Your bank" with the same password? Yikes, that one hit different.

Started noticing that same thing with food too. Got a bag of discount chips that tasted so artificial I couldn't stop eating them, then felt hollow and confused after. Some stuff is just designed to make you wonder what you're even doing with your life.

Got a pack of those UV decals a few years back and stuck them on the patio door. Worked great for about two months until my neighbor's cat started staring at the glass like it was a nature documentary. I think the decals actually attracted the cat because they reflected weirdly in the morning sun. Last I saw, they were all curled up at the edges and looked like old packing tape. I just let the cat sit there now, it's cheaper than buying new decals every season.

People mess up sometimes. Calling someone out publicly over a dried paint tube feels like overkill. Stuff like this happens to everyone sooner or later, especially with a swap where nobody is checking inventory. I got a tube of burnt umber last month that looked totally fine but had a tiny crack in the base. I just let the person know, they gave me a replacement, and we moved on. Most people aren't trying to unload bad paint on purpose.

Same here, I ruined so many meals before I figured that out.
