inI paid $12 for a used DVD of The Room at a flea market in Tulsa, and it broke my movie night curse
My roommate and I went through the exact same thing, like we'd spend 45 minutes scrolling and then just watch The Office again for the tenth time. What finally worked for us was a rule that whoever says "I don't care" loses the right to complain, and it cut the fighting way down. We also keep a shoebox of cheap DVDs by the tv now, mostly stuff from Goodwill, and pulling one out blind is honestly more fun than picking. $2 a movie is a steal, I'm kinda jealous of that Tulsa bin.

inThe 'hide your kids' guy from Alabama never saw a dime, and that's not even the worst part
That whole story still bugs me whenever it comes up. Antoine got a few hundred bucks from the song and the producer kept the rest, and the guy was literally back to work while strangers were still making jokes with his face on them. Same thing happened to the "Charlie bit my finger" family, they sold the video years later for around $760k, but before that people were pulling in ad money off their kids without them seeing a cent. Going viral and getting paid are just two different things, and the money usually ends up with whoever was smart enough to grab the rights first. Nobody hands you a check just for being seen a lot. Feels bad for him, honestly.

That torque wrench I borrowed failed on a head bolt, never again
Yikes, that's why I never trust borrowed tools for head bolts.
