Spent 4 hours trying to find a coolant leak that was just the cap on the overflow tank being loose

My boss walked over, gave it a half turn, and said 'you're welcome' before walking away, which was both helpful and deeply annoying.

Ever notice how the simple fix is always the last thing you check? I used to get so mad when that happened, like I wasted all that time. But honestly, those moments taught me to start with the easy stuff first, even if it feels dumb. Now I look at the cap or the fuse before I tear anything apart. It saves so much headache.

But what if the easy fix is never obvious?

Spend an hour trying to get a lamp to work, only to find it wasn't plugged in all the way. That's just a funny story, not a life lesson. Most of the time, the easy fix is obvious and you check it first anyway. We only remember the times we looked dumb, so it feels like a big pattern. It's not that deep.
