Had a bride ask for a bouquet that smelled like her grandma's garden, and it threw me for a loop

My old foreman in Spokane always said to keep the bucket low when backfilling a trench. Tried it his way on a job yesterday and it saved me a huge headache.

Thought those 'green' power strips were just a cash grab until my bill dropped

Serious question, has anyone else's phone started acting weird after trying that 'find your phone's true signal' app from that one forum?

DAE skip heat shrink on outdoor splices? I used to, but a rainy job proved me wrong.

My coding buddy swears by error messages, but I find them baffling.

Rant: My book club in Austin spent 45 minutes arguing about the ending of 'Klara and the Sun' before I realized we'd all read different editions

We had the same mess with "The Martian." Someone's ebook had extra technical notes that changed a key plot point. It wasted half our meeting before we figured it out. Publishers should really standardize these editions.

Shoutout to the weird red clay I found near my house in Knoxville

But is it actually a problem?

Just realized my go-to fix for a Kenmore 417.9 dryer was a total waste of time

I actually like the complicated fixes, mary_schmidt. That's where you learn the weird stuff.

I had to choose between a 15-minute shortcut through a dark park or adding 10 minutes to my route on the main road.

That "pitch black and really spooky" feeling is the worst, it just gets in your head. Did the whole experience make you jump at every little sound for a while after, or was it just a one-time scare that made you rethink the shortcut?

Shoutout to the old guy at the Spokane fair who told me to keep a spare hoof knife in my apron pocket.

Been there, done that, learned the hard way too.
