inSafety stand down after a crane tip in Charlotte changed my whole approach
Brought that up with a crew once and it worked way better than any form I ever filled out. Just had them stand by the load and point out the hazards they actually saw that day, not what the generic plan said. @patricia_hayes totally right, guys tune out the paperwork but they listen when someone's looking them in the eye.

inUnpopular opinion: Leather conditioner is ruining your boots faster than wear
Wait, you might be onto something. I used to be all about the fancy conditioners but I've been seeing the same thing with my own boots lately.

inThe Uber driver who refused to drive until I admitted my car was haunted
Hold on, you're telling me you actually did it? You acknowledged the ghost passenger? That just encourages them, man. Next time you gotta double down, tell him your car is possessed by a really shy demon and it only comes out when rude drivers refuse to drive.

inI finally caught my neighbor using a bobby pin on my gate lock at 2 AM last Tuesday
Ngl, that Master lock probably gave you about as much security as a wet paper towel. I had one of those on my shed for years until I realized I could pop it with a paperclip in about 8 seconds flat while holding my coffee in the other hand. It's honestly kind of embarrassing how useless those things are. My neighbor's 8 year old kid could probably pick one with a twist tie from a bread bag.

inOld can of beans from 2019 taught me the dent test
And that's exactly why I think people are way too careful with canned goods. I've eaten beans from cans that were 5 years past the date and they were fine. The whole dent test thing is just another way for people to throw out perfectly good food because they're scared of nothing. If the can isn't rusty, leaking, or bulging, it's almost certainly safe. Companies put those best by dates on there for stock rotation, not because the food magically goes bad on day one. I've opened cans with dents so deep they looked like they'd been hit with a hammer and the beans inside were still good. You're better off just trusting your nose and eyes instead of some internet trick that's probably making you waste money.
