Dailey Bailey: Four Ways You Might Be Wasting Money

“Forbes” magazine recently posted something on ways young people waste money. But a lot of them apply to everyone. They’re pretty obvious, but here are the top four.

1. Renting a place you can’t afford. The general rule is you shouldn’t spend more than 30% of your budget on rent. But a lot of people think they should have a sweet place anyway, even if they just got their first entry-level job.

2. Mindless spending on little things. Like getting Starbucks every morning, or going to Wal-Mart to buy one thing, and buying five other things you don’t really need.

3. Being lazy. Like when you get home from work and decide you’re too tired to cook, so you order food and end up spending 20 bucks. Which adds up really fast if you do it two or three times a week.

4. Paying for things you want, but don’t need. Like $15 a month for HBO, so you can watch the new “Game of Thrones” season that’s still two months away . . . or $100 a year for Amazon Prime, just so you can buy more stuff you probably don’t need.

Dailey Bailey: A Truck Crashed Into a Psychic’s House . . . She Says She Knew It Was Coming

67-year-old Rachel Williams is a psychic who works out of her house in Anaheim, California.

And around 4:30 P.M. on Friday, a guy in a pickup truck lost control and plowed through the side of her house.

She was hit by some debris and had to go to the hospital, but she’ll be okay. And her son was in the room where the truck hit too, but he wasn’t hurt.

And Rachel says that she wasn’t surprised by the truck hitting her house for two reasons. One, it’s the third time someone’s done that. And two, she had a vision of it coming.

Quote, “Yes, I knew it. I didn’t know what time, but I had that spiritual feeling.”

She also told the cops she had another psychic feeling . . . that the driver was drunk. So now they’re investigating to see whether that was true.

Dailey Bailey: The Ten Most American Foods . . . According to Foreigners

People always say “there’s no such thing as American food,” because we just steal stuff from other countries. So not fair to our original creations, like chicken fried steak or fried Twinkies. But the criticism persists.

People from other countries are having a debate on Reddit.com about the most “American” foods. Here are their 10 most popular picks . . .

1. A burger and fries with a large Coke.

2. Pop Tarts.

3. Buffalo wings.

4. Dr. Pepper.

5. Corn dogs.

6. Fried chicken and waffles.

7. Sloppy Joes.

8. Barbecue food, including ribs and hot dogs.

9. Pepperoni. No other countries really eat it, especially not Italy.

10. Meat loaf.

Dailey Bailey: A Woman Takes Out a Newspaper Ad Congratulating Her Husband on His New Baby . . . That He’s Expecting With His Mistress

Say what you will about the death of the newspaper, but there’s just something more permanent about seeing something in print compared to seeing it on Craigslist.

There’s an ad circulating around from a newspaper in east Texas right now that’s just brilliant. (I couldn’t find which specific newspaper ran it.)

The ad says, quote, “I would like to say congratulations to Shara Cormier and Patrick Brown. They are expecting a baby. Hope you both are really in love and I hope it works out. Always, Patrick’s wife, Timeshia Brown.”

We don’t have any more back story here . . . but really, if you want to get revenge on a cheating husband, it’s hard to argue with a move like this.

Dailey Bailey: What’s Something You Do Every Day That’s Socially Unacceptable?

Hey, you’re not perfect. It’s okay, we don’t judge. There’s probably something you do all the time that’s not perfect etiquette or socially acceptable behavior . . . and that’s fine. So let us know what it is.

Here are the top 10 socially unacceptable things people do every day.

1. Pick food out of your teeth with your fingers.

2. Pee sitting down, as a man.

3. Pick your nose.

4. Scratch your butt, then secretly sniff it while you pretend to scratch your nose.

5. Put your elbows on the table.

6. Pass gas whenever you feel it coming.

7. Wear sweatpants out to dinner.

8. Take one bite out of a piece of pizza or cake then put it back in the refrigerator.

9. Sit at home, alone, doing nothing. It feels like you’re always supposed to be doing SOMETHING now . . . you can just sit there, sort of watching TV.

10. Pee in the shower. It’s so much faster.

Dailey Bailey: Don’t Set Your iPhone to January 1970 . . . You’ll Destroy It

There’s a rumor going around that you can set the date on your iPhone to January 1st, 1970 . . . reboot your phone . . . and unlock a secret “Retro Mode.”

Supposedly it has the old rainbow colored Apple logo, and a bunch of other stuff. But there are two problems.

First, it’s a hoax. Apple wasn’t founded until 1976, so a 1970 retro mode wouldn’t even make sense. Second, and even worse, you’ll permanently destroy your phone if you do it.

When you set your date back that far, it screws up the software in your phone and crashes it for good. Think of it as the Y2K bug of iPhones.

There’s a chance they can fix it at the Apple Store, but you’ll probably just have to buy a new one.

Fortunately, it’s hard to set your phone date back that far. You have to do a lot of long, boring scrolling, which means you can’t really do this by accident.

This is a pic of the hoax going around:

Dailey Bailey: A 17-Year-Old Bought Valentine’s Day Flowers For All 900 Girls at His School

17-year-old Hayden Godfrey is a student at Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. And he just pulled one heck of a stunt for Valentine’s Day.

He bought a flower for every single girl in his school. All 900 of them.

He bought a carnation for each one of them . . . it set him back $450. He said he’s been working on the plan for months.

Bet you may not feel as great about what you did for your Valentine now….

Here’s Hayden describing why he did it: “I firmly believe no girl should feel excluded on Valentine’s Day. If it was up to me, Valentine’s wouldn’t be a day about couples, but a day about loving your fellow human beings.”

He also posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, with this caption: “I don’t think anything can compare to seeing every girl in your life holding a flower as they walk through the halls.”

Hayden says he’s gotten “tons” of messages from girls since he gave out the flowers . . . but he actually has a girlfriend, and she approved the stunt.
