Usually, when we’re dropping a lot of money on something, it’s an exciting purchase. A brand new iPhone, a new car, a PlayStation5, or that top-of-the-line washing machine you’ve been dreaming about for months. You can’t wait to unbox it and christen it, but along with the excitement comes a tinge of anxiety. “What if I crack the screen?” “What if I spill water on it?” “What if someone scratches my door when parking next to me?” Unfortunately, nothing can stay new forever, and once something is out in the world, there are infinite ways to ruin it.
Below, we’ve gathered photos of some of the most tragic ways expensive items have been destroyed, and I’ll warn you right now, they might be painful to look at. But alas, all good things must come to an end, and for some reason, it seems like the purchases we cherish the most are the things that get demolished the fastest…
Be sure to upvote the pics that have convinced you to always purchase the optional insurance, and then if you’re interested in causing yourself even more pain, you can find a couple more Bored Panda articles featuring valuable items that have taken irreparable damage here and here!

Ground Staff Pulled The Wrong Handle And MD-80's Butt Fell Off
I am slightly worried that it takes just a wrong handle to make it fall off
It’s an emergency exit. Overwing exits also only have one handle.

So Much For That Expensive Cat Furniture
My cat ignored the post for months, until I had to move it to another corner of the room. Since then it is the best thing ever 🙃 Sometimes the devil is in the details... like cat feng shui.
Load More Replies...That is why I never buy my cat nice things. I buy nice things for myself and she gets the boxes they were delivered in. Win-win.
The only time a cat purchase worked out as planned for me was a clearance sale at Pier 1. I was shopping and saw some baskets and thought that they would make great cat baskets and (hopefully) divert their attention from the other purchases. It actually worked. Up to that point it was a matter of buy the toys, throw away the toys and give them the bag.
Load More Replies...I bought my cat a new bed. She ignored it until I put it back in the box. Now she uses it all the time.
Ha! I bought a cat tree for this kitten I got last year and she didn’t care for it either, which was frustrating because it was annoying to put together. Good thing I didn’t donate it to the shelter as planned because I got two more surprise foundling kittens this past summer who love it.
If this was a first time cat owner, they are excused. Otherwise, they knew this and it's all on themselves.
Baby Ducks In The Lake
Yeah I really think that's a bald driver. Plus why else would that door be open?
Load More Replies...I’m not proud to admit it, but I can relate all too well to these photos, pandas. The one time I bought jeans that weren’t from a thrift store and actually cost a decent amount of money, I managed to get 3 stains on them the first time I wore them. I’ve shattered 2 iPhones, one by dropping it onto a tiled bathroom floor and the other by dropping it down an entire flight of tiled stairs. When I was 16, after having my driver’s license for one month, I got into a fender bender with my very first car. I’ve shattered glasses and plates, left my car windows down during a thunderstorm and destroyed the screen of a laptop only one month after a new one was put on (because the old one also stopped working).
Call it bad luck, clumsiness or karma for something I did in a past life, but I could see some of my possessions ending up on a list like this in the future one day. Many of these photos are even more tragic than anything I’ve experienced, though. I feel for these people, but I also can’t help but laugh. We’re all capable of doing stupid things or making mistakes that we immediately wish we could take back. Whether it’s melting your kid’s PlayStation controllers or driving your truck into a lake, everybody has those days. The important thing is that we learn from our lessons, and perhaps ensure those valuables next time around.
My Laptop Was Murdered By A Single Grain Of Chipotle Brown Rice That Got Closed In The Screen
My grandma didn't lie to me!!! Rice really does make you strong!!!
You shouldn't really eat at your workplace/laptop ever! In the series "Myth Busters" they check the myth: Is it true that a keyboard has more germs than a toilet seat? This myth was confirmed as true. The wet kitchen sponge is even worse, completely off the scale with germs. It does make sense, because the office toilets are cleaned each day with strong disinfectant cleaning solutions, while the keyboard is never cleaned. The keyboard gets so dirty precisely because people drop food items and touch with greasy fingers. Food for germs.
Yup. I never ever eat in at my desk. It's bad for your mental health to not have a separation of work and break time.
Load More Replies...The same thing happened to me, but with a bobby (hair) pin that got stuck to a magnetized edge. ☹️
I closed the laptop with cable from the mouse in it, same happened. At least I had it for 7 years or so and was time to buy a new one with bigger screen.
I did something similar once too, that's how I learned to replace a laptop screen.

