TIL the Folgers 'Peter Comes Home' ad was actually a rewrite of a 1985 British ad for a different coffee brand, and I only found out because of a yard sale

Update: my sister said my new go-to phrase "that's a you problem" is already dead and now I can't tell if she's right

Guy at the supply house said to skip the drill on clay flues, cost me a callback

Unpopular take: the low budget remakes of the old Folgers ad are funnier than the slick ones with real actors and a full crew

Watched my neighbor dump a full kettle of boiling water on his beans and I finally get why my coffee tasted bad for 3 months

I clapped at a canceled YouTuber's comeback post for 6 months before realizing he never went away

I used to chase clear skies in my car for 3 hours, now I just shoot the moon from my driveway in Reno

Unpopular opinion: overdraft fees taught me more about my bank than the 40 page welcome packet did

TIL fixing a 6 inch gap under my gate took 2 weekends and 3 trips to the hardware store

Just realized I sent out 213 job apps in 7 weeks and got exactly 2 callbacks

Took my rescue pit mix to the PetSmart in Clearwater and 3 people asked if she was adoptable

Finally wrote 30 prompts in 30 days after a librarian in Des Moines handed me an old index card box

Serious question, did anyone else blow $90 on a "no mess" fryer basket that still splatters oil everywhere?

Used to stand in line at the bank on Saturday mornings, now I deposit checks from my couch

A guy at the Boston comic con called my 1974 Hulk 181 "a reader copy with a story" and I think about it every single day

Sounds like a pretty solid compliment honestly.

Showerthought: I called aftermarket control boards junk for a decade, then a $38 one from a guy in Fresno outlasted the OEM part

Cheap boards got better while OEMs got worse, so the brand loyalty thing cuts both ways.

Warning: GLO glow drink emailed me asking for 4 TikToks for "exposure and a $50 code"

Imagine thinking $50 covers FOUR videos AND forever rights.

A retired plumber on Central Ave talked me out of the 24 hour rooter guys, and my drain has been fine for 8 months

Did Ray mention anything about those big outfits just wanting repeat customers? I heard a guy on a podcast say the same thing, that they make more money when your line clogs again in six months.

Hit 500 crane picks this week, lost count around 300 back in 2016

Broke a thousand on my old Link-Belt last spring and didn't even notice until I went to swap out a worn cable. Funny how the guys saying you wouldn't last are the same ones who washed out after six months.
