The moment I caught myself bagging comics wrong for 15 years

My local shop owner noticed I was sliding the comic into the bag spine-first instead of flap-first and showed me how that puts pressure on the staples, so who else learned a basic thing from a random conversation at the counter?

I actually gotta push back a little on this one. @robert_rodriguez66, five years is a long time but I don't think getting yelled at is the best way to learn something like that.

No way, 15 years?! That hurts my soul a little bit. I probably did it wrong for like 5 years before someone at the shop yelled at me.

Yeah, "someone at the shop yelled at me" - that part got me. What exactly did they yell at you about? Was it some basic mistake that made you feel real dumb, or was it something where you were like "oh THATS how that works"? Because I swear the stuff nobody ever tells you up front is what gets you for YEARS. I'm genuinely curious what the specific thing was that finally made it click for you.
