Inspections can be tough. They are never good for those who procrastinate (like me). The stress from it might even take a few hours off your life. There are various moments where you are left standing and hoping all goes smooth. Some examples are having your parents making sure your room is clean, your restaurant is inspected by the health department, or even walking with an inspector to pass a portion of a concrete structure along with the rebar layout to assure its sound integrity. It's all the same. The attitude can be very awkward. Usually we as the ones receiving the inspection tend to by default side to the "butt-kiss" mode. This is where we try too hard to be nice. We stay clear out of their way like they are lepors. Not a word is said. We try to laugh with extra effort at something the inspector mentions or of course ask questions to ease the tension but in return just recieve one worded answers which then kills that option. This is not always the case but with me simply put, I can be a real dork. I dislike with a passion the times where you are done, finished, and totally on top of your game ready to get whatever it is your doing checked, and then that awful feeling of second guessing usually without fail comes up right as something is being checked. Like the "Oh crap, I forgot to" syndrome, where you are just then noticing every single deficiency that comes up right as the authoritarian is staring down your so-called completed task. The cherry on top is when they catch it and you don't. They give you the all too common look that could say something like; "What do you have to say for yourself?". Usually this is when I just shrink and say in a quiet high voice; "I'm innocent".
