Just realized my shop's cooler humidity was way off for months

I had a bunch of tulips wilt in two days last week, which felt wrong. I finally checked the cooler's built-in gauge and it was reading 40%, but my cheap digital hygrometer from the supply store said 65%. I swapped the old gauge for a new one and kept the digital as a backup. Now the flowers look fresh for a full five days. Has anyone else found their equipment giving bad readings?

Man, that's the worst. It's like your cooler was just casually lying to you for months, lol. My old fridge did something similar where it swore it was at the perfect temp, but my milk kept going bad in like three days. You start to question your own sanity. Glad you caught it before more flowers bit the dust.

Wait, it was off by 25%? That's a huge gap. How does a gauge get that wrong without anyone noticing?

Ugh, tell me about it, @anderson.taylor. My car's gas gauge is a pathological liar, so I feel your pain.
