When I was in college I found a laundromat with a bar next door.

This sub is awful, maybe 1/100 posts is a real tip.

Larry talking to his other personalities to troll a guy talking on a Bluetooth.
This is magnificent

It's also often prohibited in the lease or HOA agreements for these reasons and potential water damage reasons.

Reply to LPT: If you always listen to music or the radio when you drive, make sure to do occasional drives without sound to listen to your car for a few minutes. There could be something quietly scraping, grinding, or dragging and you would never hear it until it’s too loud and too late. by The_Big_Crouton
You mean like when my drunk neighbor knocked my front bumper off my parked car, I took it to a body shop, did the insurance claim, the whole nine yards and told them specifically that a big piece of plastic was flapping underneath and to make sure it was secure....and I go to pick up my car days later and hear the flappy piece still scraping on the highway but I had to get to work, so I called their asses and made them tow my car back and give me a rental because they didn't do a good repair the first time??? Apparently one of the "best" body shops in our metro area.
Yes I definitely listen to my car frequently and recommend others do the same!
Second time I picked my car up I got on my stomach in the lot and looked under it. Shouldn't have to but here we are.

Make a habit of doing it every day.
Start vehicle. Let idle 10-15 seconds. Pull out slowly and for the next eighth of a mile, listen to the vehicle.
Added bonus: thats the way we were taught to start the vehicles and run them to warm up properly. Also nice do get that check in every day.

Hello sir/madamz sorry to interrupt, can you please not use the speaker? Thanks.

Just do all your laundry when you go visit your parents for holidays. Buy value packs of underwear and socks, multi wears for everything else. Method worked flawlessly for me for the first few years of college

Yeah but you can get a cheap amp and more speakers on Amazon cheap - easy peasy.

Yeah my neighbour tried this but I wasn’t using a speaker. She was just trying to be annoying. It didn’t work on me.

People having a conversation in real life seems to be able to adjust their volume compared to people on speaker phones. Not only is the voice from the phone much louder, most people talk louder into the phone then their normal volume

Reply to comment by PrestigiousWaffles in LPT Request: How to lose emotions from your face permanently? by todiecena
I feel this and the OP. I hate showing emotions in certain situations - like at work with a demented boss. It’s only happened a few times - but all those times were so embarrassing and I tried so hard to fake no emotion but I broke. I wish I had an answer. When I feel the tears coming I try and grit my teeth and imagine my face going blank and try to think of something to pull myself out of my own head or the current moment … if that makes any sense. Like something I’m going to do tonight or saying the alphabet backwards in my head even for just a few seconds. I don’t know - but I’ll be following to see what other people suggest. I agree you shouldn’t try to lose your emotions but I do understand wanting to control what people see. Especially when it will make life hard or have a negative effect on the situation.

Haha believe it or not I was socialized the same, despite being a woman. My mom believed crying was a manipulation tactic girls use, so she'd start raging if you did it in front of her. Probably not a super common experience among women, but it really makes me feel for guys like yourself. Glad you've been able to find your tears! They're so important.

If I wanted to hear those noises I wouldn’t have put him in the boot in the first place.

Devils advocate here, what’s the difference having a conversation with another person in present company vs on speakerphone?

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude
What if you’re oddly suspicious of the amount of sleep you are getting and have to look at the clock to check if the alarm is on?

You're assuming this person isn't already prepared to fight the person with the speakerphone due to the annoyance. An hour in a metal tube with someone screaming at their phone can change your perspective a bit.
