Pete, I am sure your heart was in the right place but you empowered him to continue his lifestyle at the cost of others. Sorry I lost it when he said he wasn't begging but then continued to beg. I've been broke, I get it, sometimes we need a hand, but this guy was just full of bad choices.
Focus isn’t on whether HE was pulling a fast one on you, the focus is on YOU and the good deed you just did. Paying It Forward. You are a good man Pete regardless of what Honey says about you. 😇
@ Michael Shotwell I am not slamming you. This is not a good deed or paying it forward. This guy is a scammer. He is probably on some type of illegal drug. I think Pete is a stand up guy but he messed up on this deal. Again not slamming your thoughts.
Yep, no disrespect at all but this guy is obviously a drug addict. YOU DO NOT BEG LIKE THAT FOR SMOKES AND GAS. YOU JUST DON'T. P.S. ex heroin addict of 20 years here so I have a bit of inside knowledge of the behavior 😉
@@urge3v $30 for a gram of heroin is too good to be true, most likely a half gram. But think about it like this, he said he needed 2 packs of cigs for $17, and the rest for gas to get home. So he needs $13 in gas (4 gallons) to get home? And he riding a motorcycle?! How far away does this guy live!!! Lies!!
You are a better man than me, I woulda passed on all that. I've been in Chicago for a long time and see this kinda stuff almost every day. If I gave in to everyone that pulled this, I wouldn't be able to pay my own rent. That being said, sometimes there is somebody that really needs it more that you. How do you differentiate the real needy and scams? You don't, there is no way to tell and sometimes you just gotta be a good person and give back. You are a good person, love you, love your vids. Peace
The older man in the purple was super precious. He acted how you should act, and was very polite. Just had to get rid of things. Reminded me of my paw paw. ❤️
This is a gem of a channel that I just randomly stumbled across. This guy is brilliant and such a good guy. I'm addicted to it already! It's like watching pawn Stars but without all the reality show drama. Just a real life pawn shop, in a real life town, with wholesome real life interaction 👍 great stuff man keep up the good work!
Pete would be broke and no one would have anything. That's the deal, these lazy, useless people living on those that are trying to do right. This country if full of those losers.
Doesn't matter if he was scamming you or not, you followed your heart and stayed true to yourself. Honestly, I think you have some of the best instincts when it comes to dealing with people.
Pete I've been watching you for a long long time. What you did at the end there made me tear up. You are an amazing human being. I hope to be able to meet you someday if I ever get out that way again. I lived not far from your shop for years but not sure if you were around when I lived out that way. God bless you brother! The world needs more people with a heart like yours.
No disrespect but the guy was an addict. You don't beg like that for smokes and gas. You just don't. The guys dealer won't take anything but full price for whatever amount of (most likely heroin) this guy wants to buy with that money. He wanted to get his normal amount from the dealer without arguing about being short. Then he wanted to stop and get smokes cause you can't shoot up heroin without having a nice tasty cigarette afterward. I know. Ex junkie.
Was it a nice act? Yes. Was the guy probably a junkie? Yes. It's a good title, and a good ending for a subscription bait. But, at the end of the day he is just enabling him unfortunately. I don't believe I've seen many videos where he does anything like that though, hm.
Just saw this one today, fun to see one of our old videos featured! All of our Signature Series Pops are featured on Pop Price Guide/HobbyDB now with trending values. You offered a fair price at the time.
My sister had that suitcase set in green. Got it in 1965 for graduation. Her initials were just like raised adhesive pieces of metal. Then her third year at MSU someone stole the whole set. Things like that stick in your head as a younger sister.
