Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Congrats.
When my roommate got his vehicle, I had to soak the key fob in rubbing alcohol for a while and clean it out with a toothbrush before even replacing the battery. Someone before him had apparently dropped it in some sort of sugary drink.
I’m glad it still worked. Those are pricey.
Sad part is that just before I got the new battery, the car alarm went off, and I had to walk to Walmart to go get the new battery.
We were parked at AT&T to pay our Internet bill when it went off. I already had the cleaned out key fob ready, our very next plan was to go to Walmart for the battery, but the damn car alarm went off first, so I had to walk...
Was a fun day! /s
Afaik even most fancy new 'keyless' cars still have a backup key if you're ever in that situation again.
Yeah, this is a 2005 Hyundai Tucson, about as dumb as they get as far as key fobs. You can use that physical key all day long, it still ain't gonna shut the alarm off or allow the vehicle to crank.
