Sometimes the glue type isn't the main issue. Proper installation needs a very clean surface and enough drying time. If the wall had any leftover old adhesive or wasn't flat, tiles will pop off. What did the back of the fallen tiles look like?

I always dismissed city rocks as just plain granite or concrete until last year. Finding a piece of gneiss with really clear banding in a parking lot chip made me realize the whole foundation here is a mixed-up history book. It totally changed how I see the built environment.

My buddy Dave had the same issue with his fence in coastal sand. Every big storm would knock sections flat. He ended up digging deep holes and filling them with concrete around each post. Now his fence stands through hurricanes. @abby_martin28, your point about sandy soil is spot on, it just won't hold a regular post. Dave learned that the hard way after replacing three panels before going the concrete route.

Ghosts scared of laundry day? That's pretty out there. @wren_scott39 mentioned static cling, which is a funny touch. But is any of this actually serious? Spirits don't even need clean socks. Getting creative is cool, but it's just a ghost story.

Calling someone selfish can just be an easy way to shut down a different choice. Sometimes you have to put your own needs first just to function, you know? Setting a boundary isn't the same as being unkind. It seems like people mix up self care with being uncaring. Why is looking after yourself seen as a bad thing these days?
