I run a pub for many years and every week the same blind couple use to come in and ask us to read the menu out to them, It got to the point where i ordered some menus in braille for them. However they still wanted us to read the menu out to them and guess what they ordered the same food and drink every week, we use to put the order through as soon as they sat down , by the time we read the menu their food was ready.
My drawer contains scart leads, batteries (some dead, some alive), old remote controls, instructions for various tv's, videos, and DVDs from the last 25 years, and the shirt i wore on my last day at school that my year and a few teachers signed when i was 16... I'm 44 lol.
I actually do have a Nokia 3310 mobile phone in my man drawer, it was my very first mobile phone, it's so tactile to handle, fits very neatly in the hand, great little phone!!😂😂😂
What about the charging cable’s that you put in neatly wound up now they’re wound round everything you pull them and half of the contents of the drawer comes out with them
@5:48 OMG this video made me feel pathetic! I still have all the IKEA tools i got! I do feel the fizz when a tape measure is retracting! I have foreign currency in my drawer. I still have my old iPad 1! I have old batteries, and countless number of key sand i don't know what they're for!!! I feel bad... EDIT: OK, i went into my drawer. I found a bill for a sofa that i bought before the sofa, that i bought before the sofa that we have now. And then, i found some bills that were so old, they've gone blank! I'm seeking a therapy group...
My husband, an electronic engineer, tries to turn every one of our drawers into a man draw. It's a full time job throwing all his rammel away! Half of the stuff I don't even know what it is, just a million wires, screws and little bits of plastic stuff 😂😂😂
Man drawer? Wonder who owns the drawer in my house that contains: one pink foam hair curler, an expired coffee points card, tubes of dried makeup, one shoelace, and the handle that once operated the drawer it lives in?
It's ok for you , at least you don't have metric and imperial tools and bolts mixed in there . Cleverly observed and true for most of us Michael's comedy is well worth a watch .
In the UK there are a few companies that strip scrap and crashed cars of any reusable parts, whole undamaged body panels, lights and put them in their warehouse/s, you can look these up on line and buy them. Cables ect are separated in to metals and remainder is crushed or shredded, some machines will shred and separate metals at same time. I'm sure you have them in US
I don't have 9 AAA batteries in my drawer... What I do have however is a removable, rechargeable battery and charging dock for a camera that broke about 15 years ago...
Michael's routines simply point out that we are creatures of habit, both good and bad. Many people, myself included, are very good at acquiring articles but not at using them regularly or parting with them (example, I love wine but I have lived alone for 40 years, so why do I need 32 wine glasses?). My "man draw" has had an offspring, "man junior draw", which contains the more recently acquired "necessary items". It also has a "brother man draw" at my Mother's house. Combined, my two, contain probably well in excess of one hundred items. However, as I am virtually useless with any attempt at fixing or replacing anything, there are only for items that get used, a hammer, black electrical tape and two (out of about 16) screwdrivers. There are two others but they are used for only one aspect of their intended purpose, as playing "gunslinger" with two retractable measuring tapes is way more fun than determining lengths with them.
How much money Scrapyards make, depends upon the current prices of Metals. Also they make money from stripping cars and selling the parts at exhorbitant prices. There are even some who will rebuild the cars and sell them. Remember that if the cost of repairing your car is 60% of the current value (not sure what the current percentage is), then the insurance companies will scrap it, write it off, "Totalled". That doesn't mean that it can't be repaired, just the insurance company don't consider it profitable. Let's just say that Scrappies make enough money to pay their and their employees wages
Batteries in the trash!!!!! No. No. No. Don't you recycle them? In the UK we can take our batteries to the supermarkets and recycle them. Same with printer ink cartridges, light bulbs, water filter cartridges. Plastics most of them at home, metal cans, cardboard and paper. Garden waste as well. Just started recycling food waste once a week. The council comes round and collects them on certain days.
Whatever you don't store used batteries in the drawer they mostly melt but they do on the odd occasion cause fire. Recycle them. Think we all guilty of hording unwanted bits and bods think my worst is electric kettles that no longer work. But this is the good side of human madness
Did you know that you can buy an Alkaline Battery Recharger, it does it by pulsing the charge. I have AA & AAA batteries that are well old and I recharge. I think you are only supposed to do it once, but it works fine. Most AA & AAA Batteries are 1500mv, I will keep recharging until they are around 1100mv or less then it is not worth it and they can be thrown.
I don't have any AA or AAA batteries :( I do have about 120 18650 lithium batteries lying around in boxes though. I should probably do something with them
A scrapyard makes money striping items from totalled cars, or getting the prospective buyer do it. It's money for nothing. You crush it when it's literally got no value other than the raw steel it's made of... You'd be surprised how much is recoverable, and therefore a cheap (for the buyer) replacement. You might have decent tyres, good wheels, electronics, dash or instruments, that costs hundreds from mainstream suppliers.
