    a paddling buddy was big into the Nikken thing and kept trying to push it on me

    so t told him about my dad wrapping a fridge magnet to his arm with a tensor bandage

    Dad claimed it worked, I think the fridge magnet was from a local RE agent

    I remembr thinking this was all beyond funny

    Holy shit. I’m not the only one who mindlessly put stacks and stacks of paper and files through a industrial shredder to make a few bucks.

    Had it down so I could read and just push stacks onto the conveyor belt.

    I just had to go finish off a deer that my wife smoked with my truck. Shit happens and we live in deer country so it easily could have been me but that wasn't a real ideal way to start my morning. At least it was only body damage to the truck and now maybe I can get a fancy steel bumper?
    Did you use a maul?

    Fortunately no. But as I got into the car to drive home afterwards it did cross my mind that it was a better experience than Iceman's.

    yeah part of the job was picking up dirty magazines from the customs lockup, think a hardcopy version of porn hub 40 yrs ago,

    I had reams of the stuff to read on the job, they would use the same pictures and change the stories to the usual scenerio

    Mines rough tough and from red bluff. Watch out for that left hook. She made me buy a boat last year. A real Outdoors person. Smartest thing I've ever done.

    We're currently cleaning our old house in anticipation of renting it out. Wifey is a fantastic cleaner - detail oriented, hard working, tough. She decides that in order to clean the bathroom she's gonna get some drill brush attachments so we can really go to town on the tub and such. Great idea, I'm all on board.

    Wifey cleans bathroom #1 while I vacuum and sweep upstairs. I finish and come down to offer help, and she is red in the face and flustered.

    "Your stupid cheap home Depot drills are no good!" she yells at me. "I barely put any pressure on them and they give up!". Earlier I had made the mistake of making her privy to my "real tools vs Ryobi" debate, and not being particularly handy, I went with the Ryobi tools because of cost vs. performance vs. expected use cases (I'm clearly not a contractor, as anyone who reads the home remodel thread can attest to).

    I calmly take the drill from her and turn the torque up from 2 to unlimited. "That should do it, let me know if you have any trouble".

    "Wow, how'd you fix it??" She stares in amazement while pushing the drill with both hands into the sink bowl. I start explaining torque settings, show her on the drill, and she rolls her eyes "Nevermind, thanks for fixing it".

    Love my girl, but she isn't a cleaner. Luckily I am and our girls inherited my weird Scottish fetish for cleanliness too.

    There is not a screw in the house that my wife has driven that is not stripped. And they all have to be removed because nothing is in the right place the frst time, or the second. And when she removes a screw--no matter how stripped, rusty, or bent it goes back in the box. (She also saves dead batteries and light bulbs. At least there are less of those nowadays.)

    Does your drill have a 1 and 2 for RPM speed also? Torque dial on the drill I have plus a switch that has a 1 (slower) and a 2 (for the fastest RPM's)

    When she starts running anything plastic through the dishwasher before throwing it away we'll talk.

    I get asked to help hang flower boxes, then get yelled at for taking too long because I'm trying to drive screws in straight, and preferably into something that will actually hold, so she says "let me do it, I know how to use a drill."

    Then when it's time to take them down for winter, she complains that it's taking too long to get the screws out (because she drove them all in at weird angles and stripped half of them) and that the cedar shakes behind the boxes are splitting from multiple years of screws being driven in not quite the same spots.

    Sigh.

    Sounds like you need some sort of bracket or hook and to stop drilling screws every year?

    Many people regret buying a boat.
