I wear Propets, usually, but only in the house, and to the backyard to make weather observations for the Weather Service on the weekends.
Another truly horrible day with wind and rain. I had hoped to go for a ride after work to test drive my new tyre but I didn't fancy it.
I cleaned my kitchen cupboards after work. I ventured out for a walk then and ended up giving two guys help to push start a Mercedes but it didn't want to go. Know idea what was up as neither of them seemed to speak English.
Famed German reliability not much in evidence.

Run out of petrol?
It was their car, and you can't be done for helping them to knock it!

It's actually far more nuanced than that tbh. Well, from my perspective it is, anyway.
I mean I've cleaned out cupboard staples like tinned tomatoes or chickpeas, or packs of rice and the like in the green bins, as it's stuff I use regularly, and know I can get to the bottom of or has a long shelf life. Fresh stuff? No, not really. You have to be realistic. Also, I'll only take stuff if the stickered price is less than what I'd normally buy full price. There are a few exceptions, e.g. premium items like fancy cheeses, high welfare meats, the posh free range eggs and the the like - where it's worth breaking your spending rules some.
Mind you, when it used to be more of a smash-and-grab, you'd take stuff just to piss off the regulars you didn't like!
However, my late father *would* do that sort of thing. Most memorably, he once came home with 53 raspberry yoghurts. We couldn't get them all in the fridge. And yes, it was quite some time before I could bring myself to eat a yoghurt again.
Yeah, I'll admit that sometimes it really does pain me to leave stuff on the shelf, especially if it's a really good buy. But it's not a good buy if it just ends up being thrown away.
They'd hardly be trying to start it if there was no petrol.

Maybe they didn't realise some cars still require petrol putting in them from time to time.
I know of one person who couldn't get his car going, due to no petrol in the tank. He seemed genuinely unaware that it required some putting in on a regular basis.
His car ownership days weren't long.
