Booked a sleeper bus in Vietnam and lost 8 hours of my trip

Mint mobile or a local SIM with data would've let you rebook mid-disaster.

Rant: Got stuck in a Staples parking lot for 45 minutes because of a 'flash mob'

I swear every time I try to run a quick errand like grabbing printer ink the universe decides to test me lmao. Last time I got stuck behind some flash mob thing at the mall I just sat there eating a granola bar watching people wave signs until my kid asked if we were camping. I bet those Staples people were probably just trying to get home to their Netflix shows like normal folks.

A client in Columbus told me my nails were too short and it bugged me for weeks

That "check it before I even move to the next nail" part @allen.ivan said is exactly what my buddy Sean learned the hard way. He was shoeing a horse in Boulder back in 21, thought he had the clinch set perfect on the front left. Next thing he knew, the shoe twisted halfway through the trim cycle and the horse threw a mild lameness. He retrained himself to check each clinch with his thumb before driving the next nail. Took him about two weeks to get it consistent.

Lost $2,300 on a bad inventory call for Q4 last year

Three years I watched this play out at my last company, and @eric723 you're dead on here. The boss signs off on the whole thing, gives you a thumbs up, then when the numbers come in red he's suddenly "managing expectations" and you're the one in the hot seat. It's like they think we're all just punching bags with a corporate logo on them. They'll spin it as a "shared accountability" thing but really it's just code for you getting the blame and him getting the bonus. Funny how that works every single quarter without fail, ain't it?

Spent $80 on a high-end thinning shear and it's gathering dust

Gotta call you out a little though - those 30 tooth shears aren't really meant for fine hair in the first place, they work better on thicker texture. Try switching to a 40 or 46 tooth if you decide to give it another shot.
