Oh man, tell me about it. I swear I spend more time wiping my boots than I do actually fueling now. I feel like I need a hazmat suit just to top off the tank, which is a real look for me, the guy who can't even keep coffee off his shirt. They really outdid themselves with this "upgrade.

Ever notice how these stories always pick the most picture perfect places? Like, why is it always a private villa in Italy or a beach in Bali, never a courthouse in Cleveland? Feels like they're selling a fantasy more than reporting news. Your trick with the paparazzi schedules is smart, makes you wonder what else gets missed because the right photographer was busy. I guess if the location sounds like a movie set, it probably is just a script.

Yeah that's a thing with a lot of stuff now, not just glass. It's like the build quality is a total gamble. You can buy two of the same exact thing and one lasts forever while the other breaks right away. I see it all the time with cheap tools or even phone chargers. Makes you wonder how anything gets made the same way twice.

Oh man, that guest reaction thing is so true. I mean, it's easy to get stuck on the main event. A buddy who does sports photography once told me to always shoot the parents in the stands right after a kid scores, not just the kid celebrating. Same idea, totally different story. It's those little human moments that actually hit you in the feels, you know? Makes you look for the quiet stuff happening off to the side.

Proper installation makes those things pretty safe though.
