Stupid little things that bug you

It was into fire rated drywall and it came with drywall anchors. The problem was that the supplied anchors were crap and disintegrated upon contact with screwdriver and drywall.
I ended up having to use my own anchors that had apparently seemed to have a finer thread that the brass screws didn't like very much.
Lots of slow turns with the flat head screwdriver so that it wouldn't slip off the screw caused the brass to heat up and snap.
You get one more guess and there will be bonus points if you can figure out what I did to make it work ; )

Wax the threads? I'm out after that. Sounds like a nightmare.

I put my own drywall anchors in then removed them and replaced them with the ones that were supplied and I used one of these bad boys to prevent the flat head driver slipping out. : )

I’m normally someone who takes the piss out of whinging old fuckers who think the world is coming to an end because of a few Americanisations creeping into our language.

Having said that.

TV programmes come in series not fucking seasons.
 
Does anyone remember the song Purple Love Balloon by Cud? That’s what pops into my head when I hear about the Chinese spy balloon.

On topic: my **** cat scratched my leg and made it bleed. I have no idea why, I didn’t touch him.

Hard boiled eggs. Picking the shell off which takes 25% of the egg with it leaving you with a egg with loads of craters

My wife can solve your problem...put the eggs in a round tupperware type container with lid on and shake for a few seconds, shells comes off and egg remains intact. It's brilliant, honest.

Are they duck billed platypus eggs cos i never have that problem with my chicken eggs.
Speaking of Duck billed things, did you know they are unique in the animal world ? They are the only animal to lay eggs and then produce milk. In other words they are the only animal that can make an omelette.
