Ugh, tell me about it. @hugom26 is totally right about the cancel button being a secret quest. I had to call a phone number and listen to five minutes of "special offers" just to quit one service. They make it so easy to sign up with Apple Pay, but to leave you need a map and a snack. It's like they're betting we're too lazy or forgetful to jump through their hoops. My wallet is full of these little $15 leaks.

My old tape measure's blade snapped back inside the case last month. It was a cheap one from years ago, but the timing was awful during a big project. I've been using a metal ruler since, and it's just not the same.

My buddy Mike tried one on a dare back in college. He said it was like chewing on a bitter, dusty piece of tree bark. He spent the next ten minutes spitting into a sink and trying to wash the taste out with soda. It completely ruined the soup we were making because all we could smell was that awful taste. I never even considered trying one after seeing his reaction.

Clean edges on every shot" is the dream, and I had the same thing happen when I finally learned to properly tension my film back.

Honestly, is it that big of a deal? Most art gets seen on phones now, but that doesn't mean you have to change your whole process. Maybe your friend just saw it differently, not wrong. Isn't some of the charm lost when you keep checking a tiny screen instead of trusting your own setup?