I hope the day never comes that I’m aggressively begging another man to help me out. That interaction was bizarre and I felt like the help was given out of a bit of fear. Justified fear
When someone acts like that they do it all the time! That guy acts like that all the time to people and guilt trips them and begs them and then like you said he might even get a little angry or aggressive until he gets over on Everybody Talks to! How much you want to bet all that crappy talked about wasn't even his! His son was probably the one working and dad was the bum just hanging out! But seriously somebody who does that they do it all the time! Have you ever had a crackhead come up to you for money? They act just like this and they do it to everyone! How much you want to bet that 30 bucks was for drugs and he's already whined and cried to his drug dealer so many times that he knows he had to have that extra $5 because the drug dealer wasn't going to give him three for $25 because the guy is always begging and pushing and guilt tripping for more.. come on just a little bit more come on please just 50 cents let me get a dollar! Oh you gave me 10 thanks man can you give me 15 I'll come on man I really need it let me get 15! Guarantee this guy does that to everyone and feels absolutely no shame about it
tbh i hate people like these. His son pays 1400$/month, he can't stop his bad habits to make ends meet and puts his problems on everyone else. I had issues too, i had to cut down on expenses, put everything on food and rent and worked min wage to make things work. Never begged people for money
@@cogs11 I hear you, I got into a fairly bad work injury in 2013 that resulted in 4 surgeries. I went from making $75,000 per year to making $11,500 per year on disability. I had to cut down on major expenses. I sold all my power tools I used for work. The guy says he is not begging for that extra $5.00 but he would not shut up about it for 10 min. Everyone has issues. It is how you look at it.
Agreed, and not only disrespectful to Pete, but to all the other disabled folks like myself who would never use their disability as an opportunity to 'profit'. It was disgusting, actually. Pete's got a good heart - this guy took advantage of him, in my opinion.
I loved seeing Honey and Ruby at end of last video. THANK Y0U so much. I would love to see them in each video at least for a minute or two. Honey looks so comfortable in her bunk bed. Adorable when the covers are pulled up to her head. Both adorable.
Pete, you're a hero. The way you handled the end of the video was absolutely top tier. I thought they were being a little funny, but as the story went on I just felt sad for them. "I died that day" is a rough statement to hear. I know this is an older video but I've been binging a ton of them - thanks to you and the crew :) Is it Pyotr or Pyrobr?
pete ive been into pawn shops since 1992 and loved wheeling dealing,one thing i noticed your very good at spotting a good deal and dealing with scammers,im sorry the one dude with the motorcycle helmet really has no idea how owning a pawn shop is a tough job,all sorts of people you deal with.
I can't stand a beggar. I wouldn't have given him anything if he didn't take my offer of $25. Especially considering that $20 was more than fair. You know he's not gonna come back and live up to his word. But, he'll surely come back looking for another hand-out for some junk he finds in the trash or snagged out of a goodwill donation bin.
At face value, i had trouble believing him, but the more i watched the video, the more legit he seemed. Literally reminds me of the first Rocky films (1 and 2) where theres dialog in between. Old generation that just seems down on his luck.
@@starboy5177 it's not about luck at this point. it would be if he was 20, maybe even 30, he just needs money for drugs, I doubt he'll buy cigarettes at all I hate the way he begs and pushes always more even when he gets half of he asked, he put himself in shitty situations and blames the whole world but him for it, and lies to try to get his way
But hey hes got two rental properties a bike worth thousands and makes more in disability than someone killing themselves in some shit retail job. 1300 biweekly you'd have to make like 20 bucks an hour full time before taxes to make that.
Still gave gim the 30 , and im pretty sure he knew it wasent for cigs and gas pete u are a great man i hope everything u do for ppl comes back to you 100 times better
Wow, you're alot better than me. I did the pawn shop game for a little while and dealt with folks like this last one far more than I ever cared to. When I was nice to someone like this however and they kept pushing after I caved in just a little, I ended the deal right then and there and told them to keep their stuff and that I didn't want anything. I was honestly hoping you were going to do the same here.
Wish these people would stop thinking Peter is a Salvation Army or an ATM. Everyone has issues and are doing it tuff, but Pete is a businessman and has a family of his own and miles of bills to pay as well.
"Have a heart" really.. I wish you stood strong with the dude, because blatant manipulation like that doesn't deserve a reward. Downright insulting what he was doing here. I know it's hard to stay tough while you're in the situation though, so can't blame you. Sorry you have to deal with these people. Has the nerve to say "I'm not begging" afterwards too. If that's not begging then I don't know what is.
That last person deserves no sympathy at all. "I used to make $150K a year." Then kept talking about a $1400 a month payment on a 625hp Shelby mustang that he was making payments on for his son. " My son does not have to work. When I die my son will be taken care of." Then he talked about some high dollar "jewish" properties THE WWII HELMET HAS HAND DECORATED UNIT CRESTS. This could or could'nt have been made up. Just look up U.S. ARMY UNIT CRESTS.
