Woman Files Complaint Against Husband Because He Concealed the Fact That He Was Bald

Lavika Gupta, a resident of Gaur City Avenue-1, in central Noida, recently filed a police complaint against her husband and four in-laws, alleging that she was deceived when she agreed to marry her spouse in 2024. Among her accusations, the woman claims that she was promised a man with lush, healthy hair, but married a bald man wearing a wig.

According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed at Bisrakh police station, Lavika Gupta and Sanyam Jain were married on January 16, 2024. The wife claims that she was deceived at the time, with Jain and his family concealing various details about his physical appearance, education, and financial status.

Gupta added that when she agreed to marry Sanyam, she was promised a man with “thick hair”, but she later learned that her spouse was bald and wearing a patch to conceal his lack of hair.

Must have been a really good hairpiece!

Guys can always use more tools, right? I'm not really sure what the purpose of these are, though. Need someone to mansplain, please!

"Vampliers" are an engineering marvel that every homeowner needs

Vampliers come from the company Vampire Tools, a Japanese manufacturer that uses premium high-carbon steel for its professional-grade tools. It has an entire lineup of Vampliers, which refer to specifically designed pliers that can get you out of difficult situations.

Suppose you are using your electric screwdriver to screw in a long screw to hold up some curtains. As you're pressing it into the wall, your driver slips and strips the head of the screw. You try to put your screwdriver back into the head of the screw, but it can't catch any of the edges, and it won't turn the screw anymore. What are you supposed to do?

I've been in situations like this before, and the goal is to get some kind of traction on that screw so it turns. A good set of pliers can feel like a forgotten tool, but even ones that you normally have may not work with their design. At that point, you either want to just get the screw out of the wall, so you can replace it. I've tried different methods, like putting a rubber band onto the top of the screw and adding my screwdriver against that in hopes that the rubber would conform to the top of the screw and allow me to turn it.

With Vampliers, they are engineered with a patented design that has serrations not only vertically down the tip of the pliers but also horizontally. This gives you a greater chance of being able to grab the side of the screw head, rather than having to deal with the stripped head. You can latch onto the side from a downward angle or from a side angle, allowing you to potentially spin the screw and get it to come out.

Help me out, fellas. Are these really must-haves??

OK, ladies - can you understand this?
