Isn't the point of a dub to make it fun for English speakers, not to copy it word for word?

What makes you think making someone beg for a job is a good way to judge how they'll actually work? I used to think tough filters were smart, but hearing this just sounds like a cheap power move that'll bite them later.

Wait, you used a plastic wedge for 4 years and nobody ever said anything until now? That retiree probably saved your camera from a lifetime of misaligned shots, lol. I gotta ask though, did the wedge at least look like it was doing something useful, or was it just kinda sitting there being decorative? My own dumb moment was years ago when I thought you had to oil every moving part on a shutter, turned my poor Yashica into a sticky mess. Took me way too long to realize that less is more with lubrication, and yeah, that lesson came from a grumpy old repair guy too.
