Got schooled by a plumber on my own patio last weekend

I was pressure washing this old broken concrete slab and this plumber neighbor walked by and said 'you know that's gonna crack worse if you keep that nozzle that close.' He wasn't wrong, I was just going through the motions like I always do but he pointed out the angle and distance thing I never even thought about. Has anyone else had a random neighbor drop some knowledge that totally changed how you worked?

Yeah that's a good point. Water pressure is no joke when you aim it wrong.

Had a buddy hit his neighbor's aluminum siding from 15 feet away with a pressure washer once. The stream cut a straight 3 inch gash right through it before he even realized what happened. Took him twice as long to patch the damage as it did to clean the driveway.
