Got a weird question at a community potluck that made me rethink the whole point of this forum

I was at a neighborhood block party in Columbus last weekend, and someone asked me where to find good, unbiased reviews for local roofers. I gave my usual spiel about checking here first, but it made me wonder... what's the strangest or most specific thing someone has ever asked you for advice on? Like, something that made you go 'huh, okay'.

Just realized my entire Monday got wasted because the new 'fast-set' filler I tried from the supply house in Springfield cured in 8 minutes flat.

Had to grind out and redo the entire quarter panel on a 2018 F-150 after the stuff turned to rock before I could even block it, so what's your absolute most reliable brand for a normal working time in a hot shop?

Serious question, has anyone else wasted money on a 'done-for-you' lead list service?

I spent $1,200 on a list of 500 'qualified' manufacturing VPs last quarter... maybe 10% of the contacts were even current. Has anyone found a reliable source or is building it yourself the only real way?

Just read the FAA's new report on composite repair times and my jaw dropped

It says a simple carbon fiber patch job on a wing skin now takes 40% longer to sign off than five years ago. Found it buried in their latest advisory circular update. How are shops even keeping up with these extra hours?

Remember when we had to memorize every bus route number and schedule? I used to carry a folded paper map in my pocket for 3 years...
