DEAR ABBY: My favorite uncle was a machinist who taught me to respect and care for tools. Although I ended up in tech, I still maintain an organized workbench in my garage. I often get comments about it, and I’m not sure how to respond. Sometimes in social situations, folks mention it, although strangers walking by also feel they have a right to comment -- “Your garage is so organized,” “I could eat off your garage floor,” and “My garage sure doesn’t look like this.”
