Wow, that's a brutal week but that pot find must've felt amazing.

Hold up, did you just say his desk is covered in coffee stains? That's the real crime here, not the messy papers. My keyboard would be a sticky mess in five minutes. How does he even see the game board?

Wait, forty dollars for just one steak? That's like half my grocery bill for the week. I can't even picture what a steak that expensive looks like, it must be huge or covered in gold or something. Honestly, spending that much on a single meal feels like a totally different world. It just seems like a waste when that money could do so much more. Stuff like that really makes you see how different people's priorities are.

That "gas out" thing the veteran mentioned is a perfect example of how something can seem totally fine on the surface but be messed up underneath. I see that everywhere, like when a phone update looks good but slowly kills your battery. Hugo645 might be right that something was on the wood, but that hidden problem is the same idea. It's all about the stuff you don't see right away. Makes you double check everything, not just the final feel.

Sounds like my crew trying to untangle a massive extension cord last week.
