Unicorn Magnum Pepper Mill. Works great. All other pepper grinders are crap in comparison.

Get your boyfriend/husband to help you with it while you go shopping for a new purse.

Get a Stihl. Mine is like 10 years old.


Yep

Spend 350 dollars on a commercial Stihl and they last over a decade or spend 120 dollars on a “cheaper” one and buy a new one every 2-3 years.

Weedeaters are tools you don’t skimp on

My ex-wife had one that looked similar to that. I never understood why she kept it in her panty drawer though.

Exceeds: the $25 Remington razor I bought from Walmart 7 years ago. Thing still works like a champ and gives me a better shave than the $70 Phillips I bought last year.

Disappointing: any Apple product aside from the iPhone.

Unless you cut grass for a living, I'd like to hear a reasonable explanation for why you need a gas powered trimmer.

Products that exceed your expectations. Products that don't work worth a frick.


Product/Services that exceeds expectations:

Iphone - I depend on this a lot every day.
Metra - so much better than driving/parking
Chevrolet Silverado - Awesome, reliable rig despite being from American brand.
Lawn Service - Better and faster than expected...can't believe we didn't do this sooner.
POTUS (current) - way better than expected
My new gas grill is awesome (Char-Broil 4 burner).

Products/Services that meets expectations:

Starbucks - Solid but their regular coffee kind of sucks
2018 Volvo SUV - We've had a couple of issues with interior rattles that have been repaired.

Product/Services that fails to meet expectations:

LSU Football Coaching
LSU System leadership
Most things bought from Trader Joe's
Nearly all "journalists"
Everything at Tim Horton's - Tries to be Starbucks and Dunkin, but is worse than both.

Exceeds:
-The OB made me go buy a Fenix PD35 flashlight. Goddammit if it isn’t one of the best things I’ve ever bought. It’s adjustable brightness goes from modest to absurdly bright and it’s damn near indestructible.
