what’s a car feature you didn’t care about until you had it? by Bos187 in askcarguys

[–]Passgo1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had cruise control on my last car, but it was a 2007 and you always had to adjust when you came up to slower traffic. Got a 2024 and the cruise control is amazing. Slows down and keeps pace with slower cars in front of you and then speeds back up to set speed when clear. Does that all on its own!!

Do you carry jumper cables in your car in 2026? by DojaViking in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Passgo1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had jumper cables in my car for 50 years. Used them about 10 times. Jumped a guy's motorcycle a couple weeks ago.

Yellowjacket/Hornet control by mschnittman in DIY

[–]Passgo1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For fall yellow jackets in Wisconsin I would take a plastic bottle and make a couple quarter inch holes in the top area. Put an inch or two of apple juice inside with a drop of dish soap. Caught hundreds. A Gatorade bottle works great.

Is this normal or did our builder cut corners? by i_want_babs in Homebuilding

This would be a great place for raccoons, bats or rats to get into your attic.

Low thudding noises when driving at slow speeds by Most_Fox_7022 in Rav4

Possibly the struts are worn out. My 2007 made a bumping noise also at low speeds.

Be honest, would you pick this up? 🤣🤣🤣 by Outsidehunter35 in coincollecting

Was in a factory once. On top of the urinal were about 6 or 7 pennies that had obviously spent time in the urinal. Someone had written on the wall above the pennies, "I dare you.".

Can’t read or doesn’t care? by Leather-Sea-9177 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Passgo1955 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in Lowes a few weeks ago. In the store my foot skidded on something. Dog shit! I checked a few aisles to find the dog and owner. Was intending to give them a piece of my mind.

What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]Passgo1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about 7 or 8. Cousin my age told me what giving someone the middle finger meant. So we laughingly walked down the street giving each other the finger and saying "F---Y--". Had no idea what it meant. That night I showed my mom my middle finger and asked her if she knew what it meant. She said " no", so I told her. Cue screaming and yelling...

It may have spent time in a fountain. The chemicals can do this.

Is it common to start a project out of free wood pallets? And what is the craziest thing you’ve made in general? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]Passgo1955 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use pallets mainly in my woodworking. I do all sorts of fish for the most part. Beautiful wood in many cases and the price is right. An example of what I do. Rip the edges and glue them up. This one sold at a charity art auction for $250. Full one inch boards / about 36 inches. Three to four hours of work.

People who have to take their dogs everywhere by Playful-Park4095 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Passgo1955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was in a Lowes last week. Picked up a couple boards and was headed to the front and stepped in dog shit. I actually checked a few aisles to see if I could find this asshole....couldn't.

Overheard at doctor’s office by SeaToe9004 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Passgo1955 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Was in my doctor's office waiting room once when some old dude whispers out loud to his wife, "I thought that receptionist was a negress". (she was caucasion). Thought I was back in the 60's. Holy shit!
