My internet was out for 5 days straight and the company kept saying 'tomorrow'

After a storm in Charlotte, my service went down and each call ended with a promise of a tech 'tomorrow' that never came. I finally got a real person who admitted the ticket was lost and sent someone that afternoon. Has anyone else had a company just lie about sending help for almost a week?

Can we talk about how a simple oil change turned into a 4-hour ordeal because I forgot to put the new filter on first?

I spent all that time draining the old oil and wrestling with the drain plug, only to realize I had to put everything back and start over because the new filter wouldn't thread on with the pan empty, so has anyone else had a basic car task spiral like that?

PSA: I was stripping 12-gauge wire with my linesman pliers for years before a foreman in Phoenix pointed out the notches on my strippers.

He saw me struggling on a panel swap and just said 'those are for 10 and 12, man.' Anyone else have a tool feature they missed forever?

Hot take: That 'time-saving' hoof cleaning hack just cost me more effort

I picked it up from a chat group, thinking it would help with my morning rounds. But it left debris packed in tighter, and now I'm redoing every hoof. Maybe it's just me, but shortcuts never pan out.
