Rant: A client's rash taught me to verify product dates
I used a serum from the back shelf without looking at the label. It was past its expiry and caused irritation on her skin. How often do you check your stock for old items?

The door of my fridge is a museum of expired condiments. I found a ketchup bottle from two years ago last week, and a salad dressing that turned into a science project. It's wild how we're so careful with client-facing stuff but let our own things slide forever. Your story just made me realize it's the same lazy blind spot, just in a different room of the house.

Watched my buddy pull a jar of pickles from his fridge door that had turned fully cloudy. The mayo beside it had a weird greenish layer on top, and a soy sauce bottle was leaking sticky brown stuff onto the lower shelves. He just shrugged and said he kept meaning to clean it out after work but always found something else to do. Made me realize his fridge was just like his messy car, a personal space where he let everything go because no clients ever saw it.

My old roommate had a jar of salsa in the back that grew actual fuzzy mold on the lid.
