I've been home from China for a week, but my bowels are still jet-lagged. I've been going to bed at normal time and sleeping like a rock until 3:30AM when I have to get up and take a E36 M3. Now it's 4:42AM and there's no way I'm going to get back to sleep.
It isn't as far away as China, but a two week trip to Scotland 25 years ago changed my life. Not poo related, but I changed from watching the late late show to being unable to sleep in. 8 am is out of the question now.
im 30 and still dont like steak.

I'm 20 and I don't either. I'll take ground beef formed into a burger over steak any day.

I went with my dad to look at a truck. The thought that the ugliest truck on a sketchy used car lot might have a bluetooth front driveshaft never occurred to me. I noticed this after we got home with the truck. Of course both people we talked to at the dealership said the 4wd worked.
Woah, wireless driveshafts! Does it at least have backwards compatibility to reinstall the non-wireless driveshaft at least?
I'm giving serious thought to creating my own fake news website to see what kind of bizarre stuff I can get people to believe.
"Bigfoot nukes Wilmot, nd" "civil war submarine found in Loch Ness" just completely off the wall stuff.
I'm afraid people really would believe it.

Make sure you get some spammy ads all over the website and that you have to click through 10 of them to read an entire "article" so that you can make your money off of it. That actually does seem like it could be a fun idea if you can come up with enough creatively bogus stuff. And maybe some satire too.
In reply to AWSX1686 :
It has everything else in place from what I can tell. Really bad axle seal leak on the front diff, but it doesn't look like anything catastrophic occurred. My best guess is the previous owner pulled it because the CV joint failed, it's on the ever growing list of the things this sketchy used car lot special truck needs.
Continued truck related confession. It took all day yesterday to change the oil, atf, and filters. Partially because I failed to notice that the screw that one of the filters in place was a torx and kept trying to figure out what size socket fit.
I get annoyed when I go to the mens' room at work to offload some coffee, and someone is using my favorite spot.

"Favorite spot"? Try working in a small office with a one-holer and a dude who likes to take 30 minutes to make sure the place is utterly destroyed for the next guy.
In regards to the pizza posts in the "1st world problems" thread:
I order square cut pizza sometimes. A few years ago, I ordered a pizza from Marcos (don't judge) and mistakenly ordered it square cut. It showed up pie cut and they offered a free large pizza as compensation.
Hmmm...
Over the course of a couple of months, it happened two more times, each coming with a free large pizza coupon.

I treat pizza like sex: even when its bad, its still pizza.

Marcos is at least decent food, even if it's not great pizza.

I find Marco's pizza to be pretty good, but their wings are a goddamn disgrace, as is their service. Every time I go to Marco's to pick up my pizza, I'll see a bunch of finished pizzas on the shelf. Talk to the person at the counter (it's a different person that does this every time too) and they say my pizzas aren't done yet and to take a seat. Wait 15-20 minutes and another employee will come along and go "What are you waiting for ? What's the name again?" and then pull my pizzas off the shelf where they have been sitting completed and boxed the entire time I've been waiting. Literally every time.

I willingly eat Little Caesar's. I know what I'm doing. I still stand by my statement.
I like Little Caesar's too. I know what it is. I'm not ashamed.

I too enjoy Little Caesar's. See the thing is, if you go into it thinking "This is a slice of pizza" it's strictly average. But then do an attitude reset and go "This is a slice of $5 pizza" and it's phenomenal. And the Extra Most Bestest isn't just good Little Caesar's/cheap pizza, it's genuinely good pizza
My friends 50 dollar omni was totalled in a hit and run and i was sad when the wrecker picked it up last night. The car was hilarious and reliable for under 300 bucks over a year.

No, I just think Imo's is a disgrace to food. Little Caesar's is again, decent food when you consider the price. It tastes ok. It is cheap. It is fast. It has its place. Imo's has a special place in the depths of hell.
As much as I dislike this shopping/holiday season, I'm really looking forward to this years grm secret Santa.
I bought engine parts for an engine that i dont oen yet, and this im not sure will fit.

Agreed. At length. A page or two back in the “First World Problems” thread.
