My AI writing assistant produced pure gibberish last Thursday

Last Thursday? That's wild because mine went off the rails on a Tuesday two weeks ago. The thing started describing a customer's product in this weird poetic style like it was trying to rhyme everything but it wasn't even rhyming. Just nonsense words that sort of sounded like the real ones. I had to hit Ctrl+Z about fifty times to get back to where it made sense. It's scary how fast it can go from perfectly fine to total chaos with no warning. Makes you wonder what's really going on inside those models.

Got stuck in a bathroom stall for 20 minutes because the door opened inward

The bigger issue nobody talks about is how inward-swinging doors actually make it harder to rescue someone who's not responsive in a small restroom. Think about it, if someone collapses behind that door, you're basically trying to push them out of the way while also forcing the door open. You're fighting their body weight. With a door that swings outward, you just pull it open and there's nothing blocking your path. I've seen this come up in training for first responders and it's the kind of detail most people just don't think about until it's an emergency situation. Inward doors also make it way harder for someone to drag themselves out if they're injured or panicking. The building codes are there for a reason and it's not just wheelchair users.

Bought a $40 phone charging station organizer from Amazon and it fried my cables in 2 weeks

Anker makes solid charging stations that actually regulate heat properly.

That old security guard was right about not using wireless sensors in commercial buildings

Read a study a while back that said wireless sensors and heavy industrial gear just dont mix, the EMF interference is brutal in warehouses. Hardwired is the way to go for any serious size job.

The game store in Austin had a whole shelf of barely used copies of the same expansion

Respectfully, @brookep27, I see it more as a victim of bad timing than anything.
