A large garage where vehicle mechanics work.
What struck me about the occasion was the quiet though cheerful tone of the gathering, the restraint, noticeable also in the very few speeches. Chemistry was taboo, by common consent — no "shop" allowed.
“How do most people shop at the grocery store without a list? I carry a notepad with me to the store with my list on it. Everyone else I see at the store don't appear to be looking at a list . They just get random items. How do these folks even know what to cook for meals without a list?”

— r/NoStupidQuestions· May 2026“Is Restelle Doll a scam? New reddit user here so super sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot. I really want to buy this piggy stuffed animal but I can’t find any reviews on this shop? Has anyone bought stuff from https://restelle.shop/collections/all and if so are they legit or a scam? Thanks!”

But I obvs can't (or at least I'm not willing to) stop strangers on the street to ask what they're wearing! And I've never found a scent I love in a shop - they just don't smell the same on a piece of card... Has anyone found a solution to this conundrum?”

“What do you all think of our terms of endearment I have noticed people who walk into a shop normally when after they have been served call the store person love or darling etc what are your opinions on it”

It wouldn’t have occurred to me to ask for illegal products in a shop. What’s up with enough people somehow knowing about this for them to have customers while I remain out of the loop: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62l429w2pko”

A place where things are manufactured or crafted; a workshop.
The car's in the shop right now.
