Things People Bought and Said "Never Again"


They said with this whole "free market" thing that we should be getting good products or services at a reasonable prices, but sometimes that's just not the case. Other times, you get what you pay for. Sometimes a company is having a bad day, and other times it's just common knowledge that you won't be getting a good steak from the dollar store. Other than products, there are things people did that made them say "never again."

About 20 minutes into our agonizing conversation, she looked around and said: "Wait. You hate Pizzeria Uno." I replied: "I sure do. I'm not going to ruin a place that I like with terrible memories. I'm never entering a Pizzeria Uno again." And I haven't.

The washer started flooding my laundry room within minutes. I called them back, and they said they couldn't come back to fix it. They're just bring me a new washer in a few days. New washer comes, gets installed, and again the guy leaves (even though I asked him not to). Again, it floods my laundry room.

They charged me 300 dollars over the span of a year because, unlike normal debit cards, every time I put my pin in instead of signing, it charged me an extra dollar fifty. By the time I caught it most of the charges were past the 30 day refund policy so they gave me 10 dollars as a refund. I didn't make a fuss because I know it's not the workers fault but I did withdraw all my money immediately and switched banks. Fuck that place.

Patient Doesn't Realize MRI Technician Can Hear Them


All kinds of cringeworthy and unfortunate events seem to happen in the air-conditioned confines of the local doctor's office.

Fun and Frustration with The English Language


The English language has some confusing peculiarities to it that result in English struggles, but heck, most languages have some phonetic and semantic weirdness winding through them. And English isn't the only strange language. Here's a post defending the English language and how it's not the only weird language out there.

Text - Text - aaronsmithtumbler Older forms of English kept Latin's gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix3; tor is for men and trix is for women. So a male pilot is an aviator, a female pilot is an aviatrix. A male fighter is a gladiator, a female fighter is a gladiatrix. This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids. val-ritz YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE Source: aaronsmithtumbler

Tumblr Thread: NASA's Care for Opportunity Rover is a Feels Expedition


There was something extremely poetic about Opportunity shutting down that struck a chord with a lot of people. Workers at NASA really liked to anthropomorphize rovers, like the time they got Curiosity to sing "Happy Birthday." If we know one thing about people and their relationship with adorable robots, it's that humans can pack bond with anything, including a Roomba.

Auction Winner Won't Pay, Learns Their Lesson


Man, what compels a person to go through all the trouble to win a dang auction and then refuse to pay up? Just not cool, man. Well, this auction winner ended up learning their lesson the hard way.

Lying Choosing Beggar Gets Caught, Tries To Ride Pity Train


Good for this seller for calling out the choosing beggar on their antics right away. You just hope that the choosing beggar learned their lesson, and that they won't go and try to lie and scam their way into another free gift. They were really doomed from the start on this one too. Their account was set to private!

Text - Can i do a collab What kind of collab do you mean? And what kind of work do you do? :) I advertise stuff Like if you ship me a sample i show people so they can buy it Your account is private. Sorry but youll have to follow me But it doesn't make sense for us to send our products to someone who only has a private account. Who's gonna see it? Take a look at one product Nachricht schreiben ...
