I don’t even remember it being dented in that spot. The physics of it are a mystery to me.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Everything is defective now, and everyone will victim blame you, for brooming too hard. But a broom has always been built to withstand a strong brooming, until the 80s or so. Every penny has been shaved, ever corner cut. Instead of carbon in the steel, they use shit. They cut the amount of steel down to the absolute minimum to sell it to you before you break it in normal operation.
Don't let anyone blame you for this, it's a conspiracy of the manufacturers that shipped all of our jobs to slave labor factories overseas in a race to the bottom.
"So, what would you say are some of your weak points?"
"Sometimes I just broom a little too hard!"
My enthusiasm for the job is sometimes more than the provided tools can handle.
This can also be said by workers who rage out and destroy equipment. Just a different kind of enthusiasm.
