Pro tip: the guy at the hardware store in Mesa told me my question was too vague, and he was right
I walked in asking "what screws do I need for a shelf" and he just stared at me for a second. He said "screws for what, into what, holding how much?" I felt dumb but he was right, I was guessing instead of looking at the wall first. So I went home, checked if it was drywall or stud, weighed the shelf, came back with real numbers. Now I do that with every question I ask, even at work.

People ask lazy questions everywhere because it's easier than doing the thinking first. You see it at the doctor, the mechanic, even texting a friend for advice without saying what actually happened. The fix is the same every time: know what you're really asking before you open your mouth.
