My buddy tried using a flathead to open a paint can last week. The whole tip bent sideways and flew off, nearly hit his dog. He ended up with a ruined screwdriver and a huge dent in the lid. Some people just never learn to use the right tool.

Honestly, I did the same thing with a vegetable peeler. Was scraping away from myself for ages before a friend pointed out you get a better, safer peel going toward you.

A whole week of extra work... that's brutal. I can't believe the storm took out half your markers.
