This happened to me with Ticket to Ride for like a year and a half, I was making everyone draw train cards face down instead of face up because I misread the rules on day one. My whole group just accepted it as normal and even got good at the game with that handicap, so when someone finally pointed it out we all felt so dumb. Stuff like this is way more common than people admit, we've all been rules lawyers who never actually read the law.

I used to think the energy exchange thing was legit until I saw that price tag.

Checked the thermostat twice, it was just a bent bracket.
