inMy ancient Crock-Pot finally bit it on Tuesday night
My Instant Pot replaced my old crock pot about 4 years ago and I haven't looked back either. I was skeptical at first but the pressure cooker setting makes a pot roast in like 60 minutes that tastes like it cooked all day. Plus it does rice, beans, and even yogurt so I actually use it way more often than I ever used my crock pot.

inA master electrician told me I was bending pipe wrong for 5 years
Nah, I gotta disagree a bit. Sometimes being rough with the bender actually helps if you're working with thicker gauge tube. I've seen guys baby theirs and end up with kinked messes. It's all about knowing when to muscle it and when to finesse. Different metals respond totally different too, aluminum you gotta be more careful but steel can take a beating.

inHad a Tuesday in St. Louis last month where everything went sideways
Had a buddy who runs a small crew and he showed up to a job where a nest was basically holding a section of the flue pipe together. Tried to clear it out and the whole thing almost dropped on his head. Hazard fee sounds way smarter than what he did lmao.

inSaw a house in Phoenix where the drywall was hung upside down
Upside down drywall is unforgivable. You know the taper had to fix that mess with extra mud and tape. Makes you wonder if they even own a T-square or just eyeballed every cut.