That was most likely addiction to cigs and drugs. My guess it started it’s pills after his accident which made him loose everything he had. Now he need $20 for H and $10 for smokes.
@@joshallen7169 scary thing is he says two packs of Marlboro’s and ten for gas. I don’t care where you are in Illinois you ain’t getting two packs of smokes and ten for gas. I’d like to know where he shops.
@@joshallen7169 i would agree but i'm not sure you can even get a pack of smokes for $10 in IL, its like $12-13 per pack with taxes. i'm guessing since he wanted $40 to start and settled on $30, he was going to pickup a 20 bag and a dime bag of dope. aint nobody bringing worthless used boots to a pawn shop to buy 2 packs smokes. i'm sure he's got a credit card somewhere he could use to buy the smokes. he needed straight cash for a reason

Be annoyed. He's an opiate/heroin addict. It's totally obvious. I'm an ex addict and I'm annoyed. These people need to be told no. If everyone stuck to their guns and told them no they'd get themselves cleaned up quicker.
I feel bad for this guy, it’s really easy to hate on him but he obviously is scraping the barrel. The problem is begging for money but then bragging about property and shelbys was kinda rubbing it in Pete’s face.
A landlord with two flats, a bike, and a 20 y/o grown man sucking off his dad's disability check is not hurting for money unless he's spending it on some stupid shit. There are McDonald's employees in worse situations and even they have the self respect to save up $10 for cigarettes.
iam 99% sure its just a random background of a cool car... he did not even unlock his phone to show the "pictures" he was talking about from the beginning...
I had the same car for 19 years until the engine gave out and $1,500 bucks later got another with 200,000 miles that don't burn rubber or oil. Live within your means with peace of mind until you really need help from strangers.
good thing you passed on those funkos that guy was straight up trying to make you overpay, the company he got them from resells them as well so whatever he paid was a resellers price.
I just can’t see those becoming anything but the next Beanie Babies. I thought I’d be retiring on the big money my Princess Diana and full set of mini McDonald’s Happy Meal beanies would bring in: Lolol: l still have a big drawstring laundry bag full of them. :/

Focus isn’t on whether HE was pulling a fast one on you, the focus is on YOU and the good deed you just did. Paying It Forward.
You are a good man Pete regardless of what Honey says about you. 😇
I agree. I've given help to people who I wasn't sure really needed it, but that's not the important thing. You DID the important thing.
@ Michael Shotwell I am not slamming you. This is not a good deed or paying it forward. This guy is a scammer. He is probably on some type of illegal drug. I think Pete is a stand up guy but he messed up on this deal. Again not slamming your thoughts.
Yep, no disrespect at all but this guy is obviously a drug addict. YOU DO NOT BEG LIKE THAT FOR SMOKES AND GAS. YOU JUST DON'T.
P.S. ex heroin addict of 20 years here so I have a bit of inside knowledge of the behavior 😉
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 I wouldn't call trying to get a better price "scamming" It's not like he scammed him out of a pair of shoes or something.
@@gulfportflamefighter4545agree they are weak minded and wont ever see eye to eye they fall short🔥💫🫠
Hearing him say “give me a 10 spot” and “take care of me until ….” Is EXACTLY what I would say hitting up my dope guy when I’d be hurting.
/:
That’s what I was thinking, dude definitely seems like he strung out
Very true
Yupppp he needs that extra $5 so badly cuz he needs $30 or he cant get that gram of heron
@@urge3v $30 for a gram of heroin is too good to be true, most likely a half gram. But think about it like this, he said he needed 2 packs of cigs for $17, and the rest for gas to get home. So he needs $13 in gas (4 gallons) to get home? And he riding a motorcycle?! How far away does this guy live!!! Lies!!
Same
You are a better man than me, I woulda passed on all that. I've been in Chicago for a long time and see this kinda stuff almost every day. If I gave in to everyone that pulled this, I wouldn't be able to pay my own rent. That being said, sometimes there is somebody that really needs it more that you. How do you differentiate the real needy and scams? You don't, there is no way to tell and sometimes you just gotta be a good person and give back. You are a good person, love you, love your vids. Peace
I don’t know how you deal with a customer that won’t stop so well. You are a good man. Best pawn channel on RUclips!
