Guys, stop flipping your game boards over to save time on setup

I was at a local game night last Friday and watched someone flip their board over mid-game to use the other side for a different game. It bent the corners and messed up the alignment. Has anyone else seen folks ruin their boards this way?

Bro that drives me absolutely nuts lol. I had a buddy do this once with his Catan board and the edges never sat flat again. Like just take the extra 30 seconds to flip it properly, it's not that hard. People treat their boards like they're indestructible or something.

Wait @cameronb52 didn't you say it was a Catan board though? Those hex tiles are separate pieces so you can't really "flip" them the same way. But I get what you're saying for the board itself with the frame pieces. I had a friend who stored his Risk board under a heavy box of books and the fold line got all messed up. Now the middle of the board has this permanent hump and pieces slide off during games. It's like people forget cardboard isn't made of steel or something.
