Bro, this story is wild. You really took one L for the team or should I say, got dragged into it by the team. From dodging the parade to getting busted because of a fart and a snitch? Peak betrayal. 😂

That “wasting time to save time” lesson is deep though. Sometimes shortcuts are just longer roads in disguise. Glad you bounced back and owned the assembly routine after that. Respect.
Keep the stories coming, this was gold!
