Same!

I don’t need it to be dark to stub my toe. I manage to hit my toes on things just fine in a well-lit room.

My mistake. I skimmed the vin decoding explanation and thought it was saying something different than it actually was. Now for some reason I can’t remove my comment even though it’s not yet approved.

I don’t think it’s a Type R at all. GS-Rs are also DC2s, despite what the article claims (I have a DC2 GS-R in my garage right now), which is what I’m thinking the car in the article is.

I cut mine into a ton of little pieces so the letters and numbers are broken and separated. I also like to cut a rounded rectangle around the card company’s logo so my kids can have a play credit card for their dolls.

Most would save themselves and their families first.

If people are outraged by their vehicles prioritizing themselves over others, maybe the automakers should give the user to control the prioritization. Like a drag and drop list where you put the most important group of people to save at the top. Then the car can…

I got nailed with your last bullet point once. I bought a really nice slim personal CD player. Bought the extended warranty (3 or 4 years, IIRC). The player broke a few months shy of the warranty’s expiration. They held my unit for the full 60 days that they were allowed to before telling me they couldn’t fix it.

When…

I knew I couldn't be the only person who noticed that. Was surprised I had to show pending posts to see a comment about it.

Am I the only one who doesn't reuse towels without washing them? No matter how clean I think I am, I still don't want to wipe my face with the towel that I wiped my butt crack with the day before.

We found that with my significant other's income vs. child care costs, it didn't make sense for her to keep working. I feel very lucky that her staying home is not only an option for us, but it makes more sense for us financially. There's also the added benefit of knowing exactly how my kids are being raised and…

I've had friends tell a restaurant it was my birthday when I was in the bathroom before (when it wasn't my birthday). It's awkward, but at least it comes with free dessert.

The '03 manual transmissions were problematic, too. I got my '03 CE with a busted tranny for $500 (with new Winter tires on it!). Replaced the transmission and it's been treating me pretty well for the past 3 years as my daily-driving, grocery-getting family car. Since then I've only had to replace both rear hubs for…

I had a dentist like that growing up. Not quite to that extreme, but she would always find cavities and call me a liar when I told her I floss daily (which I did and do). I stopped going to the dentist for ~5 years and when I finally needed to go again to get checked out (I was sucker-punched by a drunk guy for…

If it's your own house, have the loose socket(s) replaced (or replace it yourself if you've got the know-how). If it's a place you rent, tell your landlord that your electrical sockets are loose and have them replace them. You shouldn't have to bend the prongs to get a tight fit (though admittedly, I DO use that trick…

Every letter in the alphabet can have its pronunciation spelled out for clarity, including the way the U.S. folks pronounce Z.
It's not actually "Z vs. Zed" it's "Zee vs. Zed".

My personal opinion is that most things sound better when Z is pronounced "Zed". The only notable example I can really think of at the moment…

In NB, Canada, $10/hr is minimum wage.

Even pre-orders aside, Canada is part of North America and we have 2 time zones farther east than the Eastern time zone. We have Atlantic (an hour ahead of Eastern) and Newfoundland (half an hour ahead of Atlantic). Our stores open at midnight for this stuff, too.

I would guess not many. Any time I ever return something, they mark the receipt as such to ensure it can't be used to return an additional identical item and staple the new receipt to it.
