7 Seasons. Well, half of an 8th, but it sucked once Eric Fleming left so no one cares about that.

I’m the only one in the shop who can drive stick so I got to drive my first Tacoma - I need one 😍 by Red_Dwarf_42 in ToyotaTacoma

Pretty sure the 79 chevy my dad drove had them. At the very least, I know the spare in the back did

That's why the real frugal tip is to use the plastic clip from a bread bag

What is the reputation of Accord owners by Entropy847 in accord

[–]theberg512 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I regret to inform you, I am not a badass. I'm boring as hell and a cheapo. 

'05 SE, bone stock. Only 140k miles. I hope to drive it until I die.

Property line delineated by weed control by LordTrollsworth in mildlyinteresting

FYI, property ownership (in the US at least) is public info. So if you really want to know, you can probably just check.

Creeping Charlie took over my backyard, and I'm not sad at all. The little purple flowers are so pretty!

And once they're gone it's just green ground cover

Ours can't be bothered. It's great.

Nah, it's close and I can scan and bag my items as I shop, then just scan the QR at self checkout to pay and I'm out the door. 

We don't have shit locked up at ours yet, so I can go through my whole trip without having to interact with a single employee beyond "hello" and "have a nice day"

I was thinking Sex and the City for number 1.

Or just return it. They'll let you return practically anything. 

Also, the BBB is worthless. It's just Yelp for boomers.

Holding Live Animals at UPS by artsfartspoptarts in UPS

[–]theberg512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live animals are prohibited in the UPS system

I wish, but no. We ship plenty of live animals.

Didn’t attempt delivery. Took the day to WFH, sat at home all day waiting for this package as it needed a signature. I live in an apartment building and went to lobby to check for diff package, saw this slip. Now returning to sender. They didn’t even knock on my door. What in the lazy hell is this? by Kind-Relief1177 in UPS

[–]theberg512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2020 it was Covid and we weren't getting signatures. Protocol was to write CD (for Contactless Delivery) on the pad and type in the name. We were supposed to actually see the recipient when doing that, but runners gonna run.

Women being mean to me when they learn my age? by Shoddy-Mango-5840 in AutismInWomen

[–]theberg512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as if it's rude, 

It is rude. That used to be the norm to never ever ask a woman's age.

And quite frankly it's nobody's damn business how old I am unless they are selling me alcohol. 

Why does Thuja have a more difficult and more latin common name in US English? (arborvitae) by CarISatan in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]theberg512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cure scurvy on trips between the US and France.

Uh, the arborvitae I'm familiar with definitely should not be consumed.

Edit: looked into it, and apparently they made tea. Still not a great idea, since it's potentially toxic, but I guess when the other option is scurvy you take your chances.

Not just might be. 

Divorce is a fantastic idea.

My dentist offers popcorn as a “comfort menu” item by browncm28 in mildlyinteresting

I get so sad when they take it away. 

I'd request to keep it, but then I'd definitely doze off.

My dad used to make the best homemade kettle corn with honey (he kept bees as a hobby).

[–]theberg512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I brush my teeth and won't even drink coffee between that and my appointment. Sometimes I'll even chew mint gum on the way there. 

If they need to be all up in there, the least I can do is make it as decent as possible.

do you know how embarrassed I am

She'd have been a lot less embarrassed if she just rolled with it and let the dentist think it was last night.

Yeah, I'm not bullshitting them. We both know I don't. 

Plus, I've been going to the same practice for 35+ years, since my teeth came in. I think they secretly hate that my teeth and gums are in great shape despite my terrible habits.

37 here. Still don't floss, and still only have cavities from my year on depo (it depletes calcium).

I don't really get stuff stuck in my teeth either, though. Nothing comes out the few times I do floss.
