I just received a used watch band from amazon that came in a giant box that could have held 2 shoeboxes. All that was in it was a single flat watch band and a lot of plastic bubble wrap. The watch band could have been shipped in a small flat envelope.

There's a subreddit where people post pictures of wastefully packed items. r/EgregiousPackaging or something like that.

I ordered a baseball cap once from Amazon, and it came in a huge cardboard box. Utterly excessive.

I dropped my car off for annual service this morning. I suspect they have to replace the brake pads, too. I have not heard back from them, and attempts to reach them over the past hour have been unsuccessful (a receptionist answers, but no one answers when she transfers me to service department, and I've left a voice mail and a text for the guy in charge of my service). It's a pretty major car dealership, not some tiny one-person shop. We're supposed to leave to get D from camp in like an hour, and I was hoping to get my car first...

My son just texted and said their first night in new place was really nice, he said it feels so much cleaner and nicer there than his old place was. They even got a welcome basket with TP, paper towels, laundry soap and other stuff in it.

I hope you can reach them soon and get your car back quickly! We have been so lucky in that regard, we found a sorta-smallish shop not far from where we live that we take both our cars to, they are awesome there and they know H very well, his car is on their "wall of fame" haha because it has almost 250,000 miles on it and still runs like it's new. He's been taking it there for regular maintenance since we bought it new in 2015. |

I bought my car used in 2015. It had 44,000 miles on it. Today it turned over to 62,000 miles. LOL. I rarely drive far. |

I drive about 1000 miles a year. At this rate, I'm going to have to think about who should inherit my car.
I just made rhubarb compote: serious deliciousness. I may break down and drive to the local ice cream shop and get some really good vanilla. |

I don't know...first you should consider whether the marginal benefit of the really good vanilla is worth the marginal cost of the extra wear on your car and the corresponding loss to your heirs, oh, and of course the calories.

The answer to "Is really good vanilla ice cream worth the trip?" is always YES.

I mean, if you're going to drive for ice cream, it should be chocolate peanut butter. |

If you all recall, one reason I took economics is so I’d get the jokes. Well, I just came across one:
