An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!

Edit: She followed up with: "you're enjoying yourself too much"
Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!

Damn that's a fantastic comeback. I'm saving that for later. My brain didn't go there because she hates the smell of it.

Now that's a product idea. Multi purpose 3 in one oil, Lubricates, penetrates rust, cleans. Now in strawberry flavour.

She won't be needing it anymore after you say that to her

Nah she's used to me teasing her like that. She'd just call me stupid and walk away.