Airports have very well defined paths that guide the planes. Lines on the ground that the they follow. Any time they get close to a structure, they have a person on the ground guiding them. Did someone take that plane out for a joy ride and take the corner too tight or something?
No problem. Just pull the wing release handle and pop on a new one.

Meh! Nothing like a little bit of quick filler in there, sand to..almost perfection, couple coats of paint and...voila! Good as new!
If you’ve got some photos in your camera roll that would be right at home on this list, don’t feel bad. Many of us do. For example, did you know that every hour, 5,761 phone screens are cracked? That’s over 50 million phone screens a year. These are primarily caused by drops, according to CNBC, and apparently, companies are working hard to solve the issue of creating a great smartphone that won’t shatter when it slips out of your hand.
“Proving that a device is durable is essential to convince people to pay more for a phone,” Francisco Jeronimo, senior research director for European mobile devices at IDC, told CNBC. “Consumers are a lot more concerned about what happens to their phone and it being able to handle certain accidents. When people spend $1,000 on a cellphone, they don’t expect it to crack the first time they drop it on the floor.” But everyone wants a thin, sleek design for their device too, which makes creating a durable phone quite the challenging task.

I was test-driving a 2020 Ford Escape and really liked it. When I put it in reverse we heard a clunk noise and smoke started billowing from the hood. 2 minutes later it was engulfed in flames.
Well, I guess it’s better to have happened then, than after you bought it.
Off topic, but it's good seeing someone who knows the difference between "then" and "than" It's a rare thing to see nowadays, unfortunately.

Frantically searching insurance coverage to see if destruction by dog is covered.
Even if phones become more durable than they have been in the past, we can’t stop humans from being clumsy. And apparently, Americans in particular seem to have butter fingers when it comes to holding onto their cell phones. Swns Digital reports that 52% of Americans are “always” worried about their phones. And for good reason, because the average American drops their phone at least four times every week, with most breaks happening within 10 weeks of purchasing the phone.
“Gravity seems to be a constant challenge when it comes to our smartphones,” JP Brousseau, CEO of PhoneLoops.com, told Swns Digital. “Getting a protective phone case is the first step, but even that can’t always prevent damage to your phone if you drop it. A strap offers the simplest way to keep your grip, even one-handed – and that’s what Phone Loops provide.”
Skipped Breakfast, Stood Up Too Fast, Passed Out While Taking An Exam During A Zoom Meeting, Fell On My Most Expensive Piece Of Furniture
Shattered my phone, cut my ear on the broken glass, strained a bicep, and couldn’t submit the exam on time. How’s your day going?
Chipboard and dowel? My dude, this is a "look at my expensive ipad boxes" flex and nothing else. If that's your most expensive piece of furniture the rest of it must be banana boxes.
Sounds like you have low blood pressure for some reason and should get checked out. I do intermittent fasting all day and don’t get faint. Don’t even get hungry.

If You Are Ever Tempted To Throw Your Styrofoam Cup Of Soda Out The Window On The Highway, Don't
Yes, don’t throw anything out your car window. Just don’t litter full stop.
Will not litter full stops. While I'm at it I also won't litter exclamation marks either.
Load More Replies...I'm sure there was still some soda in the cup. You can actually see some brown sludge by the cup remains on the window.
Load More Replies...What was in the cup, cement? Or was the windshield a replacement one that didn't quite meet safety standards
If it was a McDonalds cup, then it was full of ice.

