Lost a whole morning's pay on a bad rigging chart download
I was setting up for a lift in Portland last week and pulled a rigging chart from a site called 'LiftPro Guides' that looked official but had the wrong sling angles for my 12-ton pick. We had to stop everything and redo the math, which cost me about $400 in lost time. Has anyone else run into sketchy online charts they thought were good?

Ugh that's brutal, sorry man. It's wild how much garbage info is floating around now dressed up to look legit. I see it all the time with car repair tutorials and even basic home wiring diagrams. People just slap a professional looking logo on bad data and call it a day. Makes you double check everything, which is exhausting but necessary.

What's the worst example of bad info you've seen that looked legit?