The older man in the purple was super precious. He acted how you should act, and was very polite. Just had to get rid of things. Reminded me of my paw paw. ❤️
This is a gem of a channel that I just randomly stumbled across. This guy is brilliant and such a good guy. I'm addicted to it already! It's like watching pawn Stars but without all the reality show drama. Just a real life pawn shop, in a real life town, with wholesome real life interaction 👍 great stuff man keep up the good work!
I've been wanting to open a Buy/Sell shop in retirement but situations like that one have me hesitant. You're a good man.
You are an honorable man. These are the moments that make humanity great. You are wise beyond your years.
When he said ‘what do you want me to do, I’ll let the bird bite me for 5 bucks’ that was the funniest thing iv heard all month 😂😆😂😆😂
If we had more people like Pete in this world it would be a much better place. He's a class act. Huge respect for you Pete.
Pete would be broke and no one would have anything. That's the deal, these lazy, useless people living on those that are trying to do right. This country if full of those losers.
Doesn't matter if he was scamming you or not, you followed your heart and stayed true to yourself. Honestly, I think you have some of the best instincts when it comes to dealing with people.
He'd be a good cop. Thats the only other profession that gets lied to more.
@@JanoyCresvahe's too honest and nice to be a cop
Pete I've been watching you for a long long time. What you did at the end there made me tear up. You are an amazing human being. I hope to be able to meet you someday if I ever get out that way again. I lived not far from your shop for years but not sure if you were around when I lived out that way. God bless you brother! The world needs more people with a heart like yours.
No disrespect but the guy was an addict. You don't beg like that for smokes and gas. You just don't. The guys dealer won't take anything but full price for whatever amount of (most likely heroin) this guy wants to buy with that money. He wanted to get his normal amount from the dealer without arguing about being short. Then he wanted to stop and get smokes cause you can't shoot up heroin without having a nice tasty cigarette afterward. I know. Ex junkie.
Was it a nice act? Yes. Was the guy probably a junkie? Yes. It's a good title, and a good ending for a subscription bait. But, at the end of the day he is just enabling him unfortunately. I don't believe I've seen many videos where he does anything like that though, hm.
I almost had to turn this one off… I was embarrassed for this guy. I would have turned him away. You’re a good man!
Just saw this one today, fun to see one of our old videos featured! All of our Signature Series Pops are featured on Pop Price Guide/HobbyDB now with trending values. You offered a fair price at the time.
My sister had that suitcase set in green. Got it in 1965 for graduation. Her initials were just like raised adhesive pieces of metal. Then her third year at MSU someone stole the whole set. Things like that stick in your head as a younger sister.
I hope the day never comes that I’m aggressively begging another man to help me out. That interaction was bizarre and I felt like the help was given out of a bit of fear. Justified fear
It wasn't fear. He just couldn't stand to see a grown man beg and cry.
Sometimes it embarrassing to watch another man with no shame. 👍
When someone acts like that they do it all the time! That guy acts like that all the time to people and guilt trips them and begs them and then like you said he might even get a little angry or aggressive until he gets over on Everybody Talks to! How much you want to bet all that crappy talked about wasn't even his! His son was probably the one working and dad was the bum just hanging out! But seriously somebody who does that they do it all the time! Have you ever had a crackhead come up to you for money? They act just like this and they do it to everyone! How much you want to bet that 30 bucks was for drugs and he's already whined and cried to his drug dealer so many times that he knows he had to have that extra $5 because the drug dealer wasn't going to give him three for $25 because the guy is always begging and pushing and guilt tripping for more.. come on just a little bit more come on please just 50 cents let me get a dollar! Oh you gave me 10 thanks man can you give me 15 I'll come on man I really need it let me get 15! Guarantee this guy does that to everyone and feels absolutely no shame about it
@@brandons7272 takes one to know one🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think what got you was how sweet he was to that cat...awesome interaction. 💛
As a pop vinyl collector-u have over 500 I was happy to see show on your show 😊 really enjoy this channel you never know what’s coming in next !.
Regardless of what the intentions of that customer truly was , you did the right thing my friend , god loves a joyful giver
The way he kept essentially asking you to hurt him for $5 is creepy AF.
tbh i hate people like these. His son pays 1400$/month, he can't stop his bad habits to make ends meet and puts his problems on everyone else. I had issues too, i had to cut down on expenses, put everything on food and rent and worked min wage to make things work. Never begged people for money
@@cogs11 probably lies.
