Got a tiny horizontal scroll bar ruining your perfectly aligned layout? Just slap overflow-x: hidden on it and call it a day. Problem solved, right? Wrong. Sure, the scroll bar disappears, but so does half your content when users resize their browser. That dropdown menu you spent 3 hours positioning? Gone. The mobile nav that slides in from the side? Clipped into oblivion. But hey, at least there's no horizontal scroll anymore. The !important flag really seals the deal here—because why fix the root cause when you can just nuke it from orbit and make it impossible for anyone else to override later? Future you will definitely thank present you for this one. This is the CSS equivalent of duct taping your check engine light instead of taking your car to a mechanic.
