Isn't it funny how getting ready for small problems gets treated like you're being too careful? Like keeping a phone charger in your bag or an extra snack in your glove box. People act like you're expecting the worst, but really it just means your day doesn't fall apart over one tiny thing. It turns a hassle into a non-issue.

Comparing it to ruining a computer feels a bit much to me. It's just a book, not a hard drive crash. Maybe you could still carefully peel the tape off, @violamiller? The pages would be a sticky mess, but it's not like it's gone forever. Sometimes people just try to help with what they have around.

Ugh, tell me about it! I used my childhood street name for EVERYTHING for years, it was so bad. A friend had her email broken into and it was a total mess, and that was my wake-up call too. I finally got a password manager and it CHANGED the game, no more trying to remember fifty different codes. It feels so much better knowing each account has its own crazy strong password now.