Load More Replies...What Happens When You Drive Into A House
You'd have thought a semi truck ran into this. Not a toyota ( or at least i think thats a toyota by the looks of the logo) Edit: Thank you all for clarifying it is not a toyota but a BMW!!!
Two world wars, half the industrial revolution, and lots of rain. And then this happens.
There seems to be a lack of structure to that structure. It looks like basically two rows of bricks were the entirety of those load-bearing walls.
That was pretty much the standard way to build walls in Britain, from the mid 1700s onwards. There are hundreds of thousand buildings using that kind of construction, still standing and still in use But if you take out the lower part of the structure there's nothing to support the rest, so it collapses.
Load More Replies...Holy s**t. Somehow i always imagined the car would just lose the fight with a wall... never imagined it would take out whole oart of a house.
That house might've been structurally compromised before, it usually takes more than a single car to do that kind of damage.
These types of houses are worker housing from the 1800s through to early 1900s. They were not built very strongly tbh.
Load More Replies...This literately happened around the corner from me. The driver was drunk and died. Fortunately no one who was in the house at the time was hurt. This wasn't the first time the house had been hit either.
Yesterday someone in my town was killed by a car crashing through their kitchen.
"A house in Greater Manchester was hit this evening and dramatically collapsed on top of the offending car - nearby properties were evacuated and a woman was arrested" - "Local people in Canterbury Street in Ashton-under-Lyne, said the same building had already been struck back in September and had been damaged when another car ploughed into it."
When it comes to some of the most common places where phones meet their untimely deaths, Swns Digital notes that they’ve been dropped in sewers, on the bathroom floors in bars, in hospital bathrooms, in port-o-potties, in pots of rice, in bowls of soup, in dog’s water bowls, in dumpsters, in beer cups and in trash cans. Personally, my biggest fear is my phone slipping out of my hand and sliding down a drain or through the cracks over a drain, never to be seen again. One in three Americans admitted to even dropping their phone right into the toilet. Beware of that dangerous back pocket! But apparently, nothing can convince us to be more cautious with our phones, because 76% of Americans say they would be completely lost if they were suddenly without a phone. Yet we continue to drop, shatter and destroy them all the time…
Put Son's PS4 Controllers In The Oven Last Night To Hide Them So He'd Go To Bed. Didn't Tell The Wife, Who Then Put Oven On This Morning
Yes - the oven is not a good storage option. People have been known to preheat ovens.
The amount of people who think the oven is for storage is too damn high

I am cringing at the thought of how the driver felt. In his shoes to say I would panic is an understatement
I mean, sure they're nice but I don't see the point in actually owning sports cars for the most part. given how bad traffic can be these days you'll never really get to use them to their full potential. They're more of a "look at me im rich" tool than anything else.
Where's that phone call about the extended warranty when you need it?
Imagine if it were the other drivers fault. Average liability insurance would not cover anywhere close to fixing that car. Bring on the lawyers!

Load More Replies...Here we put our insulation in the walls and in the roof, not on the floor of your roof where only a slat of drywall has to keep it there. You do it cheap and lazy, you get results like this.
Putting insulation behind the roof sheathing in a cold climate can backfire badly if it isn't properly vented with an air space between the sheathing and the insulation. It gets soggy and the rafters start to rot.
Load More Replies...No, looks like that cellulose insulation that gets blown in. It's made from recycled newspaper. It's the vermiculite insulation from the 60s through early 70s that has the asbestos in it.
Load More Replies...Omg the pain we all feel looking at this. Not just the repairs, but the cleaning... *shudders*
Not nearly enough drywall screws and bracing to support that much blow in.
Phones aren’t the only electronic devices that are prone to having their life spans cut short, though. According to Secure Data Recovery, 38% of Americans have had to replace a laptop at some point in their lifetime due to one breaking. The most common laptop mishaps include dropping them, spilling a drink on them, cracking the screen, and needing to replace the battery. And these repairs aren’t cheap. On average, Americans spend about $534 on laptop repairs during their lifetimes. Certain states are also more reckless than others when it comes to their laptops, thought. In Nevada, New Hampshire, Maryland, Alabama and Mississippi, over 50% of laptop users admit to having broken one.
Recently Tried An Expensive Rental Clothing Subscription. UPS Threw The Package Of Clothes/Bags Into My Backyard. I Have Two Puppies
What kind of package deliverer sits and thinks: "You know what would be a good solution? Tossing the package over the fence! I definitely can't imagine anything going wrong with this."
We just had a huge 1.5m mirror 'delivered'. They brought it a day early and we were out. Despite it having big stickers on it saying 'Fragile - Glass' they launched it over our 2m tall gate where it landed on our concrete patio. As you can imagine, we are not looking forward to opening it.
Load More Replies...it is a lovely tree and now i want fresh oranges
Load More Replies...It's unfortunate but I get where UPS was coming from. They didn't want to leave it on the porch to get stolen so a lot of delivery people have taken to hiding them. I expect the person who delivered her package was like, this is soft and light, I can toss it over the fence where it'll be safe for thieves, not even thinking about potential misbehaving pets. If there hadn't been puppies, it would have been perfect.
That is the kindest reasoning for the drivers actions. I've also seen where expensive electronics/fragile items have been tossed over a fence with complete disregard for the contents.
Load More Replies...Rental Clothing Subscription? I've heard of clothing subscriptions....but rental?
yeah, i recently heard about this. kinda creepy, i can't wear other people's clothes. too weird
Load More Replies...UPS is crazy. I was absent when delivery was at my home, they took it to a point customers could later pick it up - BUT: the name the driver left was "shop hassan". No adress, no phone number and so on. After an unnerving, hourlong research we found out, he left the package to a man called hassan in a shop - the shop had a totally other name - thankyou ups.I will never have any use for your again-i am old and cannot run around the town to find my packages left on funny named places.
Just mail a note saying "Can't deliver because of the dog(s)" and report it to your boss. Had to do this once when I was a mailman.
Cable Guy Drills A Hole In The Side Of House, Into A Closet, Through A Guitar Case, And Right Through A Martin HD-28V

