Yes. I rarely print documents, but as a hobby arts and crafter, I do print of lot of stuff for my projects. Screw inkjets, but they do have a really high resolution in photo mode, which is the only reason I haven't ditched my nightmare printer for a laser yet.

My sisters and I would play snap with the Argos catalogue on a regular basis. Then we'd get into squabbles because "I was gonna snap that one!" "That's not fair, I snapped it first!"
My old Lenovo tablet's charging plug has the port upside down, also the tablet itself has the micro USB upside down because of this, so my cable always had to do a little twist when I wanted to charge any other micro USB devices with it.
When I got my USB-C phone, I just swapped the plugs around.
Give me the Necropolis, or give me death!
Hey, that's my family history! How did you get that?
Getting a workplace unionised is an uphill battle here too. Unless your company already has an officially recognised union, no one wants to join. I tell them it's £9.65 a month and they're like, yeah forget it.
What bothers me about where I work is as a bike technician, we actually have the same job title and pay as the till staff who do no skilled work at all. And on top of that, we also have to cover for them (for instance, even though I work in the bike section, I was forced to do car seat training even though the auto section till staff should be the ones doing it). So we're doing skilled work, plus their work and we get the same pay. But no one is interested. They'll grumble and groan, but actually doing something about it is too much to ask.
I've only just got a computer that can play games from 2005 onwards (no kidding my netbook could handle sims 2 at the most). I've also started playing Witcher 3 (got the complete collection for £8) and just bought a controller the other day. I don't care about fancy cutting edge graphics; good storyline and gaming experience is what matters.
Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I'd be paying £16.

Did that, computer temporarily died.
The company I work for insists on almost every damn bit of stock arriving in delivery to be wrapped in a plastic bag. I've complained to management, they just laugh. Apparently I can't have any contact details for head office (not surprising since I'm not even allowed to contact HR directly and have to talk to them via a store manager). That's like 1000+ items coming in twice a week where almost all of it is individually wrapped in a bag.
Not only is it a pointless waste of plastic, but it doubles how long it takes to clear the stock as I have to take everything out of the bag (which is sealed both ends a lot of the time) instead of just putting it straight onto the shelves. I'm almost tempted to set up a twitter account so I can @ them. Almost, but not quite.
My previous employer did the same thing, but at least we had a way to talk to head office and a bunch of us complained so they did remove most of the plastic and started to use a band of paper to hold stock together, or a paper wrapper to protect delicate stuff. They went bust though.
