100%! I had issues installing a sink drain so I called their support (it wouldn’t stop leaking no matter what I did). A very candid employee told me that it was my fault for buying it from Home Depot. The drain portion is plastic in the Home Depot box and all metal if I bought directly from Kohler. I eventually ordered the proper metal one directly from them and it immediately attached (I could easily tighten it down) and it never leaked…I installed the plastic one 4-5 times and I couldn’t get it to not leak.

Unless you're allergic, in which case you try and try and try all of these things, always wondering why your friends think you're a wimp for hating mosquito bites so much, but they give you welts for days and you're sick of it, man!

Then this won't work for you.

That’s a good strategy IF you have a steady income. I work in film. I had 24 different employers this year. I had all my W-2 jobs keep extra, so they’d balance out with my 1099s.

Which… I guess is actually still trying to have the refund/owed be $0, but since I’m guessing and have no idea how much I’ll make each year, I’d rather get a fat refund than owe come tax time.

I know it’s an interest free loan to the gov but I’m shit at saving so it works out okay for me
