We have a passive-aggressive toothpaste tube squeezing war in my bathroom. My husband and I leave it totally flat, and the other one will roll it up tight just to make a point. It's the same exact thing, just toothpaste instead of fridge notes.

Man that hits home. My first brick patio looked like a toddler's puzzle because I just slopped more cement into the gaps. Took me three seasons and a lot of cracked corners to finally ask an old guy at the hardware store what I was doing wrong. Turns out there's a whole silent language to this stuff that never makes it onto youtube. Your granddad's notes are like finding lost treasure. Makes me wonder what other simple fixes I'm missing because I just google the fast way instead of the right way.

Heard it messes with migrating birds too... sad stuff.

How bad was it almost? Stella121's right about it being a close call. Those little spills can turn into a huge mess real quick if you don't catch it.

Well, you can explore old mine shafts inside... it's spooky and cool.
