Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

One time I found a solid plastic suitcase in an alley and couldn't resist opening it to see what it was. It was a dummy just like this but for intubation (I think). It was brand new with all the accessories still in plastic

I sold it for $1200....but not before hiding it in the fridge for my roommate to find

So you sold a lost, expensive educational equipment..?

You're right. I hadn't considered the possibility that someone might have accidentally lost their expensive medical dummy next to the dumpster in the alley on garbage day. What a fool I was!

Sorry, misunderstood. ngl I was very jealous.

Don't be jealous, that alley paid my rent while I was unemployed so it's not like I did anything fun with the money lol
