I’ve met a few of you in person so I’m not completely anonymous but for the masses I’ll hide behind my anonymity.
So I’m cheap. I have a good job and am a decent provider but I’m still cheap.
I wanted some AirPods so I decided to buy them via Craigslist. The first pair I bought were fake (whole other story) so I was intent on buying some real ones.
I found a legit pair for $60. I ran the serial number, synced them to my phone and all was well. One caveat, they were gunked up with ear wax. But being a cheapo and not a 🦠 germaphobe I still bought them and cleaned them up the best I could.
However, I noticed that one was louder than the other and so I Googled how to fix. There was one common solution...suck the part that goes into the ear until there’s air flow. 😱
I was in line at chick-fil-a with a spicy deluxe on queue when I read the suggested remedy to suck out the gunk/dust/wax. So I knew the taste wouldn’t last long and any germs/nastiness that went into my mouth would die via pepper jack cheese power.
I can attest that the remedy worked and the sound is now fab.
The best part was telling my wife the story and chasing her around the house for a kiss.
