Regular clothing I could probably last decades, I still have clothes from 20 years ago that are perfectly fine. Shoes are my big issue, they wear out fast for me, even higher priced brands that are supposed to last.

To be fair, in Florida at least it referred primarily to the whips used to drive cattle, not anything slavery related.

I’ve bought sub $500 laptops several times in the last 6 years or so, and they were all great. Lenovo puts (or at least used to put) out Ideapads with Ryzen processors that are crazy cheap, and fairly upgradable.

I have it. It makes eating at Chipotle impossible.

Lol, it’s from a comedy, it was never meant to be serious.

Half your age + 7 is literally from a comedy movie. It’s not a hard and fast rule.

Definitely not standardized. Some brands aren’t even consistent between different items they make.

I’ve had my Shark Navigator Pro for over a decade, the thing is a tank. If it died tomorrow I would instantly buy another one.

I’m usually trying to find out if the person will try to BS me, or if they will admit when they don’t know.

Sam’s Club. We cancelled our membership and they still charged us. I called the main customer service number and told them to reverse the charge, or I would reverse it for them. They got all pissy and claimed they could only speak to my wife, who wasn’t available, despite the fact that my card was the one charged. Then they started getting insulting, and claimed my bank wouldn’t reverse the charge. I ask to speak to someone higher up, and politely explain the situation again, complete with my cancellation email, and the supervisor is even ruder than the first person. I then called the local store, and thankfully the person there wasn’t an asshole. They pulled up the account, saw it was cancelled on the date I said, and quickly refunded the charge. I have no idea why Sam’s Club customer service is the way they are, but they can eat a bag of dicks.

Our idiot principal for my first two years tried to come up with his own rule that shirts had to be tucked in. The written rule added the caveat “if it was designed to be tucked in”. I purposely bought shirts that said they were not intended to be tucked in just so I could be a problem, and then made sure other people know which ones to buy.
