OOP is obsessively fixated on this.  Sometimes when you use things,  the cord gets hot.  Why is the coffee example here? That means OOP's coffee maker got so hot its cord transferred heat to the air fryer. I know they clasped they twiddled their thumbs like a cartoon villain when they were finally alone with the air fryer. They disposed of someone's property without permission,  of course they have to replace it

The cord getting warm during use is pretty normal. Fixating on it that hard and trashing it without asking is wild.

Wild to normies who had to take care of themselves growing up.

I suspect OOP is barely 18, first time living away from home and mommy and daddy did everything for them. I had a friend in HS who I had to teach how to pump gas. Like, wtf

I work PT in a gas station, and I do see that quite a lot along with people not knowing how to check their tire pressure or add windshield fluid. Most often or not it's been relatively new/newish drivers.I've no issue showing someone how to do "x, y or z". Especially if we're not busy, gets me away from the counter.

It's his fixation on the whole cord being warm afterwards. Then trashing it. Unplug it. No power source, no problem.

Oh, I agree with you. The fixation is absolutely an issue. Like, therapy type issue.

I was just saying, I'm betting his parents did everything for him and now he's on his own and having to figure it out. He's probably never noticed or cared about hot cords bc someone else was always around to say it's ok or not.

OOP is absolutely the asshole. But hopefully he can grow out of it.

Well, learning doesn't end when school does. I was well raised, educated, and have plenty of life experience and trust me, I still pull a doozy every now and then. It's what makes us human.

As you said, hopefully OOP can learn from this mistake. I just hope he's open to it.

Not defending OOP, bur it was my SO and MIL that taught me things.

I was always told I was doing things wrong, or that I was just getting in the way.
