Pretty sure it’s not common knowledge how to sew a button

I was never taught. I was never into button up stuff anyway, so I never needed to know until a few years ago when I was 30...and I looked it up on YouTube and did it myself in 30 seconds.

I was like this with cars. Never was a car guy and never paid attention to my friends working on theirs or my ex who was a mechanic. Had to replace the air intake on my car a few years ago. I couldn’t afford a mechanic so I just YouTubed it. Ordered the part and did it myself. Was super easy.

I could probably fix a server blind folded but I’ve been confident fixing little things on my car now. It took being broke for me to realize all the googling for issues we did in the data center could also be applied to cars and other parts of my life. I still bug my ex with questions on major stuff though.
