Rant: The cork board at my laundromat turned into a free advice column

There's this big cork board by the dryers at Suds 'n Stuff on Elm Street, and for months people kept pinning up complaints about stain removal. Last week I finally taped a 3x5 card with my grandma's recipe for getting red wine out of cotton using salt and club soda. The next day, someone wrote 'works on coffee too!' on a sticky note and stuck it right next to mine. Now there's like 15 tips on there from different people, eggshell to grass stains. Has anyone else seen a community board turn into something way more useful than whoever hung it up probably expected?

Folded a flyer wrong once and it changed how I check bulletin boards

I was grabbing a flyer off the board at the laundromat on 14th street and noticed the bottom corner was bent up on purpose. Turns out someone folded it that way to mark which events they already snagged. Now I do the same thing at the grocery store board near my place. Saves me from grabbing the same handyman card twice in one week. Anyone else got a system for keeping track of what you already took?

This guy at the hardware store swore by belt wax for table saws, I called him crazy

Been using it on my old Delta saw for 6 months now and my cuts are way cleaner with way less burning on oak, has anyone else tried that trick from the bulletin board at Hill's Hardware?
