I once threw away an empty plastic water bottle while on vacation. Just before I threw it away I thought to myself: "Maybe I should keep this, it might come in handy. I've been carrying it around all day and it has been supremely useful. Throwing it in the trash as if it was broken or not functional feels like a waste. Let me ask my wife about this." I asked her and she said I should throw it away. I did but first I kept it in my hand while we took a photo so I'd have something to remember it by.

I still think about this often.

It's half of a lime, and it's hard as a rock.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I had a whole lime that ended up as a rock hard mini lime

The sound it made hitting a tile floor was concerning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nope.

Bold of you to assume mine is still yellow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Mine turned green.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Its growing backwards or just moss

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty much a lime then, maybe it'll ripen if you leave it in there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily, when it also grew a fur. xD

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Keep an eye on it. If it tries to move, burn it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Only empty containers or papers; never food.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

It's way too gross now, I'm not touching that!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Actually, it's a bell pepper that looked so red and delicious I couldn't keep myself from buying it.

It's about to drip down onto the beer bottles.

Gross.

Once I had bought and 'forgot' pears in a hanging wire mesh etagere and yeah, the pears loved the wire a bit too much until I finally threw them away. Actually I don't remember if I bought them or someone else.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Grab that half of an onion next to it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Never

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

It's still good. Actually, it's even better now - the flavor has matured.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

wat if i need it tho

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

You will. Because one time, 8 years ago, that exact thing happened to me and therefore I know it's not an irrational worry. 😤

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That half of a lemon that I put in the fridge a month ago? It's now half of a lime!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Wait another month! You'll have a new friend to discuss politics with! :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

One day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Jokes on you it’s on my counter!… it never made it to the fridge.