@@cogs11 I hear you, I got into a fairly bad work injury in 2013 that resulted in 4 surgeries. I went from making $75,000 per year to making $11,500 per year on disability. I had to cut down on major expenses. I sold all my power tools I used for work. The guy says he is not begging for that extra $5.00 but he would not shut up about it for 10 min. Everyone has issues. It is how you look at it.
@@cogs11 good for you man, it's 30 bucks
Agreed, and not only disrespectful to Pete, but to all the other disabled folks like myself who would never use their disability as an opportunity to 'profit'. It was disgusting, actually. Pete's got a good heart - this guy took advantage of him, in my opinion.
Pete no no no. Please don’t let these people use you. Love your videos my friend.
I loved seeing Honey and Ruby at end of last video. THANK Y0U so much. I would love to see them in each video at least for a minute or two. Honey looks so comfortable in her bunk bed. Adorable when the covers are pulled up to her head. Both adorable.
Pete, you're a hero. The way you handled the end of the video was absolutely top tier. I thought they were being a little funny, but as the story went on I just felt sad for them. "I died that day" is a rough statement to hear.
I know this is an older video but I've been binging a ton of them - thanks to you and the crew :)
Is it Pyotr or Pyrobr?
pete ive been into pawn shops since 1992 and loved wheeling dealing,one thing i noticed your very good at spotting a good deal and dealing with scammers,im sorry the one dude with the motorcycle helmet really has no idea how owning a pawn shop is a tough job,all sorts of people you deal with.
Yeah, he was begging..."I'm not begging here"...I would have asked him to leave. There are other places to pawn his stuff.
Life is tough, you make it better though Pete. As always thanks for the wonderful videos.
I can't stand a beggar. I wouldn't have given him anything if he didn't take my offer of $25. Especially considering that $20 was more than fair. You know he's not gonna come back and live up to his word. But, he'll surely come back looking for another hand-out for some junk he finds in the trash or snagged out of a goodwill donation bin.
Pete wants absolutely nothing to do with expensive item's he always says "hold onto it" don't sell it to me 😂 Love ya Pete !
Damn I can’t believe how much I’m hooked on your videos.Please keep them coming
Having to deal with guys like the one at the end would absolutely exhaust me, I could never do Pete’s job. 😵💫
Love the red luggage set ,btw you have a heart of gold Peter
I feel like his cat keeps
his heart right! ♥️
You're a good guy, Pete. I subbed even before I saw you do that, but now I'm especially glad I did. You're awesome!!
Same here I subbed before I saw this. This guy Pete has a lovely way about him. He seems so cool and kind.
You are more than fair with your customers man. Good job
Just started watching your channel, you're definitely one of the good ones, peace brother!
Ugh, this is why I hesitate to open a store. I give you credit for the way you handled him. Much better than I would've done.
At face value, i had trouble believing him, but the more i watched the video, the more legit he seemed. Literally reminds me of the first Rocky films (1 and 2) where theres dialog in between. Old generation that just seems down on his luck.
@@starboy5177 it's not about luck at this point. it would be if he was 20, maybe even 30, he just needs money for drugs, I doubt he'll buy cigarettes at all
I hate the way he begs and pushes always more even when he gets half of he asked, he put himself in shitty situations and blames the whole world but him for it, and lies to try to get his way
@@ses147 Do you know him?
That guy was pathetic. Probably would have cursed Pete on the way out if he didn't give the extra $5.
Yup
But hey hes got two rental properties a bike worth thousands and makes more in disability than someone killing themselves in some shit retail job. 1300 biweekly you'd have to make like 20 bucks an hour full time before taxes to make that.
The sad part is he probably still cussed him out for not just giving it to him the first time
@tjs7154 right! Even after going to $25 he was JUST as unhappy. You can tell he REALLY needed that $30. (💊 💉?)
I BET HE WAS ALREADY CALLING HIS DEALER ON HIS WAY OUT OF THE DOOR
100%
“I’m not begging, I’m just telling you my situation is fucked up man” “it is what it is, I died that day”….he’s bringing Starbucks 😂
Still gave gim the 30 , and im pretty sure he knew it wasent for cigs and gas pete u are a great man i hope everything u do for ppl comes back to you 100 times better
He didn't give him 30?
