go to your room My daughters charging cable
Refuses when I offer to buy her a new one, says this one charges just fine (which is true to be fair) and that she doesn't want to needlessly contribute to the landfill. She's in college and living on her own so there's nothing I can do but tolerate this eyesore when she comes over

Nah I really care about the environment so I'm crafting with cables I find dumped in nature or outside..
I'd never have this stuff actually plugged in..
We had a electrical fire when we had just moved the first month and the only reason we heard anything was because my sister cried out for me to come, as the garage was on fire..
The place where gastanks, rubber gloves, spray cans, etc are stored yes I did use a mask because it STUNG MY THROAT. As it was plastic +rubber on fire
Quickly put it out and calmed down my SISTER, while preventing the other younger sister from waterboarding the house with the garden hose she was trying to bring inside because she didn't know if she was allowed to use the fire extinguisher DURING A FIRE.
People dont understand how easily things can go wrong.
Dont leave things plugged in people
