Why haven't the round outlets in cars all been replaced with either standard household outlets or USB outlets?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

We're gonna sell you a shitty adapter that will convert your 12v plug to a real plug. It'll cost as much as 40 bags of ice.

For the life of me I can’t understand how the shades on our lamps loosen up to the point where they rattle if you walk by. At first I thought it was the cleaning ladies, but it happens in between cleanings.

Some ghost certainly knows my pain points.
