This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

This is why you hardwire the dashcam.
Probably for the best - since the accident was probably little bro's fault.
Who else had a older sibling buy a car for them (You) ?
My parents bought mine, which I inherited from my older siblings (we shared the third car). It was a pile of crap and was older than all of us kids. In fact, after the first and second ones died (never drove the first, only drove the second for a few months), the third (the one I used the most) cost $150...
My siblings helped me with them though, so I think it counts.
I recently got an email reminder to pay for a toll via an e sticker thingamabob on my car.
Problem: My car got stolen over a year ago.
The good news is that the thief has been taking good care of your car.
...of his car.
*their car
Should have given him a phone charger
Well if they're lucky then their idiot brother won't be making that mistake again.
Yeah, what idiot blocks the charging port (cigarette lighter) and doesn't give an alternative? That's expected behavior if you think about it at all.
Literally the first accessory I got with my dashcam was a lighter plug with 2 ports so both can be running at the same time.
Narrator: They weren't lucky.
Why do they only have one working car port anyway?
The better question is why were they using the car port? Most dashcams come with power adapters to plug into a standard fuse box and can be very easily routed through interior panels with basically no tools, no permanent modifications, and absolutely no expertise required.
Absolute worst case, a local garage will almost definitely do a fitting for less that £50 and it's worth it to avoid this exact thing happening.
Most cars, especially older ones, only have one cigarette lighter. How many cigarettes could you possibly need to light?
All of them.
The cigarette lighter port is not a great connector because of how big it is, and it's pretty inconsistent when it turns off between cars (never does in 2007 Škoda Fabia). I replaced the dashcam adapter's contacts with wires and installed it in the fusebox (accessible when driver door is open), branching off the headlight adjustment servo fuse. No loose cables anywhere.
Both of my dash cams came with a dual port adapter
Yay! There are dual USB adapters. And the system puts out lots of wattage
"lots of wattage" is debatable
As bad as this is, just be glad that the last word of the greentext isn’t “vape”
Yep. My fam does the same thing.
Anything expensive, a kid should earn. No way to appreciate value otherwise. First car? Kid has to earn it. Doesn't matter if it's a sweetheart 0% interest loan - they need to make payments.
This is why I give my children a bill for the past year on each birthday, starting from their first. Those deadbeat ingrates still owe me hundreds of thousands.
That's what they get for hiring the first parents who ask for the job.
I have a friend who eventually had to go no contact with his parents because of his abusing mom. She then started trying to harass him with what looked like lawsuits to make him pay back all the money they’d spent on him over the years. Still had receipts from the Chick-fil-A they bought him for lunch when they moved him into college a decade earlier, things like that.
That's mental mental chicken oriental
This is your brain on Chick-Fil-A.
What I never got about that chain is why a Christian fundamentalist fast food chain has a name that is essentially a sexual innuendo.
........ok, I'm the most giggly at even the most obscure sexual references. You can't even talk about putting things in a box without me mentally giggling.
That being said....what's the innuendo?
Ha ha! In you end-o! It's buttsex!
Is it, though?
