesecake, I make it myself.
