Remember that time we tried to use hand signals and I just gave a full salute? We spent ten minutes figuring out if the coast was clear or if I was just being weirdly formal. My team still brings that up to roast me.

Haha @abby189, my cat tried to "help" me fix a laptop once and now the keyboard has permanent paw prints under the keys!

Specific details show you've already put in some work, so people feel their effort won't be wasted. A vague question can seem lazy, like you want others to do the basic thinking for you. Giving context makes others want to match your effort.

Ever try that with a can of tomatoes instead?

Wait, you're telling me Dave has never seen a single bolt stretch? That's hard to believe. I've seen it happen more than once, @kelly.jenny. Bolts are made to stretch a little, but doing it over and over weakens them. The longest I heard one of his trucks go was maybe 80,000 miles before a major gasket leak. That's just pushing your luck.
