Here I am, writing this post when I should be finding those stupid receipts for filing my claim. In case you cannot make it up from the image, the smart TV broke while I was setting it up on my wall.

Meanwhile, my grandmas whirlpool TV only needed a slap on the back to start working again. It must have a warranty, but there was no need to use it. It was so durable that it survived 2 decades and three house shiftings. Fun times!

I genuinely think modern TVs are built to be replaced, not repaired... no wonder extended warranties became a thing. You cannot prove me wrong.

I bought a cheap electric toothbrush online and the site genuinely asked if I wanted to add a protection plan.

For a toothbrush.

Not gonna lie, the idea of filing a warranty claim because my toothbrush “stopped performing as intended” made me laugh so hard my cheeks started aching.

We’ve reached a point where EVERYTHING comes with protection now.

I once saw a furniture store offer an extended warranty on a dining chair against “unexpected structural failure.”

Brother if the chair suddenly gives up during dinner, I have bigger problems than reimbursement.

At this rate I’m expecting coffee shops to ask:
“Would you like oat milk and a beverage protection plan in case emotional damage occurs?”😂😂😂😂😂

What’s the weirdest thing YOU’VE seen someone offer a warranty on?

So I bought an HP OmniBook 3 recently and somehow ended up in a situation where I might be able to get two warranties on it.

One is the regular manufacturer warranty, and the other is one of those extended protection plans.

Now my question is… is this actually allowed? At the same time? Or will HP agents detect the multiple warranty???

Like if my laptop dies, do the warranty companies fight each other Pokemon style... deciding who pays?

“YOU handle the motherboard.”
“No, YOU handle the motherboard.”

Genuinely curious if anyone’s done this before or if I’m accidentally creating the most protected laptop in human history.

Back in the Xbox 360 days, consoles were dying left and right with the legendary “Red Ring of Death.”
And instead of pretending nothing was wrong, Microsoft basically went:

“Yeah… we messed up.”

Then they extended the warranty from 90 days to 3 years and reportedly spent over $1 billion fixing consoles.

Imagine Microsoft doing that today instead of saying “Have you tried restarting your console?”

Honestly though, how many companies today would actually take responsibility for a product failure at that scale? 👀
