inHeard a customer at the shop call a lens a 'glass tube'
Isn't it funny how we all have our own words for things? I love hearing stuff like that, it really makes you step back. I usually just say the part that lets the light in got cleaned or straightened out, so the picture looks clear again. It's tough to leave out all the techy details when you're used to them, but it feels good to make it simple for someone.

inWarning: A client begged me to fake water damage on their new table
Hold up, you'd actually pressure wash new wood just because someone asked? That feels like a mechanic putting sugar in a gas tank because the owner asked for a "sweet ride." Where do you draw the line between giving a customer what they want and doing something you know is wrong for the material?

inI thought wrapping brisket in foil was a total cheat until last weekend
Watched my own "perfect" foil-wrapped brisket turn into a sad, steamed pot roast last year, so I feel this. Switched to paper myself and it's like the difference between a soggy sandwich and actual barbecue. My grill now produces meat that holds its shape instead of just falling apart in a puddle. Still kind of mad about all the years I spent being a foil loyalist, to be honest.
