I was at Goodwill a while back and bought what I thought was 7th Generation detergent for cheap, but it turned out it was Fabric Softener.

So I had to go get actual detergent, which was fine. But now I have this fabric softener. So my clothes are all super-comfy and smell really nice, which I'm not used to.

I think I may have to be one of those people who buy fabric softener on purpose.

Fucking Amazon is one whole fucking day late with my fucking brake rotors. Now I shan't be able to have them installed before the weekend arrives.

Tried to cash in my Best Buy points for a $5 certificate to use on my Mario Odyssey preorder only to find that Best Buy issued it a month ago automatically upon my reaching the points threshold and it expired three days ago. I'm out the points and I can get the $5 back. fml.

Last quarter of the year is coming up soon and we are scrambling to fulfill required CPE at work. So I will have to login to earn CPE via online classes/webinars and make a trip or two to earn CPE via live class/seminar.

Boring stuffs but are required for the job.

I read on USAToday that orange juice could go up at least $2 higher per gallon from the destruction of oranges from the storms. Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! <sad panda>

When you buy a $1700 mattress, the furniture company will do free delivery and removal of the old mattress. But if you have a boxspring to get rid of, you're on your own.

I'd like to complaining about my crashing database servers at work taking down the web site I support, but that isn't really a first world problem. Most first world countries stopped using Sybase a long time ago. Fucking Sybase.

Another not-really-a-first-world-problem problem. Somehow I managed to trip over a chainsaw while walking around in my bare feet. Even when not in motion those things are sharp. So now I have a nice slash on my big toe bracketed by 2 punctures and it has finally stopped bleeding. What a mess. Bandaids didn't do the job. I had to break out the sponge gauze and surgical tape.

I bought suture terrestrial from a prepper site Amazon has full cartons if you have extra money laying around

Yeah, but you still saved $300 on a brake job.
My rotors and pads if I'm stupid enough to order from dodge are 1400 dollars an axle even " discount" are 350 for a kit but have better cooling and a uniquely 1st world problem you can eat all 4 tires and the brakes spending a day on the track

Came home with Five Guys in a paper bag. As I was walking to my door, out came half my fries and the burger as the grease soaked through the bottom-heavy bag. Thankfully the burger was still wrapped. Win. And no, 5-second rule is a myth.

And you should know I thought of you guys and this thread the instant it happened.

Boss was gonna buy lunch today, but he uses a stupid card for everything, and of course it had issues with the machine. Since I use cash only, guess who bought lunch...

Skipped Tim Horton's today on my way to work. It seems to be sporadic but some times it's just ridiculously busy and slow so had to pass and resort to Keurig coffee.
