Remember when they offered me a free toaster to stop complaining about the dropped calls.

Seriously, though, a paper template? That's like basic DIY stuff. I mean, yeah it helps, but it's not some big secret. People act like every home project needs a special trick, but half the time it's just thinking it through. Like when my friend made a fuss about using a level for hanging pictures, when just looking at it works fine most days. We get so stuck on doing things perfect that we forget this stuff isn't that hard.

My jarred sauce gets eaten straight from the container half the time.

Wait, are we really debating potato economics now?

Funny thing, those cones got me curious too last month. My street had them for days with no signs explaining why. I finally asked a neighbor who works for the city. Turns out it was just a water main check, nothing big. Why do we let these small things bother us so much? Asking around saved me a lot of pointless worry.