We had an episode in the summer on a long trip. Had just started driving after a short break a d heard a noice from outside of the car. "Wtf was that?" Oh no. Step-sis had legt her phone on top of the car before we drove. We went back along the road where we heard it fly off to get it. Didn't find it. Made another stop. Checked the car. It had caught her phone in the crack of the lid to the trunk. What are the odds. The phone was completely fine.
If you’re now scared of your laptop meeting an untimely death, it might be useful to be aware of some of the most common mistakes that lead to a broken laptop. According to Make Use Of, laptop users need to be mindful of keeping their devices cool and avoiding situations where they’re exposed to excess heat. Laptops have fans to expel internal heat, but if the fan gets blocked, it can be extremely dangerous. “Some react to this and will shut down automatically. But others will suffer through the heat as they slowly bake to death,” Make Use Of explains. “Furniture, carpets, and blankets are all surfaces that can wreak havoc on a laptop. Wherever you place your laptop, make sure the vent has a clear path to do its job. Even a pile of books that's too close to your laptop can cause problems if the air exhaust is blocked.”
What Could Go Wrong With Putting Solar Panels Near A Golf Course?
As someone who lives near a golf course - wouldn't matter what side of the house the panels were on, they'd get hit by golf balls. We had one hit over our house then bounce back and hit the opposite side of our house.

We got a golfball that hit our windshield and the place didn't even compensate saying it's not their problem even tho we had the golf ball and it was the only golf course 20ft away from the road
Load More Replies...Living near a golf course is like being downrange. Feels like the side of the house facing wants protection.
Was washing dishes, golfball sailed through kitchen window shattering glass and plopped into dish water. Living on top of a hill overlooking golf course poses its threats.
Load More Replies...You put them on the side that's most southerly to catch the rays, not the balls.
Why would anyone buy a house in hitting distance of a golf course??? Although the house was probably there prior to it?
If someone wasn't very familiar with golf, there is no reason they would assume those nets weren't good enough.

20 Minutes After Closing The Sale Of My House The New Owners Sent Me These Photos
The moving company lifted my container too high and smashed through the wall. That siding is no longer produced so the entire house needs to be re-sided.
Years ago I was renting a house. The neighbor had sold his house. The night they closed a tree from my yard fell onto the house, destroying the central air conditioning unit and ripping a hole in the roof above the master bedroom. The new owners had owned it for less than 12 hours and had a structural insurance claim. Apparently if a tree falls on your house from a neighbors yard, it's not their responsibility.
Not their responsibility unless it can be proven that the tree was diseased or dead. Then it's negligence on the part of the tree owner.
Load More Replies...It reads that it was the vendors shipping container that did the damage, while the movers were removing it from the property. So it on the moving company or the vendors insurance....not the new owners
Another potential threat to your laptop is ruining its disk drive. Be careful not to rattle your device too much, or it might take damage and cost you your data. “You can reduce the risk of HDD failure by only adjusting your laptop gently and not moving it when running a program that frequently accesses the hard drive,” Make Use Of writes. “Treat your laptop gently, with no quick movements. Even if your computer has an SSD, you should know the signs of SSD failure to detect problems early.”

