PSA: I asked my neighbor in Austin a simple question about his sprinkler system last week and got a two hour lecture on water pressure zones.

He pulled out a binder full of charts from 3 years ago and insisted I needed to understand the municipal flow rates before I could even pick a hose nozzle, which honestly made me wonder if anyone else has a friend who turns a basic 'ask anything' moment into a full blown seminar.

I used to find that annoying, but now I see the value in a proper hose setup.

My buddy Mark spent a whole weekend trying to wash his car with one of those cheap, kinked hoses. He got so mad he finally went and bought a good rubber one and a proper nozzle. Said it cut the job time in half and the water pressure actually worked. He laughed about how stubborn he'd been, avoiding the upgrade for years. Now he says it's the best forty bucks he ever spent on his garage. I guess sometimes the annoying thing is just a sign you need the right tool.
