Tried flexbox for the first time and my navbar exploded on mobile

Spent 2 hours last night fighting with a nav menu that looked perfect on desktop but turned into a jumbled mess on my phone, turns out I forgot to add flex-wrap and now I finally get why everyone keeps warning beginners about it, anyone else had a layout break in a place you least expected?

Ever notice how most things that work fine with plenty of room fall apart when you squeeze them into a tight space? Same thing happens with closets, car trunks, or even a full grocery cart. Flexbox just reminded you that stuff needs room to breathe and a plan for when it runs out. Once you get that, layout bugs start to feel way less random.
