Just realized I was pressing my signatures too flat after 6 years of sewing them

Pressed mine flat for years too, totally changed my mind.

Realized my shading was backwards after 2 years of drawing at 2AM

shadow should be on the far side" but that's not even always true though, it depends on how many lights you got and where they're at. I've seen plenty of setups where the shadow lands right next to the light source if there's more than one bulb in the room.

Vent: got chewed out for leaving 6 inches of slack at the box, then watched a guy in Tulsa spend 3 hours pulling a new line because of it

That line about "watched a guy in Tulsa spend 3 hours pulling a new line because of it" really stuck with me. It's the same thing I see everywhere, one person cuts a corner to save 30 seconds and somebody else pays for it with hours of their day. I see it at the grocery store when people leave their cart in the middle of the aisle, or on the road when someone blocks a whole lane just to grab a parking spot. Small stuff adds up and the person who cleans it up is never the one who caused it. That is why I get so mad when folks act like 6 inches of slack is no big deal, because it IS a big deal to the guy crawling through an attic at 2pm in July. We all gotta remember somebody comes after us and that somebody usually didn't do anything wrong.

My cousin swore I needed a 56k modem to get on AOL, and my mom listened to him

The part that really got me is your mom driving all the way to the CompUSA in Tacoma and handing over almost $200 because your cousin talked like he ran the whole internet. That is a lot of money back then, and it was all for a modem that could not even hold a connection on your old phone lines. Dave acting like it was his good deed at Thanksgiving every single year would drive me up the wall. My uncle was the same way about everything tech, and he was wrong about half of it but somehow never remembered those parts.