This Happened In Blackhawk, South Dakota. 12 Neighbors Had To Evacuate Due To The Discovery Of A Cave That Is 40x40 And 40x60 Deep
Caveners went down to the "Sink" to see what was underground.

Cavener? I haven't heard that one before. I think they mean spelunker?
When I lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, most of the homes (including mine) had mine subsidence insurance. That city and it’s surroundings was heavily mined and it wasn’t unusual to hear of a big sinkhole in someones yard every so often.
Centralia Pennsylvania had a mine that cought on fire in the late seventies, and it's been burning ever since. The whole town has been evacuated as the air isn't suitable for breathing.

Still trying to figure out how it got past the county, engineers, etc who said it was okay to build a subdivision on top of it. No one told these people.

Been Waiting 6 Weeks For A Rather Expensive Toilet So We Can Fit It At A Client's House, It Has Finally Arrived

Had to replace a toilet once drove40 miles to get it got Back home the tank was cracked had to drive back to get a new one. Had the store check open the box and check before I picked up the replacement
Aside from the actual laptop itself, it’s also important to take care of its cords and charger if you want to avoid purchasing any replacements. The cords are typically thin and easy to move, but they can only withstand so much stretching and contorting. “A common form of this issue occurs when someone wraps the cord over some other object to keep it bundled. Sometimes that object has sharp edges, which cut into the cord,” Make Use Of explains. “And this isn't just for obvious blunders like knives; a hard plastic edge is all it takes. In some cases, power adapters will even damage the cable if you wrap the cord around the brick.”
“Avoid this problem by bundling a cord over itself. Most cords come packaged this way when you receive them, and some include a little piece of Velcro you can use to keep the cord together. If your cable doesn't have Velcro, you can buy some yourself for cheap or use an adjustable zip tie. As a fallback, know how to roll a cable in a way that won't damage it.”

New Guy At Work Made An Oopsie
At first glance I thought his pants were down, then I saw it was a shovel. I’m tired.
That happened to me once. It was because of equipment failure though. That and management was making me do a two person job by myself. They regularly cut a four person line to two people. That's how things like this happen. Yes, I'm still bitter.
Companies always layoff at the wrong level. Only once: A manager at IBM was told his department needed to save 100k and he needed to layoff people. He talked to all his subordinates, found out that they each performed an essential job. His job was entirely overhead. So, he fired himself.

A Stray Bullet On New Year's Eve Lands In A Guy's Phone At Beirut Airport
One of the many reasons that countries need to restrict the use of guns
Yup. On most holidays where I live, fireworks are interspaced with gunfire. One time some random dude drove around my neighborhood shooting into the air, and people found bullets lodged in their roofs the next day. The worst part is that these people aren't even from our neighborhood, they just show up here sometimes.
Load More Replies...I like the series "Myth Busters". This is again one of the "myths" they checked: Can a bullet fired up in the air kill a human? It's confirmed as true, yes it can. Confirmed from their test and from real world examples reported from hospitals of people getting killed. So don't fire up in the air ever.
I read a story somewhere about a man who was just talking with his wife outside and suddenly dropped down dead. A stray bullet had dropped from the sky and right into his skull... If you shoot and don't know where the bullet going to land, you ought to be really, *really* ok with killing random people for no reason.

Worked at a big name theme park once, and got to see a practical demonstration on why you shouldn’t ignore the rules to empty your pockets before going on a roller coaster when someone’s lighter came flying off the ride and missed another person by barely an inch, before exploding on the pavement. I thought that was pretty scary. The bullet is way scarier.

