Are all people from China THIS disrespectful of other people's property??

I always heard that farting in public in China was totally fine, but coughing and sneezing in public are considered very rude.

Bought a brand new stainless steel Whirlpool Gold Series refrigerator. It came wrapped in a blue film to protect it in shipment. When we removed the film it left a glue residue on the steel. My wife used the scrubbing side of the sponge to remove the glue. Our 1 hour old fridge is already ruined.

Practical, albeit disgusting. No one ever caught the flu from a fart.

I have a pretty serious problem... the 1er's suspension is too stiff and putting a coffee cup in the cup holder will undoubtedly spill the coffee at first bump / turn. In return, I have to drive with a coffee cup in my hand all of the time.

So what to do? Not fill the .99 7-eleven coffee cup completely (and get my money's worth) or just hold my coffee??

Toothpaste. We used it on the windows in our new sunroom. Some idiot at the factory thought they really needed to seriously glue the stickers on the windows. Toothpaste worked wonders.

Your first problem is 7-eleven coffee. Yuck. But that said, will they let you bring in your own mug? If so, get one with a closeable lid.

I’ll try the toothpaste method. Someone also mentioned a very fine grit paper and wet sand it. The thought of wet sanding stainless steel is horrifying. Then again how much worse can I possibly make it?

Which ever method you choose just make sure to go with the grain of the metal or you'll make it worse... Good luck

They probably will but hence opens up another first world problem... you have to clean the mug daily*.

*monthly

Interestingly enough the guy that recommended the wet sanding method owns a 1981 Delorean. He said he wet sands the car all the time and it looks great

I am sure that at one point in your job; you've received a plaque, certificate or some other award that can go over that blemish.

Actually I was thinking about hanging the $1.5K receipt over it.

Tell you what. That little mistake she did bought me a free pass to do anything I want.

Wet sanding works if done right. I made the mistake of cleaning my viking stove with a scotch brite pad once. Sanded it with 1000 grit, then 2000 and finally hit it with some Brass-o and it was good as new, better than when I started actually.
