That thing about paint sealing the paper fibers makes sense. I had a similar surprise with waxed canvas. I thought it was just a look, but I left a waxed bag in my damp garage all winter and nothing inside got musty. The wax really does block moisture.

Yeah, the parks department thing. My buddy actually called them last month about a broken bench in the riverwalk park. He said it took three calls just to get a real person, and then they told him it was "on the list." That was over six weeks ago and the bench is still snapped in half. It feels like they have a list that goes straight into the trash. What's the point of reporting if nothing gets fixed?

Oh man, the "private joke gone public" thing is the worst... I heard a story once where someone's embarrassing work email got read out loud at a party.

@mia_hart90 what made you pick it over other free ones?

Right? Who even has the energy for that? I got sucked into a thread about lunar dust once and lost a whole afternoon. It's just people picking tiny things apart forever.