My Neighbor Spent A Ton Of Money On A Granite Mailbox Post. They Used An “O” Instead Of A Zero To Make The Street Number. It Annoys Me Every Time I Walk By
My brother and I went to visit a cousin and his wife at their home for the first time. We drove up and down the street looking for number 277, like they'd told us on the phone. Took a couple of passes before we realized that house 211 was indeed 277, but the 7s were rotated such that the bottom stems were vertical, making them look like 1s. We mentioned something about it to our cousin and his wife piped up: "Oh, the house didn't have the number, so we put that up ourselves!" They were so proud.
Yup, parcel delivery woman here. I am aware there are much worse problems in the world but ....grrrr.... Im forced to work with that s**t. Every. F**kíng. Day.

Toddler Learned How To Use The Microwave
A delicious main course of toddler shoe with a side of melted Xbox controller lightly seasoned with batteries
Yeah i woke up one morning to the smell of smoke and found my daughter who was about 4yrs at the time had decided to cook nuggets in the microwave. I found a bubbling, smoking, black mass in the microwave. She used a plastic plate and when I asked her how long she put it in for she said " I put it in for 10, 6, 10, 5 and 20" and I replied "yep that'll do it" lol lucky i woke up
Now, let's see how long it takes parents to learn about safety procedures with a toddler in their lives.
Bought My Husband This Expensive Knife For Christmas... He Put The Knife Through The Dishwasher
My Sister-in-Law bought my brother a super expensive knife set. Proceeded to show him how to clean them and damn near sliced several fingers off. They now have a house rule that all utensils, cutlery, crockery and glassware must be dishwasher-safe.
I have expensive knives and very occasionally I put one through the dishwasher. This never happens. I don't like wooden handles - too prone to split and harbour bacteria - and only good steel blades.
It can be restored pretty easy. Need to oil it after being hand cleaned and sharpened. Don’t lose its temper but the washing machine does dull them.
Don't dishwash your knives, wash them by hand. Somehow you don't have to sharpen them that often by this trick.
My Friend’s 2 Labradors Spent His Stimulus Money While He Was At Work
There is enough of the bills remaining that a bank will replace it with a whole bill.
And if the banks won't there is a program in the US where you can send it in to the government and they will process it for you and send you back the cash. Even if you shred it, they'll spend the time to piece it back together and then send you the cash.
Load More Replies...Well, why did he foolishly leave cash sitting out when he has two dogs who clearly need more stimulation while he’s away?
It didn't have to be left out. The Dachshund of my family in law climbed a chair, scaled a kitchen counter, climbed on top of the coffee machine, opened the door of the cupboard above the refrigerator and stole a cake. No one would have ever thought she could even get there! The whole family accused each other to have eaten the cake without sharing until my MIL caught her doing it again after my MIl made a new cake. Dogs can be quite smart and resourceful and full of mischief. And don't even get me started on cats! My cat stole my signed photo of my favourite celebrity out of the fully closed frame and chewed it. I have no idea what possessed her and drove her to intrude into my vitrine and steal a picture frame.
Load More Replies...If you can match up and tape them together, then your bank will replace them. Don't remember what % has to be there, but matching serial numbers are guaranteed. At least you used to be able to do this
I think it's 51%... i.e. enough of one banknote that such that the remaining bit would *not* suffice for getting a replacement (otherwise, you could multiply your banknotes by cutting them up).
Load More Replies...Why was it cashed and why was it left laying around? I heard that stimulus money was deposited or something into accounts? I didn't get any so I don't know
Because you don't always know which places your pets can reach. And pets can be really strange and sometimes they get it into their little heads to explore the unknown realms of cupboards and chew whatever they find. I have my period products in a locked box in a drawer with a childproof thingie because my cats believe fresh tampons are the best toy ever and I don't feel like sitting in the living room with guests and they pull out a half shredded tampon from beneath the sofa...

How fragile is the glass? Or how hard did you hit it? So many questions
Glass is funny thing sometimes. I was surprised how much a drinking glass from IKEA can survive, it even fell on ground (with carpet). Then somebody put one in another and placed them in shelf too hard and the bottom one exploded. I mean, glass went few meters away. Sometimes you just need to hit it from the right angle and glass just... disintegrate.

