Our musical tastes largely gel around adolescence, so most of the artists you would connect the most to are slightly older than yourself. At a certain age this does start being a problem for everyone.
The funny thing is, Spud could have been without eyebrows, and almost no one would have noticed. A total edgelord I went to college with shaved half his face and head as a “social experiment” one time, and no one noticed for a few days until he got all pissy and pointed it out.

My parents have a microwave that won’t work unless the clock is set. No one has the patience to figure out how to set the correct time, so it gets reset to midnight every time the power is out. I occasionally debate buying them a new one, but they wouldn’t switch it out until the old one stops working.
I do this at thrift shops. You would be surprised how many people donate coats and purses without checking them thoroughly.
