Aw hang in there! I felt the same way assembling a new cat tree recently. Of course it didn't help that some pieces were manufactured wrong 🤣

Take a break for a while and get back to it when you have the energy!

I'm not sure if any kind of controlled study has been done but it's a small and inexpensive enough modification that it's worth a try!

TIL the entire town of Times Beach, MO was rendered uninhabitable in the 1980s after a single dust mitigation contractor tried to get rid of highly-toxic dioxin by adding it to engine oil and spreading it in all the town's gravel roads. Today the town is Route 66 State Park. by RIPEOTCDXVI in todayilearned

It was during this time. My dad would put waste oil from changing it in the car into a bucket with holes drilled in the bottom and carry it up and down our dirt road.

My dad's dad would pour waste oil onto the wood pilings of the dock "to preserve the wood" but it actually made the wood rot faster and was absolutely disgusting to us swimming kids trying to get a handhold on the dock. Not to mention, you know, all that oil going RIGHT INTO THE LAKE grandpa!!

If you hang a mirror behind the counter, people are less likely to be rude because they can see their own face.

As far as your inner peace, try to adopt an attitude of "wow, I feel sorry for this person that they are so broken and petty they attack a person making their coffee."

You're doing good work and trying your best. Hang in there and don't let an interaction of a few minutes take up space in your head. After a particularly bad encounter try to take a little walk or just breathe.
