Use it then return it in it's original packaging, it's big brain things

Honestly if you're returning a door stop for a refund after using it for a year, it's actually tragic and speaks volumes about student debt.

I have 100% been this poor.

The price of everything from gas to eggs is going up faster than the Artemis rocket, a LOT of people have been or will soon be this poor.

dharmacurious@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 22d

Yup. Honestly, I'm lucky in that I have been poor most of my life, and know how to get by. So many people do not, and it's going to be so incredibly painful for them.

You go in the woods, look for anything that resembles a wedge. There you go, you have your own stopper. No need for robbery.

How is it robbery if you net the conditions of a large corporation?

Those belong to the imps. Youre treacherous coveting of the woods treasure will get you cursed.

TransNeko@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 22d

you are assuming that the teacher/professor didn't buy it.

It also retains it's collector value. Just in case it becomes a collectors item. Who knows these days.

Came to say this. That beer wasn't going to pay for itself

For sale: brand new door stop in packaging, never used.

No low ballers, I know what I've got.

The traction might be hindered overall, but I don’t see the door closing.

If it looks stupid but it works...

Just use a spoon from the cafeteria like a civilized person would

Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 22 pts · 22d

Bruh, its a door stop. Its stopping the door. Mission accomplished.

Plus you preserve it for future collectors.

Don't want to get it dirty, it might be worth something some day.

nexguy@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 23d

You have to get a packaged door stop protective sleeve. I have an affiliate link...

Seems like something I would do just to post a picture to my dumb friends on IRC.

Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app · 10 pts · 23d

Hey it works and it keeps it clean!

This could be to avoid scuffing the floor

victorz@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 23d (2 replies)

Rubber stop, tile floor. I imagine it's the stop that would get scuffed. πŸ˜…

LostCarcosan@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 23d (1 reply)

Rubber stop could totally leave marks on the floor

victorz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d

Hold on, scuffing is not scraping. Never mind. πŸ˜…

When I lived in a dorm, we used to hold doors open by attaching them with a coat hanger to the dresser

Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 22d

When I lived in a place with doors we would do what ever the fuck we want because life's short.
