    You are not supposed to use q-tips to clean your ears. But if it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

      I once heard someone say “you should never put anything smaller than your elbow inside your ear”. Not certain if that meant just because of the size. For me at least, it’s rather difficult to get my elbow anywhere near my ear which I think is the point.

    I think it’s silly to put punctuation inside quotes if they’re not part of the quote, but that’s what’s technically correct. I put periods or whatever after the end quote instead of before. Can’t think of any good examples at the moment though

      I hold a pencil wrong. I’ve done it this way my whole life. I used to have a callus from it, too.

    Niche to warehouse environment, but we where trained to pull the lever on a pallet jack to drop the load to the floor if you needed to break suddenly. Instead of doing this I very quickly turn the handle a sharp 90degree so the wheel itself just drags along the floor. It’s so much easier as it means I don’t have to pump it back up when I want to get moving again.
