So... I've always been a hoarder, the kind to keep things "just in case".

That story happened yesterday. Back 20 ago, when I got my first flat, I bought some cheap tools, including a series of sockets. The tool going with the sockets is long gone, but somehow I kept the sockets through 6 moving house, even if I had better quality tools by now.

So, yesterday I decided to fix the dryer, that was just the belt, sounds easy enough. Boy I was wrong, this was total hell. Anyway, why disassembling almost everything from that hellish appliance, I realised my sockets couldn't fit to reach a single screw, so I went through my Smaug hoard and found it, a 7mm socket slim enough to reach the screw. So I went, finished the job I shouldn't have started, and was bragging that hoarding was finally useful.

Well turns out something broke when changing the belt, the dryer worked for a few minutes before turning silent forever.

Tldr : after 20 years I finally had a use for a tool hoarded, only to ultimately being useless.

So...

Recently, I rented a house with my gf for 2 weeks. As often in that case, we tend to have more snacks (like peanuts, cashew...) and I found this cute little bowl shaped like a cat, so I used it.

It's only when I cleaned it that I saw "Kibbles for you" on the other side. Yeah, now I understand why the cat shape.

And that's the end of my not-life-changing story.
