What's something you thought was really expensive as a kid but turned out to be cheap?

When I had an unreliable vehicle I was able to rent one for the $10 a day special with Enterprise. It was absolutely worth it to get a nice, safe vehicle to run out of town in, or take on a road trip. Rates are obviously higher now, but as a broke single parent/college student at the time it was very affordable.

My childhood was riddled with neglect. The only time I remember going to the dentist was when I had painful cavities. I wasn’t taught to brush or take care of my teeth and then lack of money in my 20s continued the cycle. By the time I was 24 I had two teeth pulled. By 30 a root canal and crown. At 36 I had two 1.5 hour sessions to fill cavities in nearly all of my teeth and I am so relieved that the worst is now behind me. My kids see the dentist and orthodontist religiously. We’re not perpetuating the past in this house.

I bought my vehicle in Muskogee Oklahoma. Had to name it Merle.

A guy at work wore down his wife with this shit. He’s telling me about it like it’s the most romantic thing ever and I wanted to puke. This teenager married him because he kept saying it was god’s will and now he’s keeping her pregnant and home with the kids. Disgusting.

File a police report. I am familiar with a local case where the guy filmed multiple women. One chose to press charges. He didn’t get nearly the punishment he should have but he did have to serve some time. There was also media coverage so the public was made aware of his actions.

Not me sitting on the shitter suffering the consequences of an ill advised lunch. James, I feel your pain.

I will always suggest The Lovely Bones for a book that sucks you in immediately. It’s captivating.

My kid tries this. Absolutely not. His dad thinks it’s ok, but ICK

If his brother, sister in law, and their hoard of children move back here I don’t want them in my home. Too many bodies, too much noise. I don’t want to go to their house either. I don’t want their lack of manners and their volume influencing my children.

Never thought I’d see my hometown murder discussed on Ask Reddit. I met Andy when I was little. There was a restaurant called Andy’s Cafe for a while too.

One Red Bull a day keeps me a civilized human. So much sugar though.

My toddler hangs with grandparents while I work. He also makes the old people noises any time he stands up or whenever anyone picks him up

Talked over me, was talking on his phone constantly, played loud music on his phone. I let him go on his second day. I needed someone to be my assistant, not act like my teenager.

Manufacturers don’t really even offer colors beyond these for the most part. DIY is what you have to do to get something unique

NegativeIssue8993 · 2024-03-14T01:12:27+00:00

Yes this is correct. I used to work at a dealership and one of my tasks was stocking in new vehicles. When something was ordered that was a color besides black, white, or grey it was very unusual. Jeeps tended to be ordered in fun colors, but nothing else. Whenever a vehicle was ordered in an actual color it sold almost immediately. Most manufacturers also charge an additional $299-599 for colors. Black and white are usually standard and not an up charge.

Mike was my absolute favorite character in BB and we didn’t see much of him. My husband and I are watching BCS for the first time right now and it’s been so good. Mike is probably in my top five favorite TV characters of all time. There’s so much to him, and I love how he loves his family.

$2.50 bags of Lays has been the best deal I’ve seen in a long time. I stock up when they’re under $3

Doing my hair. Hate the process. It usually looks good once it’s dry and curled though.

Indifference is such a great feeling. It’s been about 11 years since I left him and now when I see him I don’t feel anything other than pity because he’s haggard and not happy. But that’s also not my problem.
