        Thanks! My mom will be so proud. And then probably ask what took so long and why the rest of my life isn’t so well in order.

        I’m gonna call it OCD, but in a friendly way. I’m OCD about my fingernails being short. My father was OCD about his socks wearing out at an even rate. I’m not pointing fingers. Cheers!

      You should probably just take my kids. School drop off is at 9. They don’t eat fucking anything. Best of luck.

      Looks not unlike a chalk outline at a crime scene.

      I’ve been searching for a lost vape for about five days. Our place isn’t even that big and it’s pretty clean because my partner won’t stand for the sort of sloppiness that I get up to when no one polices me. And the vape is a hell of a lot larger.

    Paperclip, bent staple, pushpin, breadboard wire, toothpick, 3D printer nozzle cleaner, 0000-sized cross head screwdriver, and stripped twist tie are all no match for the glorious sim tool.

    I used to keep one on my keyring.

    I finally took it off after the 4th time I had to pull it out of my thigh.

    Hah, that’s why I bought a little treasure chest that I have on my desk. I keep magic stuff there like usb keys, a lighter, these things (whatever they are called? Sim card pins?), anything that is small and infrequently used.

      Impossible! We can’t even find these things now. How will they ever find them in a thousand years from now?

        One fell out of my dryer today.

        I haven’t used one in over a year. Quite perplexing.

      Similar useless everyday objects sitting in a museum today from less time ago that we pay money to stare at. Heck there’s a Walkman in a museum…

    Broke my phone last week. Had mine on my keychain when the tech couldn’t find his quick enough.

      Also keep mine on my keys… Well used to before children ripped it off… Need to get a new one

    LOL, no I’m not. I’m just bad at getting rid of stuff.

    I have one on my keychain, which is sometimes a huge pain in the thigh, the hand or the fabric of the jeans, but it’s worth it, because I use it like, every six months.

      Yeah, I did that, until one day I was digging my keys out of a pocket and the prong ended embedded deep under my fingernail. Never again.

    These things suck and are too tiny to store anywhere useful. A small paper clip works the same and stores much better.

      Agree totally. There’s no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone’s return window ends.

        You must be using thick paperclips. All the ones I’ve used have all worked fine. Paperclips come in a wide range of thicknesses.

        What an uninspired way to approach life. You encounter something that doesn’t match your specific experience and, instead of wondering how it could be true, your only reaction is to deny it altogether. Be a bit more curious.
