Recommendations? Bah!

I have a ton of friends. At least four. And I like 'em.

Here's where it all goes wrong in such a way that your universe too can be subjected to what I call: Recommending Anxiety.

How to do it:

Step 1) Friend asks, "Yo, you know of a good mechanic (or hairdresser, handyman, therapist)?"

Step 2) Reply, "Sure. Try so and so. Wait, I even have their number in my phone!"

Step 3) You just wait. Life is about to get way more anxious.

You will inevitably be with your mechanic, or stylist, or handywho when that professional tells you that your friend was displeased with their work. Perhaps there was even an argument. You will then go to said friend and ask what happened, only to be tormented by an earful of bullcrap about what a terrible recommendation you made.

Follow steps 1-3 for this afternoon's dose of anxiety.
