PSA: Check your glue bottle nozzle before assembly

Was putting together a job in my shop in Austin last week and reached for my Titebond. Nozzle was clogged but I didn't check it. Squeezed hard and the whole thing popped off sending glue spraying across the face frame I had just clamped. Took me 45 minutes to clean it up and sand down the dried glue. Has anyone else had a glue bottle fail on them like this at the worst possible time?

Did a buddy of yours tell you that happened to him too?

Funny enough, it's actually the third time this week someone's told me a story that started with "my buddy's cousin's roommate..." You'd think these things only happen in movies, but apparently they're super common now. I swear if I hear one more story about a buddy's friend getting scammed in the parking lot I'm gonna start charging people for the content. Makes you wonder how many of these "buddies" are even real people, right?
