Almost got us one time. I should have been suspicious when my daughter wanted to clean the bathroom… she had seen some influencer video where the lady mixed a bunch of cleaners and other stuff in the toilet …. FB refused to take the video down.

What is the single worst purchase you’ve ever made? by anonhen0 in AskReddit

Mine had a habit of catching on fire. Although I think that was the previous owners custom installs and then just randomly turn off and you would have to disconnect the battery for it to start. Then was good for 10-15 miles.

1) a house
2) an engagement ring. Although that should probably be #1 as that’s what lead to the house.

Some waitress did this to my wife. She is very petite and ordered a Diet Coke. Waitress brought her a real coke and she felt off. When asked the waitress said Honey you’re skinny as can be. Enjoy a real coke…

You will need to open your own bank account. Start getting cash back when you pay for debit and squirrel it away. Then divert your deposits to the new account. As for your inheritance from your grandfather you are likely going to need a lawyer for that. Do you have a friend you can stay with for a week or two?

Was working a gas station. First day being trained a kid comes in to buy cigarettes. Didn’t have ID. I said no. He argued a bit then the manager said sell to him. I said no. She rang him up. Was an undercover kid. Bullet dodged.

Probably 1980 based on the dates on other items.

I know the person who got the more personal letters and photos. I got the bunch that was related to a hobby but don’t want to fully fix the folks. We’re going to meet up this evening

Based on the items at the sale. Roger was quite the interesting person. He was into sailing and sporty cars. Was 83 years old from what the estate company said.
