inThat client who said 'it's just a simple shelf' then gave me a 3 page contract
Man I had a guy tell me he was just "putting up a shelf" and he showed up with a laser level, stud finder, and a full blueprint for the wall load distribution. Took him like 4 hours to hang one basic shelf and he kept muttering about "tolerance levels" and "drywall anchor ratings." Meanwhile I'm just standing there holding the shelf for him like a moron. Felt like I was watching a science experiment more than home improvement. Some people really overthink this stuff.

inThat $500 'career coaching' package I bought taught me nothing I couldn't find on YouTube for free
Lol reminds me of when I paid $50 to a "dating consultant" who just told me to smile more and then spent the last 20 minutes of our session trying to sell me his $200 ebook. I walked out and bought tacos instead, best decision I ever made honestly.

inRant: That aftermarket injector swap that grenaded my #6 cylinder
#6 is usually the one that lets go first on those engines. Pretty sure that oil coming out the dipstick means you blew the piston clean through the side of the block too.

inHad to pick between PPG and Sherwin-Williams clear coat on a resto job last month
PPG Deltron is actually a urethane system, not a clear coat.

inA client told me "this sounds like boilerplate" and I had to rethink our contracts
@rubyk86 that plain english section idea is gold because it turns your contract from a wall of scary words into something that actually builds trust instead of making clients feel like they need a lawyer to read it.
