The screw is a lie.
Possibly second, however it may be that someone posted a comment before I posted this one so this may be the third or fourth comment.
Not first, though.
You also must be familiar with the feeling when you’re vacuuming and you hear a rattle in the pipe.
FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!11!!!1!!!!!1!1
Most people I know that have the ability to repair anything with “tiny screws” say “F. this” and grab another screw from the big box of screws in their desk.
“What is this rattling sound?”
“Hmm…sounds like about 27 tiny screws rolling around in there…”
This made me LOL, and I thank you.
Also:
Small plastic cup designated for small screws: 2$
Fancy shmancy magnetic screwdriver set: 30$
Spilling ALL the tiny screws in the cup aaaalll over the place by whacking it clumsily with your magnetic screwdriver: Priceless
Ah… yes it is priceless. I was about to make a stupid comment, but my stepdad got a magnetic screwdriver for Christmas. About five seconds ago I could hear that rattling noise and the cursing which means he just did exactly that.
Must be one big box of screws…seems like everything I take apart has different sized tiny screws. >.<
and dont forget poking your finger with component leads and burning yourself or plastic with the soldering iron
you forgot “switching the power off then on again”
and “hitting it a few times”
Don’t you love it when you lose that tiny screw, and somehow the entire appliance will stop working?
Of you ‘find’ the screw weeks later while walking around barefoot?
Why do they make screws so tiny! It would be more than acceptable to have just 3 big screws instead of 99 tiny ones.
What of the TINY SPRINGS???
There’s a whole different set of special physics for them. They teleport into another dimension just as soon as you take your eyes off of them. Gods help you if you drop one. It could be ANYWHERE within the multiverse. Just hit some goober in the eye in Narnia or something.
As for the soldering iron, it’s extra special to get wrapped up in something (like watching the tiny springs so they don’t disappear, while trying to balance holding a wire in and getting the solder ready with one hand) and grab the wrong end of it.
The most fun is when you delicately dismantle something with 900 tiny and intricate parts to get at the one plastic mechanical bit that cracked, laying it all out carefully on a large piece of paper and little bowls and TV dinner trays and whatever you could scrounge together to keep it organized in the exact relative positions and orientations they originally came from… and then the cat comes in and ‘helps’.
Solid state media. Touch sensitive controls. Yeah, I like that better. A LOT better.
Hard drive magnets save my life
I am very familiar with that, now I use a transmission filth-collecting magnet to keep the screws around, unless they are non-ferrous… then I am SCREWED!
