sean_torres71, that's just wild. A whole month of involuntary spray bottle squeezing? I can't even imagine the look on his face every time he realized what he was doing.

80% seems like one of those numbers that sounds right until you actually look at the data. I've been around long enough to know that a lot of those stats get pulled from specific cases that don't match real world conditions. Most techs I've worked with would tell you half the time it's just a loose pin or corrosion, but labeling that as a "wiring harness failure" feels like a stretch. Plus, that 80% figure probably comes from one manufacturer's internal study on their own stuff, not a general rule. I'd want to see the actual repair logs broken down by root cause before buying into it that heavily.

Oh man, this is way too real! I had the same thing with my coffee thermos. Used to screw the lid on so tight I thought it was helping. Then I realized I was basically vacuum-sealing it and the heat had nowhere to go. @mary_foster92 nailed it - I stopped cramming the lid down and my coffee actually stayed hot for hours instead of lukewarm by lunch.
