    I found out that I could disassemble my vacuum’s dirt container further so I can clear it out easier. The container has a big plastic tube that runs through it and I’ve been squeezing my hand around it to grab clumps of pet hair that get stuck. The other day while I was trying to clear the container, the plastic tube fell out. Turns out I just needed to twist and pull the tube. I’ve had this vacuum for 8 years.

      Lmao nice. Here’s a similarly embarrassing story: my refrigerator light was burned out and I was too lazy to replace it for a few years. When I finally got around to it, it turned out I had the exact replacement bulb in my possession the entire time 🤦. Ofc replacing it also only took ~30 seconds.

        Aren’t you supposed to turn fridges off when doing that to avoid potential shock
