THE WORST PART ABOUT SPICY FOOD IS THAT IT BACKFIRES.
Hot foods burn coming and going, I don't understand the attraction. Guys at work would concoct hot pepper relish and bring it to work with soft rolls. At coffee break the group would see if this stuff topped the previous entries. Middle-aged men standing around with tears streaming down their faces proclaiming how good this is. I thought it was stupid.
One guy said the night before he was chopping peppers and making relish, then washed up and went to bed. He was feeling frisky when his wife asked if he'd washed his hands well because she felt "warmth". He freaked and started to get up to scrub his hands when she said wait a minute, lets see where it goes.
When I first started gardening, I gave a bunch of jalapeno peppers to a friend of my husband's. The friend chopped some up, and went to the toilet. He washed his hands after peeing (standing up), but it was too late then. He suffered for days, and the rest of us learned a lesson.
NYC real estate is always pretty amusing. They say, "Oh, the median home in the neighborhood is $1.2mm" and don't mention that for the money you get a 600 square foot studio, $1000/month condo fee, and $1000/month taxes. I understand that everyone makes a lot more dosh there, but that's just eye watering.
Regarding the 'going' of coming and going, try putting your toilet paper in the freezer first.
