I used to feather my mud out way too thin until a union guy in Detroit set me straight
He grabbed my trowel on a break and showed me how a 12-inch knife with a fat load actually sands flatter than six wispy passes. Now I do it his way and my finish work in Dearborn looks way cleaner. Anyone else get a game changer like that from a random run-in?

Funny enough, the only game changer I ever got from a random run-in was a guy at Home Depot telling me my caulk line looked like a squiggly worm on meth. He wasn't wrong. I'd been so proud of my shaky handiwork till he set me straight with a wet finger and a spray bottle. Now I'm out here in the burbs with lines so straight even my wife can't make fun of them.

Twenty bucks says that guy's whole personality is based around caulking and he brings it up at every barbecue. I'm not saying he's wrong, but it's just caulking, not brain surgery. You could have left that shaky line as is and no one would have cared but you.

Know a buddy who spent a whole afternoon redoing a single caulk line in his bathroom, and now every time someone visits he points it out like it's a museum exhibit. @stellanelson nailed it, some folks just gotta make a whole personality out of a tube of silicone.
