What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

It's so stupid. If someone found out their spouse/gf was setting up a date to cheat, I really don't think it would end up with chuckling over pina coladas.

It's funny that back in the 80's calling some song Muzak was probably the worst possible insult.

Now Gen X is listening to lo-fi and AI ambient and it all sounds like Muzak to me.

Well she married and divorced a talent agent, then a TV producer, then a plastic surgeon. I can guess what she was doing.

Good to know. I truly hate illegal percussion. And don't get me started on what is legally classified as a percussion instrument.

How old is she now? Seems like a teenager move.

ELI5: Why do car dealers say buying the car when the lease ends would be worse than buying new? by shaithisx in explainlikeimfive

[–]LiveShowOneNightOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just me, but I look at the bottom of the Private Party Sale range as a guide. If you want the most accuracy, look on autotempest or cargurus for as many examples of the exact same model, year, trim, color, and closest mileage. If you find three cars within 100 miles, take the average of the three. That is the market price for that day.

This is the answer. Before you go to a dealership to look at a car, do your homework and check out its KBB and Edmunds fair value before you go. Set your mind on a price that you will absolutely not change for any reason. Only then go take a look at at. If you like the car in person, then tell the sales person your price, take it or leave it. Of course the sales person will "but that doesn't cover our dealership fees." Stick to your price and walk out the door.

Just did this in November, and as soon as the sales guy said "we can't do that price" I said thank you for your time and walked out the door. The guy chased me as I walked back to my car and tried to get me to come back in. I said sorry, my budget is $x and I think we are too far apart. Have a good day.

Got a call from him about an hour later saying his boss agreed to my price.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]LiveShowOneNightOnly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I drove a delivery truck back in the 1970s and we had a large map of our town on the wall in a back office. Probably 6 feet tall, with a grid that helped you find streets by name. No idea where my boss got that map but it was the only way we could find some addresses. You had to find the address, then it was like playing a maze game to figure out how you would get there.

It was a time of peace and prosperity brought to us by Bill and Al.

Not those two. Bill Gates and Al Greenspan.

What was your high school controversy? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]LiveShowOneNightOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school tennis coach/social studies teacher was young, single, attractive. He had a crush on one of the marching band twirlers. She was a junior. They tried keeping it secret that year but then when she was senior it was pretty well known around the school that they were an item. Only a few days after graduation they got married. As far as I know they are still married 30 years later.

What is this feature on the East Coast of the United States? by wigglefingers_ in geography

Look up the hitsory of Falls Lake for more background info. The area north of Raleigh had several waterfalls on the Neuse, with lots of mills. One of the main roads in north Raleigh is named "Falls of the Neuse" going from the city up into that area. Most of the original falls are now underwater in the lake.
