Old timer at the shop showed me how to read a micrometer in 30 seconds flat
Bob the night shift guy pointed out I was holding it at an angle and not using the ratchet stop, took me from guessing to within 0.001 in one try, anyone else have those basic skills you never got taught in school?

My dad showed me how to sharpen a kitchen knife on a whetstone maybe 10 years ago, and I still screw it up half the time but it saves so much money on new blades. The trick is keeping a consistent angle and not rushing, which sounds simple but took me a few tries to get right. Those little skills feel like secret hacks once you learn them.
