Ouch! When the hoverboard hits the roomba- the machines have plotted against you Right??? I felt betrayed I think this sounds like the start of a science fiction movie. You think it's just a joke that the machines are plotting against you, but then suddenly.....

An ex once gave me flowers and I threw them in the ground and stomped on them while he looked in horror. I regret nothing. You could have donated the flowers! 😧

I’m only at the beginning of the thread... we are remodeling our bathrooms so essentially demoing bathrooms that work fine to give us something more aesthetically pleasing. I don’t necessarily think it’s *that* different than what OP was describing. I accept that it’s privileged. 🤷♀️

I recently bought a new vibrator for a not small amount of money and I don’t like it, it’s too big. That feels confession worthy Put it on the curb!

But there’s always someone who just can’t resist free shit on the curb! If I put something by the road it is gone in minutes, it is amazing how quickly it goes. This was the case when we lived in town. Including on garbage day when DH placed a stainless steel garbage can by the curb and it was picked up by a passer by within minutes - contents and all. The contents were dirty diapers and maggots because the can had been moved outside on a hot day while the floor was mopped and forgotten about. We couldn’t stomach cleaning it out. (I realize that may have been wasteful and I’m ok with that)

We’ve been hardcore social distancing and remote schooling since lockdown. I told my husband I needed a break for my birthday and today I’m going to a hotel for two nights alone. I was so excited about this initially but now I’m just scared and feeling really lonely. My anxiety is so strong.
I think I desperately needed the break a few weeks ago but now I’m just too deep in my situational depression. This sucks. I hope I enjoy it once I get there.

She literally said that they had saved the money for it and had talked about getting a new one but because her husband was taking to long she broke it so he would be forced to pull the trigger instead of just ordering it herself and saying it is done. She broke it instead of talking to her husband was what some were confused about.
*yes I am aware some were talking about donating

I don’t think it was the broken/using the parts it was purposely breaking something instead of just saying DH I ordered the dresser we have saved for She said they'd been discussing it for a while, I can see getting frustrated. I likely would have done the same, except toss it in the trash instead of reusing it. 🤷🏼♀️ Or you could have donated it and purchased the new ones like an adult, in that scenario.

So much of my furniture is hand me downs and mismatched. We just finally got a headboard for our bed last week. From the free section of fb marketplace. I want to start slowly replacing things with stuff that is "my style" but after living with everyone else's style for so long, I have no idea what my style is.

So when my boss is gone, our engineer parks in her spot and tries to boss me around all day. I do not answer to him, and I am in charge actually when she is out. But he's in his 50s and likes to belittle me and get in my business. Today, I parked in her spot. He got to work and is SO mad. I am laughing so hard. I love this so much. Fuck that guy.

IKEA particle board shit probably wouldn't even survive the trip to the donation hub. That shit is garbage, especially once it starts to break down. Nah I’ve donated plenty of it. Crafty people pick up it for a song and fix it up. It’s wasteful a lot of the time.

I purposely broke our old wardrobes last week so I could buy new ones. They were 10 years old and ikeas cheapest so they were shitty and starting to break down anyway, but yeah. So when I read this, I was thinking wardrobe like a set of clothes and could not figure out how the hell you could break clothes. Then it clicked.

He said, "I guess you are in charge today?" I said, "Yes, actually. She has always said I am when she's out." Sticking up for myself is cool. That parking spot has a lot of power, apparently. Is someone else in charge when the boss gets a ride to work and the spot is empty? It is so obnoxious. I've wanted to do it for a while just to fuck with him, but I finally pulled the trigger today. My spot is literally two spots over. Why it even matters I have no idea.

Two today. First one: The dark circles under my eyes have gotten so bad that I did my concealer this morning even though I'm still WFH. I can't stand to see them.
Second is weird and random and popped into my head last night. I don't have any pictures of my high school or college graduations, and I find myself resenting my family a little for that. I think they were taken at my high school graduation but the film didn't develop correctly, so I guess that one I can't be mad. I don't think anyone took them at my college graduation, though. It's a dumb thing about which to be annoyed, but still.

I'm laughing at the "so this is what we've decided to glom on to."
So this is what we've decided to be contrary and breezy about.
The board cycle is complete.

My confession is that I had to look up "I want all the smoke." I mean I understood what it meant by using context clues, but I have never heard that phrase before. Share with the class please! Signed, someone who had to ask her little cousins what GOAT meant. Per dictonary.com We want all the smoke is a hip-hop phrase used by a member of a group to signal they are ready to battle. It originally referred to gun battles but is now used of friendlier challenges.

But there’s always someone who just can’t resist free shit on the curb! Confession: there is furniture in my house from the literal dump. [there is a section where people put nice stuff they still don’t want anymore, it was not removed from the dumpster itself.] But none of it is ikea peticle board. No shame in that game. My husband works for a municipality and has to work at the dump once a month. He’s brought home like new snow blowers, weed whackers, etc that just needed a simple and cheap repair. It’s also a running joke that anytime there’s a metal shepherds hook thrown out he adds that to my collection and I now spend a small fortune on hanging baskets each spring.

Glad to know that we aren’t the only ones with mismatched hand me down furniture. I have an eclectic home. I’d like to have things better decorated, but it’s all functional and I don’t want to spend money to replace things. I rather spend it on food lol.

I accept that it’s privileged. 🤷♀️ I realize a couple people mentioned wastefulness, but I really think the majority of the confusion was around not just buying what you want, and having to break something to get the H on board. I need more donuts. Ah, okay. I was speaking to the people talking about wastefulness. Not talking to the H is weird; I agree.

I only read the first page but my favorite thing to do is give away furniture and toys we don't want anymore.
Last week, I gave away a solid oak dresser/mirror set that I had refurbished and a massive bookshelf that was only a few years old.
I teach in a school that has a 95% poverty rate and live fairly close to the school, so most of our students never have anything "nice" in their homes. Please don't purposely break furniture even if you think it's junk. It can always be used for something or fixed. 🙂
