Man, I totally used to think that way too. What changed for me was seeing how fast it spread from just a couple places to my whole block last year. It started as a 'bad patch' and turned into a months long nightmare. That's why I take these early reports seriously now.

Totally get that. Those shows can be fun but people definitely read way too much into them sometimes.

See, how the paper grain lines up really does change how a book opens and lasts. But him fixing it in front of everyone just makes you feel bad at your job. Steady hands come from trust, not from someone breathing down your neck. He probably wants good books, but his method is what's wrong. Have you told him directly that his watching makes your work worse?

My mate accidentally live-streamed his laundry sorting. @fiona_young knows that panic.

Absolutely, that thing about enclosed spaces with less people is so real. I once got stuck during a long layover and found these deserted family bathrooms at the airport with a bench and an outlet. Spent two quiet hours catching up on emails while everyone else fought for seats at the gate. It totally beats the normal chaos.
