Our house is 30+ years old and most the sliding closet doors were hard to open and close. I saw a video showing household tips & tricks and they used petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to lubricate the doors and now (2 years later) they still slide along effortlessly. You have to be tall enough to reach…

WHY YSK: I see a lot of employers now calling the entry wage offered their "minimum wage".

Why YSK: Saying “at least” implies to the other person that their problem isn’t that bad. In actuality, their problem is bad to them and that’s what matters. It also dismisses them and does not let them finish speaking about it. “At least” shuts them down. They should not have to defend why their…
