TIL the 'extra scenes' on a streaming service aren't always deleted scenes

Happened to me on Netflix last month, watched a so called "deleted scene" that was just a 90 second trailer for another show. Felt like I got tricked into watching an ad dressed up as bonus content, honestly made me double check every extras tab since then.

Spent $900 on a borescope, ended up saving a whole engine tear-down

Yeah, but my cheap one worked fine for a tenth of that price.

Shoutout to the bloke who filmed his pet magpie stealing his thongs at Bondi, that video saved my Monday

Wait, you said "saved my Monday" but then said you watched it on Tuesday? That's a HUGE difference mate, that's like a whole other day. Unless you meant it saved your week and Monday was just a write-off. Honestly I rewatched it like 40 times myself, the bit where the magpie does that little hop with the thong in its beak is pure gold. That bird is a straight up criminal mastermind, better than half the stuff on Netflix right now. I showed it to my missus and she didn't even crack a smile, so I think you and Dave are the only sane people left.

The drain snake that turned me into a minor neighborhood celebrity

Three Septembers ago my washing machine flooded the laundry room so bad the water leaked into the garage and ruined a box of old tax papers. My wife posted a video of me trying to bail it out with a plastic cup and a dog bowl. Next thing I know the neighbor two doors down is knocking, asking if I can look at their dryer. Then the mailman says his brother has a sump pump that wont turn on. I fixed a toilet flange for a guy I only knew from the gas station. It never really goes away either, people still bring me their weird appliance problems at block parties.

I picked a $40 junkyard alternator over a reman and got lucky this time

Man, @the_parker really out here acting like a blown tire is a life event. I mean, yeah, a spare is smart, but that's basic stuff, not exactly a revelation.
