inBest week I've had in a while - fixed 3 washing machines in one day
The Samsung drain pump job reminds me of a time I had three Frigidaires in a row that all needed the same timer assembly. I had a box of them in my truck from a parts run the week before. Sometimes the stars just align and you clear out a whole week's worth of calls in a single morning.

inTried using a shop vac to clear a dryer vent from the outside and almost blew the whole thing apart
Waited too long to reply but @bailey.jennifer you're dead on about those flex hoses being the weak link. I bet your crimp joint blowout was worse than mine though since metal can tear jagged and leave sharp edges. Did you end up having to replace the whole run of duct or did you patch it with tape and call it good? Only time I ever tried a reverse blow on a solid metal duct it worked fine until I hit a 90 degree turn and it launched a mouse nest right back at my face.

inFound a 2014 forum post where a guy in Seattle predicted the Amazon Fresh grocery stores would flop
Exactly what I was thinking, @mark_chen62. It's like how we remember the one time the weatherman got it right and forget the other 20 times. People only remember the ones that end up being right, it's just how our brains work. You could make 50 predictions and be wrong on 49, but that one hit makes you look like a genius. I see it all the time with stock tips and sports picks too.
