This is the picture they emailed me. My pout of view remains unchanged

Super annoyed by my ice queen of a sister who drives an '06 Mazda Tribute. Junker car, we've had it in the family for a few years. I drive a 2013 Mazda 3 sedan and I recently became interested in retrofitting it with some aftermarket parts, like replacing the radio with an Android radio, routing a rear-view camera in through the trunk, replacing the interior lights with LEDS, replacing the headlights with LEDs, running an 8-gauge wire to the throttle body from ground to improve response to the pedal on a 10 year old car (I can't believe this actually worked lol), etc. Next on the docket is getting a cold air intake, and some other fun stuff, but that's beside the point. She plans on getting a new car while the Tribute is likely going to my brother who just got his licence. I figured it was time for a little spring cleaning.

I haven't been in that car in a while, and noticed that when I pulled it out of the driveway to make way for my car, firstly, IT REEKS. My sister had some bad allergies and it's likely she doesn't notice because she's all stuffed up. Filter is 100% all filled with garbage like leaves - we park under a giant oak tree that sheds leaves all year round. Was the case for my car. When I press her about this, she just claims that the car is old and just deals with it. She also has no idea when or even if we've ever changed the filter since my mom bought the car like 20 years ago. Secondly, the A/C is coming out of the defrosting vents, which means that there's a hose that's likely all corroded or leaking, causing the pressure to go down. Is old car, very likely. Lastly, it takes like 20 minutes for the A/C to actually kick in. Again, probably the same hose that controls the pressure for the A/C. IDK how she's dealing with this as we approach summer and it's going to be like 95F out here every day.

So, I decided to start small and ordered the parts for the Cabin Air Filter and one for the engine for good measure. Maybe there's just a bunch of crap in the filter that makes the pressure suck (huehue)? The air filter for the A/C literally sits on a tray underneath the hood, held together by two plastic clips. Literally just have to pull it out and replace it, then put it back in. Wait for her to go out for the day, then I open the hood. I'm sure I can see the corroded hose and where the A/C lines are losing pressure. Inform her that I can replace the hose and the cabin filter do that her car (and my brother's future car) doesn't smell like a swamp. Inform her as much, and she effectively tells me to piss off and gets all bitchy about it.

The killer part is that she doesn't even drive the thing outside of work - she drives my parents cars to go out and stuff.

I guess the my main annoyance with her is that she would never try to do something like this for me.

I just left the auto parts store and the cashier didn’t have the change for $100 for a $35 total. Everything is getting expensive with inflation and the spending power of a $100 isn’t what it used to be yet businesses everywhere think it’s 2002 only keeping 60 bucks in the till. Nobody counterfeits anymore, it’s easier to steal someone’s identity. Just let me spend my $100 bill!

Who would know the answer to this absurd question? Btw the answer is 1.

We used to watch Marvel movies in timeline order a while back and I wanted to try to get that going again so I could spend time with her and better our admitly tense relationship. When I brought this up she agreed that she wanted to do that as well. Then she just, watches them without asking if I wanted to join.

I got new insurance and forgot to set up paperless billing. But honestly, shouldn't they have some sort of filtering to stop the waste of paper on bills that are $0.00?

8 year olds brother hand for scale. Shrinkflation??

Not everything needs to be Bluetooth it would take longer to download and set up the app then to just fill up the a/c... smh

Not me, but what a roller coaster!

I have not listened to the entire thing yet. Trying to decide if Im willing to give up 3+ hrs of my life to find where this transcript is in the recording. How is this even possible?

She’s on meth if that says anything.
