Heard an old foreman say "tight is tight, too tight is broken" and it clicked

Was pulling MC through a ceiling grid and kept overtightening the straps, then he walked by and said that. Has anyone else had a moment where a simple phrase just stuck with you?

Wait you were pulling MC through a ceiling grid? That's a nightmare, I've done that once and swore never again. That foreman's line is gold though, I still hear my old boss saying "measure twice cut once" every time I pick up a saw.

@wendy_park76 it's wild how those little phrases stick with you forever. That whole "measure twice cut once" thing is basically the rule for everything in life, not just wiring. Even my grocery list gets the double check now.
