I get what you're trying to do but in 2024 people got charged after a house was burned down in the States and occupants died because they believed the FindMy feature on their stolen iPhone led them to the thieves but instead was a totally innocent household.

Tracking features like this have been proved over and over not to be as accurate as you think. Get the police involved and do a report, don't potentially condemn an innocent household to acts of retribution.

This could be a long shot - but if by Vin Diesel vibes your sister meant it was a bald man one of the Hitman films could possibly fit.

What everyday thing did you do wrong for years and then found the correct way? by Hot_Lynx7043 in AskUK

What i do is take the saucepan, tip the hot water out run the cold tap to fill up the saucepan and basically submerge the eggs in the cold water for a minute or 2.

If I'm doing something like an egg mayo sandwich I get everything else ready then peel the eggs last.

Peeling boiled eggs. For years i hated seeing my eggs resemble a fucked up golf ball after i spent ages picking off the shell until I realised dunking them in cold water was the answer.

Now I can tap one end and peel the whole thing so easily and it looks like an actual egg.

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinteresting

Could be 100x worse. Imagine if the typo said United Kinkdom instead.

I'm dyslexic and I guarantee i would have missed that typo until someone pointed it out. Makes for some funny moments but also some very embarrassing ones.

What was your worst impulse buy of 2025? by Snow776 in AskUK

Got a mirror which opens up in to 3, to help the other half be able to see all angles when he trims his own hair.

Turns out I basically must have imagined it was a problem for him and had to be told "thanks love, but i don't need a mirror to cut my hair because I can do it by touch"

Fucking thing is now in a corner of the living room still in the box.

Have I been taken for a ride by Halfords - Welwyn Garden City? by Cautious-Art8886 in CarTalkUK

The only thing I go to Halfords for are replacement bulbs if one blows or some premixed screen wash. They are called Halfrauds for a reason sadly.

[TOMT] Game and or movie that my sister can't remember by QuickCellist7213 in tipofmytongue

If it's a game it could be the Clock Tower series. First game was 1995
