inFrustrated with friends who expect instant diagnoses over the phone
In 2022, I laughed at the idea of diagnosing car trouble from a sound clip. I always thought you had to be there in person to figure it out. But then I saw a video where a mechanic pinpointed a bad bearing just from a grinding noise. He broke down the sound frequencies, and it totally made sense after that!

inDAE deal with crazy long waits for city permits after alarm installs?
Yeah the part about clients still pushing back even with full transparency is so real. I read a blog post about client psychology that said some people just hear the first date you say and ignore the caveats. It's like @gavink95 said, it keeps calm people calm, but the rush types will always be rushing. I've had clients agree to a six week timeline and then start asking for updates after week two. You just have to point back to the original quote and hold the line.
