Reply to comment by ForceOfAHorse in LPT: If you are in a place where you don't want to sneeze, but you feel your nose start to tickle, pinch the area just above your nostrils. This should reduce the feeling of wanting to sneeze. You don't have to fully close the nostrils even. by RegalDreamer

can’t recommend this enough, having been in a similar situation as OP — you never know when you’ll lose your phone, have to change a phone number or get a new sim card.

yeah isn’t it crazy how quick it goes from feeling coddled and annoyed, to distraught and longing for them? aging is wild.

If you raise tip of your nose the urge to sneeze just goes away. That's what this tip is about, not pinch your nose shut and release the kraken exploding your eardrums.

I feel this. I deleted a voicemail from my dad a long, long time ago. After he died I tried to literally even just call his number to hear his voicemail greeting- his asshole brother picked up the phone instead.
Don’t delete voicemails

So is pissing, but you don't (hopefully) just wipe out your dick in the bus if you want to pee.

Leave it outside for three days.

I've always been a weirdo and i embrace it all the time. I'm more of a nerd and have knowledge on way too many things, so that makes me weird. I consider it a good weird.

Talcum powder or cornstarch will absorb oils from leather. Leave some overnight on the stain. If the oil is still in the leather, I suggest throwing it away. If your bag is faux leather, try lighter fluid instead. Probably won't remove the smell? I'm not sure. Check the composition personally & Google accordingly.
Leather soaks in oil like a mf so it may not be salvageable. Also depends on the oil.

thank you so much. i just wrote this on my lunch break because i randomly decided to play them. i think i secretly wanted to get emotional, because i feel better now. i feel like i can listen to them more now without crying so much.
i’m glad to you feel the same feelings about your mom. not everyone is as lucky to have such a wonderful parent. thanks for sharing ❤️

You could try adding in something to soak up the oil. Maybe stuff it with paper towels. If you are desperate you could try bicarbonate of soda, talcum powder or activated charcoal perhaps. But then your next post would be how to get a load of bicarbonate of soda out of your bag

My heart goes out to you stranger. Ive been there with both parents. I still have a voice mail of my mom wishing me a happy birthday while she was sick. Nothing lasts forever but its been nice to hear her voice. I don’t play it that often because its not easy to listen without emotions welling up.

Yeeeah.. but also don't be inconsiderate to others about your behaviour. What you percive as a weirdness may just be annoying to others and making them uncomfortable.

Again, thats true sometimes but people suck. I'm gonna be my weird self and if it makes people uncomfortable thats on them.
