Yes $3 isn’t a lot of money, but it’s way more than what a single hashbrown is worth.

Edit: holy shit relax people. I didn’t notice the price until after I ordered. God forbid a guy wants a hashbrown to go with his McGriddle.

Edit 2: Y’all too funny getting so upset about this. Thanks for the interactions!! 🤣

Context Provided - Spotlight Jeep melted

Here’s the story: a jeep came to the shop because its retractable top was stuck open. Not too uncommon of an occurrence. So we put our “crash wrap“ over the roof to protect the interior from rain and animals and such, which is basically like heavy duty cling wrap. One day it rains and a lot of water pools up on the crash wrap. The next day it is 100°F outside and the sun is out. The sun shines through the water and the water basically magnifies it, and the sun turns into a laser that melts the interior. Multiple days of this happen. Now we have to replace everything that melted. None of us have ever heard of this happening before.

edit: I meant we have never heard of this very specific situation happening before. It never would’ve crossed our minds since we’ve been doing this for years. yes I burnt stuff with a magnifying glass when i was a kid.

Context Provided - Spotlight Came to my motel room and saw this

Post image
46.2k Upvotes

For context, when we came back from dinner, it looked like our door had signs of entry, with the top of it bent inward, and the lock no longer working. We asked for help and wanting a new room, but our stuff was still inside. They told us to wait in the lobby and someone will help us.

An hour later, we don't see anyone. So I decide to check our room, and find this person here. I wonder who the hell this is, and think it might be someone with the motel. Guy ended up being the manager, saying that he opened it and that he wants help sealing the opening back up. I say absolutely not, because it shouldn't be my job and it's not our fault we've been locked out.

I just hate the lack of communication. Grateful we got our stuff and especially my medicine, but we shouldn't have been in this spot in the first place.

Had to re-upload because people kept asking for context and I forgot this page allows for embedded text.

I (30M) have a middle name that is my mother's maiden name, so in essence my name is like John Wilbur Jackson, and people will always say "so your last name is Wilbur-Jackson?" Then I'll have to explain that my family has this tradition of using the mother's maiden name as the child's middle name, "But it's a last name!" They'll say, correct but its being used as a middle name. Then they'll try to explain my own name to me like I'm the idiot in this situation.

Context Provided - Spotlight Im autistic and my last safe spoon for cereal just broke.

Post image
9.7k Upvotes

These plastic spoons have been my cereal spoons since I was lile 5. We used to have like 20 of them but they have slowly withered away. I was down to one until it got fucming stuck in a door and broke. I can't find them in stores anywhere or online. I am internally devastated.

Edit: for all the people asking how it got stuck in the door I had it in my off hand and it somehow managed to catch while I was closing the door

Edit number 2: why they were safe spoons: The bowl depth and size was perfect. The texture and quality of the plastic was ok to brain and the handles fit my hands perfectly.

Edit the third: for those of you being so kind as to try and help me find more here is everything I know: im pretty sure they are teaspoons, the handles are 4inchs roughly, the material is some type of high quality plastic, and on.the back of the spoon is the number 16 inside a small circle.

Edit 4, the realizing: this is an old photo

Edit revenge of the 5th: ive tried Google image searching and using find it subreddits to no avail

Edit 6th man out: im gonna answer some common questions/comments

The reason it is a safe spoon is due to my autism I have sensory issues. Utensils I use have to have a certain texture and shape or else I will vomit/gag or outright block the use of it. I have in the past gone days without eating because I didnt have access to safe Utensils and have even collapsed from not eating enough before. So yes its a very real issue.

No I can't just grow out of my autism or just get better. Thats not how this shit works you ableist fucks.

I have been trying to get therapy but my city only has 1 that takes state insurance and im on the wait list but its currently a 3 year wait period.

Also thanks to knickknackpoliwag I have found the spoons! Atleast the name and brand they are. Diamond Series "Savannah Pattern" Made by Alltrista in 2004. Im now just trying to find a way to get them.

BIG UPDATE GUYS!!! MYSTERY RESOLVED:

Hi! I’m the girlfriend, we were folding laundry together and I looked at it and thought wait was it supposed to look like this? It just looked kinda weird to me and I hadn’t worn it in a long time so I couldn’t remember. I just handed it to my bf like “can you take a look at this, it looks weird” and went to the kitchen without really thinking much of it. I was cooking for a while and when I came back to the room he was STILL trying to figure it out and had posted it here 😭 Then we check my order history cuz some people asked where can they get it from and thanks to them we realized it was actually supposed to be like this by design… Sorry!!

My goto parking space in front of my house got a makeover today. I have been parking there for over a decade. RIP.

Edit: I posted to mildly infuriating. No need for the war cries here, folks.


UPDATE: Alright, folks! I have answers.

Yes, it's city sanctioned.

It is longer than expected from the corner because of a hydrant across the street, rather than proximity to the corner. And no, there isn't a stop sign.

The yellow is different because they got new paint this year.

It is part of an effort they are starting across the city, so I guess I should expect this yellow to become more familiar.

And shout out to the lovely human working for the city that helped me get all of these questions answered!

Context Provided - Spotlight Apparently staring at a TV for hours is fine, unless you’re holding a controller

It’s mildly infuriating how many people are completely fine with someone sitting on the couch staring at a television for hours while watching movies or shows.

But the second someone spends that same amount of time interacting with what’s on the screen, making decisions, solving problems, reacting, coordinating, exploring, or competing, suddenly it’s “wasting your life” because it’s video games.

So passively watching a screen for four hours is normal entertainment, but actively engaging with one for four hours is somehow a moral failure?

Makes sense. Absolutely flawless logic. /s
