When I was a teen I wanted to be cool and buy some chains to hang around my belt loops but my mom thought it's too expensive when we looked at them at Hot Topic. Then we were at a pet shop and similar looking chain leads were a fraction of the cost and she got those for me instead lol

Did you upgrade to furry them?

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alas I'm not a furry just an edgy teen. Wasn't even aware of them back then

That's exactly what someone with a $4,000 fur suit in their closet would say

When I was a teen I wore the chain from a hanging houseplant as a necklace. I wasn't goth or anything, just a fucking moron.

I wasn’t goth or anything, ~~just a fucking moron.~~

just fucking cool. Don't let Big Interior Decor tell you what to do with your hanging houseplant chains!

Your mom introduced you DIY.

The second chain on my chain wallet was from PetSmart.

Wanted a litter box for my 12 pound cat. Largest litter box at the pet store was $35.00. Found a bigger, stronger box at the hardware store for $8.00. And it comes with a sealing lid.