These Funko Pops all look alike, they are not my cup of tea.. nope..
Your a good man Pete,wish there were more like you in this crazy world.
Wow, you're alot better than me. I did the pawn shop game for a little while and dealt with folks like this last one far more than I ever cared to.
When I was nice to someone like this however and they kept pushing after I caved in just a little, I ended the deal right then and there and told them to keep their stuff and that I didn't want anything. I was honestly hoping you were going to do the same here.
Hes such a good man he tries to help every1 but most people r ungrateful
Your a great guy Pete!! That was nice of you to help him out with the extra $5.00!!
Pete you have the patience of a Saint!
The guy with the boots is a pain in the ass. You were a hero!
The guy said "Im not begging" sure sounds like he was to me!i
You know that's exactly what Pete was thinking but didn't want to say it on camera. Lol
1400 car note is INSANE! Can’t believe they let him walk out with that payment
He should sell the car. It's ridiculous
Wish these people would stop thinking Peter is a Salvation Army or an ATM. Everyone has issues and are doing it tuff, but Pete is a businessman and has a family of his own and miles of bills to pay as well.
"Have a heart" really.. I wish you stood strong with the dude, because blatant manipulation like that doesn't deserve a reward. Downright insulting what he was doing here.
I know it's hard to stay tough while you're in the situation though, so can't blame you. Sorry you have to deal with these people.
Has the nerve to say "I'm not begging" afterwards too. If that's not begging then I don't know what is.
Wonder if he ever came back.. ?
That last person deserves no sympathy at all. "I used to make $150K a year." Then kept talking about a $1400 a month payment on a 625hp Shelby mustang that he was making payments on for his son. " My son does not have to work. When I die my son will be taken care of." Then he talked about some high dollar "jewish" properties

Sad reality of what addiction to cigarettes can do to you.
This guys addition to cigarettes is the least of his problems.
That was most likely addiction to cigs and drugs. My guess it started it’s pills after his accident which made him loose everything he had. Now he need $20 for H and $10 for smokes.
@@joshallen7169 scary thing is he says two packs of Marlboro’s and ten for gas. I don’t care where you are in Illinois you ain’t getting two packs of smokes and ten for gas. I’d like to know where he shops.
@@joshallen7169 i would agree but i'm not sure you can even get a pack of smokes for $10 in IL, its like $12-13 per pack with taxes. i'm guessing since he wanted $40 to start and settled on $30, he was going to pickup a 20 bag and a dime bag of dope. aint nobody bringing worthless used boots to a pawn shop to buy 2 packs smokes. i'm sure he's got a credit card somewhere he could use to buy the smokes. he needed straight cash for a reason

That was uncomfortable to watch that guy at the end. I'm torn between being annoyed and feeling bad for him.
Be annoyed. He's an opiate/heroin addict. It's totally obvious. I'm an ex addict and I'm annoyed. These people need to be told no. If everyone stuck to their guns and told them no they'd get themselves cleaned up quicker.

I feel bad for this guy, it’s really easy to hate on him but he obviously is scraping the barrel. The problem is begging for money but then bragging about property and shelbys was kinda rubbing it in Pete’s face.
If you feel bad for this guy I feel bad for you. You are obviously misguided! That guys a pathetic loser scammer. Nothing more!
He is probably full of something.
A landlord with two flats, a bike, and a 20 y/o grown man sucking off his dad's disability check is not hurting for money unless he's spending it on some stupid shit.
There are McDonald's employees in worse situations and even they have the self respect to save up $10 for cigarettes.
Wants you to feel sorry because he has a GT350 and can't afford it? Lmfao, some people
iam 99% sure its just a random background of a cool car... he did not even unlock his phone to show the "pictures" he was talking about from the beginning...
I had the same car for 19 years until the engine gave out and $1,500 bucks later got another with 200,000 miles that don't burn rubber or oil. Live within your means with peace of mind until you really need help from strangers.
good thing you passed on those funkos that guy was straight up trying to make you overpay, the company he got them from resells them as well so whatever he paid was a resellers price.
I just can’t see those becoming anything but the next Beanie Babies. I thought I’d be retiring on the big money my Princess Diana and full set of mini McDonald’s Happy Meal beanies would bring in: Lolol: l still have a big drawstring laundry bag full of them. :/
