inTIL my rave review for a cheap mp3 player forgot about its glue melting issue
My buddy bought this fancy hiking backpack that felt perfect in the store, all the straps adjusted smooth. He took it on one real trail and the main zipper got stuck halfway, then the hip belt clip just snapped off. Ended up carrying it like a weird grocery bag for three miles back to the car. Felt like a total scam after that first trip.

inTiny screws that strip easy make repairs a nightmare
My Pixel 4a had those tiny screws, and I never stripped any during a battery swap. They seem delicate, but with careful handling, it's manageable (most of the time, anyway). Maybe it's more about technique than the hardware itself.

inMy drill bit nearly found a water line while putting up shelves
Yeah, the part about kitchen sinks rings true. I was reading something the other day about how a lot of DIY plumbing mishaps happen right under sinks because all the lines are so close together. The article mentioned that PEX lines are actually a bit more forgiving if you nick them, unlike copper which just bursts. Still, hitting any pipe is a bad day. Makes that stud finder look like a real hero.
