Anyone else keep a baggie of random screws they find around the house?
You only found enough screws to fit them in a baggie?
I have an empty Costco container from those peanut butter filled pretzels full of loose screws. I had one for marbles too, but I lost all of those.
I’ve lost all my marbles a long time ago too
Yes. Any yet you will never use a single of those screws in your life. But just in case…
Well, I’ve thrown some of those screws out and THEN discovered where they fell out of. And I bet if I hadn’t thrown them out then I would have never discovered their origin.
On the other side of that there’s dropping a screw and not seeing where it went. Especially with the pointy ones.
And that’s when you look in the bag of screws hoping to find a twin but all you find is disappointment
Me placing random yet plausible screws on coworkers’ desks:
Screws fall out all the time, the world’s an imperfect place.
Always, and at work too.
I got a jar on my desk. Its filled with random bolts and nut from various projects. If I just need a one of I’ll search the jar instead of reaching for the sorted bags.
I keep the good looking screws if I’m pulling something apart as well, filled a whole bucket of old screws, bolts, and nuts and it comes in handy often!
Or you take something apart and when you put it back together you have a screw leftover. Then it becomes a game of “find the screw hole”.
