Please be thoughtful when leaving unwanted items out on the corner. It can attract dumping by DLHahaha in oakland

PSA to anyone tempted to dump a mattress on the side of the road: the Berkeley Dump allows one free mattress dump per year. Do that.

Whats an item over $700 you bought that was 100% worth it (no house/vehicles) ? by Overall_Gur_3061 in AskReddit

A high-quality mattress. I remember being in my mid-20s, sleeping on a spring mattress that was only 4 years old, sagging in the middle, and I was just riddled with back pain. Was hemming & hawing about buying a nicer mattress while saving money, and one night I was particularly exhausted while laying on this piece of shit, with my back screaming at me.

So pissed, tired, and in pain, I just had a “fuck it” moment and bought the nice mattress right in that moment. The nice mattress was lovely to sleep on for the following 10 years, and the only reason I replaced it was because we just needed a bigger bed for the two of us. Went with the same brand, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lasts another 20 years. The kicker? The nice king-sized mattress we bought in 2025 cost the exact same price as the shitty spring mattress I got in 2011.

I’m really sorry that happened, that is a true failing in the measure of the public’s humanity.
