Every year, iPhone releases its signage device with new mindblowing tech, usually novel to the phone ecosystem. But someone thinks it’s just a way of enriching the phone company while fleecing customers who are made to feel like it isn’t trendy if it isn’t the latest.

Nail technicians are the rave of this age which innovative designs capable of hyping one’s fashion currency. But not everyone is fascinated with acrylic and colors. According to one user, “It’s weird how some people have a sword on their fingertips.”

While owning a luxury car is a symbol of status and success, several users say they would instead settle for efficiency that gets them from point A to B in the place of glorified four-wheelers with astronomical prices.

While makeup, for some, is the perfect way to fulfill innate expressions, these commenters say they cannot spend a small fortune on makeup. Cosmetics, one contributor argues, don’t have to be expensive to serve their purpose.

“That reminds me… I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty,” is the words with which one user describes the tone companies often call asking old buyers to buy extended warranties on items.
