This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

None of this would attract attention, this is what you would buy to work on an old car. You don't get out much do you? ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Are you working on the car or doing a patch job until you can work on the car?

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

[โ€“] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah that hurts just right.

If you think the mechanics you go to aren't cowboys, you're wrong.

If you think the guy who wired up your home wasn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

If you think the guy you would hire to wire up your home now isn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

It's cowboys all the way down.

I've inspected enough homes to realize that the people with the least respect for the dangers of poorly-installed wiring are electricians.

Depends on whether I'm getting paid fam

Right. I'm just having trouble imagining a scenario that would require a new battery and duct tape but not fasteners of any kind or bolts...

How else do you fix a seat belt anchor

[โ€“] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Going to an auto parts store? If you do that with duct tape then you're going to have a very bad time.

Went out once to buy movie tickets, get back to the old big screen to experience it properly again. But it was very noisy and busy so it was more than enough with just the one time.

What movie? Casablanca?
