          Booze?

          I'm a pretty good natured drunk, so this could work.  Too bad the kids aren't quite to the point where they can fend for themselves yet.  Then I'd be golden.

                Speaking of laptop buffers, and completely off-topic, but my wife uses her laptop as a literal, physical buffer on flights when a neighbor spills over into her space by wedging it between seats.

                  That’s a great idea. I wonder if I could figure out a way to make mine heat up or maybe shock the love handles, arm giggle, and/or side boob of the person spilling into my seat….

                              I can handle two days if it's an eBay purchase because it's an individual with a day job, not their business.  But when it's a business it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

                                    @organisys eBay is on my shit list forever more.

                                    Sold iPhone to buyer. 3 months later buyer claims purchase was not authorised by them on their card. Buyer gets refunded immediately.

                                    No iPhone, no money  😞

                                    To make it even more amusing the sale was conducted entirely through Sams eBay account  😢

                                    The devil is in the detail..

                                      i'll never sell on ebay even if i'm in a dire situation.. should've just gone gumtree or iphone marketplace which i found to be pretty decent.

                                            Sat in the sofa talking to Hot Ingrid and I ask what she’s doing on her phone.  “Research for Black Friday”, she says. There’s me thinking Black Friday was yesterday and thank fuck I was done with it. But nooooo, turns out we now have Black Week, (bit racist, but besides the point). So I’ve fielded about 20 spam emails, suffered countless ad’s on assorted platforms, and the cunting day is still a week off?! Fuck. That. Shit.

                                            As of now I will treat any brand, channel, outlet, shoving Black Fucking Friday in my face, the same way I treat cold callers. That is to say I will less than politely invite them to lick my chocolate starfish, or face the consequences of being gently shagged sideways with a cricket bat, (for everyone not originating from the UK, or former colony of the UK, this is equivalent to be lightly frigged by a baseball bat, only much less comfortable). Modern life is rubbish.
