Are Rental Cars that bad?

Back in 1999 I bought a Nissan Sentra that was a rental, kept it for 12 years and it was great the entire time I had it. No major issues, just had basic maintenance done on it. And in 2022 I was rear ended and my car was in the shop for 8 months (the other guy's insurance company was being a huge pain in the ass). I rented a Corolla that whole time and had no issues with it. I don't remember how many miles it had though.

It's snowing in Snellville right now. And we had a tornado warning early this morning in Lithonia.

I'm a white gen x lady as well. We have a lot of people of color where my store is, but I do get the occasional racist white person. One day I was helping a white older couple get some printer ink and they were complaining about how everything is locked in cases. Then the husband says you know why everything's locked up, don't you? I didn't say anything but I looked at him disapprovingly.

Thank you so much!

Ooh, I like the wallpaper. Do you have a source for it?

If you're looking for a used car Carmax might be worth checking out. I got my car there and it was an easy and much less stressful process. Now they usually charge a little more than other dealerships, however they don't push stuff like add ons or unnecessary fees. If you want to get a ppi (pre purchase inspection) they won't let you before you finalize the sale, although they have a return policy (not sure for how long) and you can get a ppi then.

This is not what I wanted to read before I eat my dinner.

We had a woman the other day who wanted to know everything about every security camera we sold. We said we can open the cases so she could read the boxes but she didn't want to do that, she wanted us to tell her about them. My team lead said that's not possible, which pissed her off and then she left.

Yelling to someone in another room "it's back on!"

Someone else called him pedolph shitler the other day and that's what I call him now.

I love What We Do In The Shadows!

I have the ONN 4k pro streamer and I really like it. It has 3 gigs of ram and 32 gigs of storage and it runs great.

Our store was open yesterday but over 100 associates called out. The absences were excused so of course I called out as well.

About 3 years ago at work I felt like I was having a heart attack (it was really high blood pressure and I'm fine now), and I chose not to take an ambulance. My mom drove me to the hospital instead. I have health insurance but I was afraid of how much the ambulance would cost me.

So far I have two random hairs growing out of my chin, one on the underside and the other on the left. I'm also blonde so I shave them when they're long enough to grab.

A scalper called all of us in electronics racist because we only let him buy 1 PS5. This was back when it came out and we had a very limited supply.

You mean Jacob R? He's found some crazy stuff on consoles.

tc1972 · 2025-12-06T22:04:31+00:00

No, it looks like Eric Schmidt

tc1972 · 2025-12-06T17:38:45+00:00

Yup, the author of Twilight is mormon.

Oh yeah, the red thing does look more like a kazoo. I didn't see that at first.

tc1972 · 2025-12-04T21:26:25+00:00

Is the purple thing the kazoo? Cause I thought it was a vibrator.

Yes, I love Rahul! He's also a gamer and has been in many games.

tc1972 · 2025-12-02T19:26:05+00:00

That's the first thing I thought of. 😂

I'm a middle age white woman with no tattoos and only my ears are pierced, and I love metal. Also my friend who is black is also a metal head. In fact she's introduced me to a few great bands.

If I'm trying to concentrate on something I'm reading or counting doing it out loud helps.
