I guess that we aren’t going to get a bitter Q&A session on Screenwave. So instead, enjoy this video about an old refrigerator.
She got this thing from some guy and she gives the website. I’m actually intrigued. I’ll check it out.
Fuck. I don’t know. It’s some heavily-tattooed douchebag from “The West Coast” who does artsy bullshit with old cars and whatnot. No prices on anything. No descriptions. Just Instagram pictures. What a way to run a business.
That guy just lost a customer. Back to the video.
0:30 – She describes her husband’s grandfather (I think) as “Pops”. It’s REALLY annoying. First of all, the man has a name. Secondly, he’s not my pops. Thirdly, he’s not your pops. So why are you saying this?
Why be this informal? It’s disrespectful to this man and makes you sound like a complete imbecile. What’s wrong with, “My husband’s grandfather”?
Then she talks about “Jason’s brother”. Who are these people? I think Jason is her husband but I don’t know. We’re just supposed to know the names of everyone in Super Retro Gal’s life? I don’t even know her name.
3:15 – A time-lapse video of some people renovating the kitchen to get this refrigerator to fit in there.
Oh…this is really dragging on.
5:15 – It’s finally over. I don’t even know what they did. What changed? I saw people working but on what, I don’t know.
Then she just shows the refrigerator. It has like a counter in it.
I mean, whatever. I’m down. It’s cool to get retro appliances. I don’t have any issue with that. And the video was watchable. I was mildly interested.
But she’s an awful person.
Let’s check out her Twitter, I guess.

It’s really cute that I just got a $200 invoice in the mail for benefits that I specifically called and said I didn’t need. Any other laid-off Dis CM’s receive anything like this?
That reminds me. Years ago, I was unemployed so getting benefits. Isn’t it still called “welfare” in the US? Maybe Super Retro Gal was referring to some kind of company benefits like vacation time and dental insurance and whatnot.
Anyway, I was getting money from the government to pay for my rent and like £70/week to cover all other expenses. This was during a period where I wasn’t working.
But then I found a job. So, as required, I contacted them and told them about my new job and that they should stop the payments.
Nevertheless, they sent an additional cheque for like £1200. I did my part so I didn’t bother correcting them. And maybe I was owed it, I don’t know. Who am I to question them? But nobody ever asked for the money back.
There was another time where the tax people just sent me a cheque for overpaid taxes from YEARS earlier. I was paying a higher tax rate because I didn’t have a national insurance number at the time or I just didn’t want to bother doing my taxes properly because I only worked at these places for a short time anyway.
So yeah, one day a cheque just arrived. And it was for a fairly substantial amount. I didn’t ask for it and I didn’t even know that I was owed the money.
I can’t imagine such things happening in the US.
