Shoutout to the old timer who saved my draft last Tuesday

I was working on a commercial building near downtown Austin and had my ventilation layout completely wrong for the third floor. A retired drafter who was picking up blueprints at the shop saw my mistake and showed me where I misread the existing ductwork. Has anyone else had a stranger save them from a big error on a deadline?

Last time a kind stranger tried to help me with a drawing I ended up deleting three hours of work instead. Glad yours ended better.

Wait, you accidentally deleted 3 hours of work? That's rough. I used to think those "helpful" strangers were just gonna mess things up more, honestly. But after my experience where someone actually saved my file instead of wrecking it, I totally changed my mind. Some people really know what they're doing and just want to help out. Now I actually look for comments from people who seem legit, but I still save a backup first just in case.
