Heard a guy at the supply house say 'just tape the neutral' and it made me see red.

That kind of lazy thinking is exactly why we get called out for hack work, so what's the dumbest shortcut you've seen someone try to get away with?

Watched a guy try to use a single zip tie as a makeshift pipe hanger on a full size water line. It snapped before he even got his tools put away. That "tape the neutral" mindset gets people hurt or burns buildings down. There's no good reason to skip the right connector or box.

Saw a guy use duct tape on a live wire once, pure chaos.
