You have got to be kidding me

[pegkerr]

This "tip" was included with a series of e-mail tips I received from the Dollar Stretcher today:

I save time and energy with a little housecleaning trick I learned from a friend. If you've ever scrubbed the sticky goo from the top of your refrigerator, you understand how cooking oil and smoke can mix with dust and make a mess. Now I just cover the top of the fridge with a layer of clear plastic wrap. When it gets dirty, I peel it off and throw it away, and then I replace it with a new layer. Whenever I can take short cuts and eliminate even a small portion of housecleaning, I'm happy.

Ordinarily, I like the tips I get with Dollar Stretcher, but I'll have to admit that when I read this, I thought, Lady, what kind of stuff are you smoking? Do you expect me to care what the top of my refrigerator looks like? Ever???

Jeez. Get a life. One that doesn't involve worrying about the tops of refrigerators.

yah. not to mention, if you care about the top of your fridge being disgusting, don't you also care if it's covered with disgusting plastic wrap?

although my own first reaction was 'god, what a waste of resources.' it is why i have so far resisted buying a swiffer, because i refuse to clean with something that has to be thrown away. that seems to be a trend in cleaning products lately, and i find it incredibly self-absorbed. (ahem. ending rant now.)

self-absorbed?

was that pun intentional or accidental?
