Day 18 - Spray Bottles

Sorry...it's been a few days. Yesterday morning I was trying to clean the glass surface pictured below with your everyday household cleaner. As you can see I was running low but still had sufficient quantity to complete the task.
However, when I went to spray the solution nothing came out. When I pointed the nozzle towards the surface, the cleaning solution collected AWAY from the suction tube. It would be one thing if the tube went straight down and scavenged as much liquid as it could. But if you notice in the picture below, the tube is intentionally bent away from where the liquid collects.
I doubt this is any accident. How often are you cleaning your ceiling or some other surface that requires you to aim the bottle up? Basically never. This is a conspiracy. They clearly have the technology to shape the tube to a desired shape and orientation but they do not use it to benefit the consumer. Instead they force you to buy a refill so that you can use that last precious ounce but then the cycle repeats itself over and over again. Or you do the thing where you point the bottle up and spray a few times so it will suck up the liquid, and then point it where you want so you can shoot those 3 partial sprays on to your dirty surface. Either way I am fed up and am going to start manufacturing my own bottles and making my own cleaning solution.

On a more serious note, I am nearly pain-free after my epidural steroid injection!! I still have numbness and weakness in my right leg but at least it doesn't hurt. And since I am no longer on a steady diet of pain pills I can start to think clearly once again...

  1. Good to hear you are feeling better. You must have some good drugs to think that writing about cleaning shit is cute or clever.

    Let us know when EZ is back, cause this back blog dude sucks ass.
