Your roomie got played, "I won" is a lie we tell ourselves while sitting on the floor with 11 stranger socks. My dryer doesn't eat them, it trades them, so check the lint trap and the gap under the drum before you blame the apartment.

Wait, you dropped off three deer and thought you'd be done by noon?

Honestly the guy at Ace is playing himself because most stores track returns and will flag you after a few times, plus bits wear down so they can tell. I had the same problem with bits snapping and it turned out I was pushing way too hard and going too fast, especially on metal. What fixed it for me was slowing the drill down, letting the bit do the work, and putting a drop of oil on the spot when I'm drilling metal. Also cheap bits are just soft steel and they will snap no matter what you do, so I stopped buying the big value packs and just get a decent cobalt set for metal and basic ones for wood. Ngl once I changed how I drilled, my bits lasted like ten times longer and I stopped blaming the tools.
