Three years ago my neighbor Bert said he fixed a leaking toilet by pouring a gallon of bleach into the tank. I woke up at 3am to a waterfall in my hallway because it ate through the rubber seal. I'm convinced half the advice people give is just them hoping their own shortcuts didn't blow up in their faces yet.

Oh absolutely, I wasted $80 on something called GroomerPro last year. It was supposed to text clients reminders automatically but instead it sent my personal phone number to like four strangers. Then it double-booked a golden retriever and a poodle at the same time on a Saturday morning. I had to work through lunch and still lost a regular customer who was not happy about the wait. That app got uninstalled so fast my phone probably vibrated. Never again with those expensive tools, just give me a simple paper calendar any day.

Yeah, I feel that. My old stove setup was basically a small car engine. Took me years to admit I didn't need a kitchen on wheels.
