So I'm building a chimney in this old farmhouse near Salem, and the homeowner's cat decided my mortar mix was the perfect new litter box.

Had to stop everything, clean the whole mess out, and start a fresh batch while the cat just stared at me from the roof. Anyone else had a job get weirdly sabotaged by a pet?

I was reading comics wrong for like 15 years and didn't even know it

I always just read the main story and skipped all the letters pages and editor's notes in the back. Then I picked up a copy of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' #252 from a shop in Austin and read the whole thing. The editor's note about the black suit's first appearance totally changed how I saw the whole issue. Has anyone else had a moment where a small detail in a comic changed the whole story for them?

Update: My watercolor painting turned into a muddy mess

I tried to paint a sunset but mixed too many wet colors. It became a blurry brown blob. Now I know to let each layer dry fully before adding more.

Manager won't stop looking over my shoulder in the shop

It's really getting to me how my boss has to watch everything I do. He came up while I was swapping out a transmission and started pointing at things. I know how to do my job, I've been a mechanic for a long time. This makes simple tasks feel like a big test. It puts me on edge and I work slower because of it. Some of the other guys just laugh it off but I can't. I might start putting out feelers for a new job soon.
