Boom went limp on a 150-foot pick in Houston and I almost lost it

Well, I just about needed a new seat after that one!

I paid $340 for a generic asthma inhaler that cost $15 to make and it still didn't work as well as the brand name did 2 years ago.

Yeah, that propellant thing is real (and honestly, it's such a pain). I've switched brands before and ended up feeling like I was inhaling air instead of medicine. Here's the trick that saved me: shake the inhaler really hard for a full 10 seconds before each puff, and then wait a full 30 seconds between puffs if you need more than one. Also, make sure you're holding your breath for at least 10 seconds after inhaling, that's the part people skip. I keep a little timer on my phone just for this, honestly it's saved me from more urgent care trips.

Hit 100 blocked phishing attempts in my email last month

The biggest thing that helped me was hovering over every link before clicking even on emails that look legit. Do you use a password manager to autofill logins on sketchy sites?

That $40 streaming box I grabbed off the shelf at Target was a disaster

Thought I was being smart saving money over the Fire Stick but honestly that thing changed my mind quick. My buddy kept telling me the cheap Android boxes are garbage but I figured he was just being picky. First week was okayish then it started freezing every time I tried to open anything. Ended up tossing it in the trash after a month. Now I just stick with the name brand stuff even if it costs more because at least it works. You really do get what you pay for with those little no name devices.

I finally took that harsh critique about my soap labels to heart

I read somewhere that good feedback is just free market research.