Red Wing's 2233 Popular Among Dogs Too
My dog is heavily trained and regularly exercised AND goes to work with me (I work in a vineyard, we walk the equivalent of 3-7 miles most days) and every so often she will still pull bonehead moves like this. She's 9 yrs old and 140lbs. But they are like toddlers sometimes and things happen. Not every dog owner that has this happen is a terrible person. Calm down y'all. There are accidents and you usually are aware it'll happen at some point or another when you have a dog. Just like cat owners know their cat will at some point, knock stuff over on purpose... Usually while staring straight at you too! Lol
"Unlike humans, dogs do not always understand why they're being punished or the consequence of their actions. So depending on how you punish, it could cause a lot of problems such as fear, aggression and sadness in your dog."
That’s why you should just show it to the dog and say “no” or something like that so they learn.

They're also high-quality and SUSTAINABLE. They're made from REAL LEATHER, and they're REPAIRABLE. If the stitching comes undone, that can be fixed. If the eyelets get messed up, they can be replaced. These shoes are made using a technique that allowed the sole to be replaced. They can last YEARS. But ripped leather can't be fixed. Now they have to be replaced. And now he has to deal with breaking in new boots (and real leather boots are harder to break in than other shoes). HOW is destroying these fantastic boots doing someone a favor??? https://www.redwingshoes.com/work/mens/safety-toe/SuperSole-02233.html

I Got More Expensive Cat Food Brands Because I Realized That The Cheaper Brand Wasn’t All That Healthy. The Cat Won’t Eat The Damn Food
You shouldn't serve it in the open can that way anyway...those rims can be sharp, not good that near your cat's tongue and mouth
My cat's vet says that many cats are very conservative in their food habits, and won't touch any new food if it's simply given to them instead of the one they're used to. The trick is to start adding a little of the new food to the old one, gradually reducing the percentage of the old food. It really works with my kitty.
been told by a pet clinic employee cats often dislike those expensive, "healthy" brands, and my cats are a living proof of that - they sometimes protest very loudly when given some "better" brand than their preferred kitty junk food and would rather drink some water to fill their stomachs and sleep through the hunger in the hope of getting something they like better when they wake up
Maybe just the texture. Our cats prefer the paté/mousse style over those chunky parts...
I’ve got a whole arsenal of cat-approved “condiments” for picky phases, if phasing the new food in by mixing it with the old isn’t an option: Purina’s FortiFlora (best bet, but $$$), nutritional yeast, plain unsweetened yogurt, coconut oil, salmon oil (either the kind for pets, or a fish oil capsule and a pin) …
I got a much nicer brand of can cat food but he wouldn't eat it.
And i think, the animal food companies put sometimes really s****y stuff into the food and the animals recognize and they refuse it. Then, they put some attractans into, to make them interesting for the customers to buy, and we are perplexed and claim it to picky animals. When i had pets, i bought and cooked food from scratch, and the pets were doing very well.
What Is More Expensive Than A Pair Of Scissors? A 3-Year-Old With $54 And A Pair Of Scissors

Load More Replies...home cats peeing where they shouldn't, i.e. outside of litter box, means they want to show the owner something is wrong, either some cat trauma or illness, or reacting to mistreatment by owner, or wanting attention (if a female cat - they tend to pee-mark male owner's stuff when in heat)
Perhaps it was a gentle reminder that you're not giving her much attention anymore.
You have several problems: no games, the smell of pee (this isn't the first place your cat has peed, you need to look harder), and your cat is a díck.

The window seat isn't about the window. It's about having something to lean against while you sleep.
Had this years ago. I booked a full travel package. Paid extra for an "essential" (that means, by law, the entire booking being hinged on it), to have window seats both ways on the 9h flight. On the return trip, the airline swapped aircraft, and it was completely booked. No one wanted to change seats. The purser, after being shown the booking, didn't want to do anything. In the end, it cost the airline the entire price of our trip, for both of us, including hotels and car rental.

So, look at Apple as two different products sets: high end, top of the line creative hardware and lame phones with no real innovation except for hues. One is a digital creator’s necessity, the other a perfect example of materialism & status. With all that said, the only viable alternative to my $100 Apple Pencil is a $300 Wacom tablet.
