IANAL, but people use it on squeaky hinges and knobs and locks, but it sits in the mechanism and collects dust. It turns into a gummy mess eventually, which is the last thing you would want in a lock.

I imagine it gunks up the lock mechanism. I have had to eventually replace locks I used it in.

not a locksmith, but...

One of those candidates for 'worst memorable phrase in history' is the old "duct-tape for things that move and shouldn't and wd-40 for things that should move and don't".

WD-40 isn't a lubricant. It often works to get something un-stuck, but then you need to still clean and lubricate the parts to keep it working.

ENTs hate Q-tips?!

That doesn't make sense to me. But, then again, you are very small.

People sticking Q-tips in their (E)ars and to a lesser extent, (N)oses and (T)hroats.

You're absolutely correct, but op is making a joke about Ents from LotR. A cheeky little pun, if you will.

As someone whose name escaped the skipping record that your name is, I concur.

It's a reference to this character from Catch-22. Unless this is my turn to be wooshed.

Truck drivers hate "four wheelers" because they don't know how to drive.

When they're not in their semi they generally drive a four wheeled vehicle their very own self, presumably being hated on by other truck drivers.

eh, other truck drivers aren't much better. biggest takeaway getting my CDL was realizing just how low the standards are to drive a truck

As someone who used to work with "large" (to normal people; 10k-60k rows up to maybe 70 columns) datasets in Excel exclusively, I also hate Excel.

Psychoanalysts hate those blotchy black & white images of my mother's pussy giving birth to my father who is wielding a knife with my name written along the hilt. "Stop bringing these fucking drawings in here!" she yells. God forbid a man have hobbies.
