I can’t believe this exists: Washboard

I wanted to call this segment as the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot File.

A company will mail you a roll of quarters or two for a fee.

  • $10 worth of quarters costs $14.99 per month
  • $20 worth of quarters costs $26.99 per month

Oh, f*c* it, I’m gonna say this: WHAT THE F*C*!

When I still live in an apartment, I saved up quarters. It was not that hard. As a matter of fact out of habit I am still saving up quarters and other coins.

Faith in humanity, fading slowly…….

Washboard WTF 10 dollars

Washboard WTF 20 dollars

Chris Ziegler (@zpower):

a startup sells $10 in quarters for $14.99. I am peering into the void of my own soul and questioning why we are here washboard.co

John Gruber’s take on Washboard:

If today being National Martini Day hasn’t driven you to pour a stiff drink yet, this will. Jiminy.

4S ≠ S4

I overheard the following conversation somewhere in a hipster-filled restaurant. It went something like this:

Hipster 1: Hey, you got a new phone.

Hipster 2: Yeah, but I’m going to get the S4 as soon as it’s out.

Hipster 1: Why?

Hipster 2: I want to be the first to get it.

Hipster 1: The 4S has been out for years. A lot of people got it.

Hipster 2: (roll eyes) I said S4, not 4S.

Hipster 1: Yeah, a 4S.

Hipster 2: Too many people got 4S. I want an S4.

……. conversation went on and on.

No I didn’t make that up.
