Flip that middle seat upside down and you could squeeze in another inch or two.



edit: Flip it to face backwards too and you might buy an inch or two front-and-back at the same time.

The trick when someone starts asking about how safe particular places are or talking about how unsafe that area is is to do a mental substitution of “white” for “safe.” That’s usually what they are trying to find out.

So my question is if the guy didn’t know what instantink did...did he think the inkjet fairy was mailing him printer ink every month? I guess he could have used his printer so infrequently that he went a year without having to replace a cartridge but those lovely printers go thru a lot of ink so it would be unlikely.

He was trying to scan, not print. HP remotely disabled the scanner function because he halted his ink payment.

At least they didn't physically slice off the fat and muscle from your body and literally suck the poo poo out of your rear end in a top hat, bud. That's just business as usual

That seems a little extreme, making you purge into a Blue Apron-branded bucket would be more feasible.
