In the summer of 2021, I took my camping trailer… camping. I rarely use the microwave.

Before the trip, I stocked the trailer with probably several hundred pounds of food. I like to keep everyone well fed—what if the highways close, or a landslide traps us, and I have to live in the wilderness for several weeks?

I placed a lovely bunch of bananas in the microwave for safe keeping. They were not consumed during the camping trip.

I took this picture on July 2nd, 2022, while getting ready for another camping trip, and opened the microwave to make sure everything was still in order.

I realize this post may cause some outrage… bananas were harmed in the making of this post.

Bananas for scale. 🍌

What’s the safest way to dispose of a very sharp broken knife (about 32 cm / 13 inches)?

I can’t put it in recycling, and trying to separate the plastic handle feels like a trip to A&E waiting to happen. If I wrap it in newspaper or cloth for safety, I’m not sure it can go in regular landfill either.

It’s served me well for years helping feed my family, but it’s definitely time for it to go.

For context: F60 UK5. And yes… there’s a whole bunch of bananas nearby for protection in case it doesn’t want to leave. 🍌

I was delivering a DoorDash order and pulled up to this guy’s apartment. I rang the doorbell, knocked a few times, and even waited around for a bit. No answer. The place was completely silent. At that point, I’m not going to stand there all night babysitting someone’s pizza while they ignore their own door.

So I left the order by the door, took the delivery photo like the app instructs, and marked it as delivered. A few minutes later, the guy starts messaging me, complaining about how I “just left it there.”

I told him: if you order food and then disappear when the driver arrives, that’s not my problem. I did exactly what I was supposed to do—the food made it to your door. If you wanted a personal handoff, maybe answer the door when someone rings it five times.

If anyone lost $3,200 wrapped in a large hair tie, hit me up—I found it!

It was all in $20 bills and still wrapped in the hair tie.

My husband and I went out for dinner last night. We left a $20 bill on the table as a tip for our $125 bill—and the waiter refused to take it.

He held it up to the light. Red dye stained the corner.
“Is this a joke?” he asked. “You want me to take a dyed bill? This is worthless.”

I was mortified. I’d checked my wallet before we left—three $20s, all looked fine to me. I didn’t notice the red tint. Didn’t think to inspect my own money like a bank teller.

“Keep your dirty dollar bills at home,” he said, loud enough for nearby tables to hear. “If you can’t afford to tip properly without passing off stolen money, you can’t afford to eat out.”

Stolen? I got this cash from an ATM yesterday. But now I’m standing there, face burning, wondering if the machine gave me marked bills, if someone swapped them, if I look like a criminal trying to launder dye-packed money through a restaurant tip.

He demanded $50 “in real money” or said he’d add the gratuity to our card himself. My husband argued. The manager came over. The whole restaurant watched.

I wanted to disappear. We ended up putting $50 on the card just to escape.

Now I’m left wondering: was that $20 actually marked? Was I wronged? Or am I somehow the villain in a story about a bad bill I didn’t even know I had?

Am I wrong for thinking the waiter could have handled this privately, instead of turning my embarrassing mistake into public dinner theater?

How screwed am I? My builder has cut every single joist off the steel that’s supposed to support my rafters.

My mom needed a new set of stairs leading to her basement, and even though my husband Steve doesn’t always get along with her—mostly because she thinks I deserve better than him—he offered to help for free. All she had to cover was the materials.

Steve’s been out of work for about four months after being fired from Lloyd Barrington Construction over some vague “OSHA violations” and being called a “danger to others”—whatever that means. So this was a great chance for him to get his hands dirty and show off his handyman skills. I’m pretty sure if old man Lloyd Barrington saw Steve’s work, he’d feel real dumb right about now.

As a bonus, Steve’s relationship with my mom is improving. Building these stairs gave him a new perspective on her, and she’s starting to see him in a better light too.

I feel so lucky to be married to such a kind and generous man, and I can’t wait to show him my gratitude later tonight 😉 Big Mama loves you, Steve, and all that you do! 💜

My nightmare neighbors installed floodlights aimed straight into my yard after months of threatening my cat and blocking my driveway. Am I wrong for wanting to go to war?

I’ve owned this home for 9 months; they’ve rented for 15 years and act like they own the block. Constantly park in front of my driveway, take all the street spots, use trash cans to save spaces, and even threatened to “catch” my cat—five cats roam here—and claimed it was pooping in their yard.

This weekend, they hit a new level: obnoxiously bright floodlights in the front and back yard, one shining directly into mine. I’ve had it. Done being nice.

Am I wrong for wanting petty? For knowing “legal” doesn’t mean “nice”? For realizing 15 years of renting doesn’t give you ownership of the block?

Hit me with your pettiest ideas. They need to know: lights may be on, but I’m the one shining now.

So I had an electrician come out to fix a light switch that wasn’t working. He explained the issue, I gave him the go-ahead, and left him to do his thing.

When I came back to check on the progress, THIS is what I saw: a massive vertical cut in my wall, stretching from almost ceiling to floor. I’m like, what is this??

He casually says he had to open the wall to access the junction box. Okay… but why didn’t you tell me you were about to cut a giant hole in my wall first?

Then he tells me, “Yeah, I’m not going to be able to fix the drywall. You’ll need to get someone else for that.”

So now what was supposed to be a simple switch repair has turned into hiring a drywaller too. Why would you not mention that before cutting a huge strip out of my wall?

I feel so defeated. I hired a “professional” to run a new water line to the front of my house so I could wash my car, and I paid $900 upfront.

I came down to the basement and found this: he used cheap press fittings instead of soldering the copper and tied a piece of literal cardboard to it as a tag!

When I called him, he said, “You didn’t say you wanted it soldered,” and hung up. Now I have to pay someone else to redo it properly—and I can’t really afford it.

Am I overreacting, or is this completely unacceptable?

I am honestly losing my mind. We paid $12,300 for a “new side walkway and drainage solution,” and right now it looks like someone just poured a giant gray slab along the house and dropped a metal trench drain in the middle like an afterthought.

The concrete is still that dark, fresh-pour color, the joints are super basic, and the long drain grate runs straight across the walkway like a stainless-steel speed bump. Meanwhile, the yard beside it is still torn up with dirt and tools everywhere. Instead of a finished upgrade, it feels like the job just stopped halfway through cleanup.

I asked the contractor if this was really the final layout, and he said, “Yeah, the drain keeps water away from the foundation.” Sure, I get the function—but for over twelve grand, I expected something that looked a little more intentional and polished than a concrete runway with a metal grate cut through it.

Am I overreacting, or does this look way more basic than it should for that price?
