    Candles are dangerous enough as it is. The wife has these stupid things in the bathroom, and she uses them to "supposedly" help remove "offending" odors. I tell her that it's a fucking bathroom. Be more concerned about mold, or hair in the drain. Don't disguise it. Clean it. Turn on the fan and open a window, but please don't impose those imitation fragrances on me.

    Maybe she's using them to light farts while she re-glazes the bathtub.

    I hope you have insurance.

    I must burn 3-4 sticks of incense in my home office every day. I love my room smelling like a 70s record store. And hell, I don't even partake.

    You want something innocuous that sucks: the TV show Ghost Adventures. My wife loves that piece of shit but it drives me nuts.

    Her snoring is killing me, but I don't react to it by playing Motorhead turned up to eleven.

    Yep, you're preachin' to the choir. Parents these days think every place should be made for families. What next, family friendly crack dens?

    Actually, I always thought that 16:9 is not as natural as 4:3. I don't buy the crap that the eye is better suited for that format

    Me and my gf have yet to own a 16/9 TV screen...

    I’ve seen incense called “Opium,” what the hell’s in it? Obviously not the real thing.

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    Scented candles. I fucking hate them. My wife lights one up everytime someone farts. Goddamned pumpkin spice smells worse than ass.
    Sounds like she's just not buying the right candles.

    Flat screen tv as opposed to the old tube.
    Old tube had it right.

    On flat screen all people come up looking like that Gimli dwarf on Lord of the Rings.

    Cocksuckers wot do sloppy seconds.
    satiated on the first ,they dont even summon the effort to fake enjoyment on the second.

    Poor second guy in line comes out of the experience feeling like shit.

    Totally unexceptable.

    No respect.
    None at all.

    My wife's a candle freak. I'm an insurance guy. I know what candles do, they start fires. lol But anyway, I'm with the OP... I don't want candles that try to smell like food. Really???... the chocolate one is so pungent it almost chokes me up, and I don't have a sensitive sense of smell, believe me. Apple-cinnamen, vanilla, ...why?...
    Fuck, now I'm pissed off!
