It happens every time there is a cook out and I want to get a bun for the brat and/or the burger, and the wrapper is closed with a twist tie. Do I untie clockwise or counter clockwise? There is no right or wrong answer and it is always a 50/50 proposition, for the twist tie is torqued down tight.
My understanding is that in the UK, twist ties HAVE to be turned counter-clockwise to loosen them. Of course, this is America where you are still allowed to be against Islamic pedophile groomers, so there is no law regarding twist tie directions (or even a toilet paper roll OVER/not under Amendment).
The story has a happy ending, as I was ultimately successful in extricating the hot dog bun after much angst. Hope your cookout was as fruitful.
Interesting. That took less than 24 hours for them to take down that link. About as fast as Tommy's "trial". I'm going to leave the access denied there just to remind myself what jackboot thugs we are dealing with.
ReplyDeleteFree Tommy! Yes. The UK has gone stark raving mad! Protecting the rights of the vermin hordes is all they're about anymore.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, enjoyed the rant about the pet peeve. I feel your wrist pain. I share your
angst, but it's a small price to pay for the freedom to twist ties any way we want. f
