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.
