Installed new weather stripping on the garage door into the house and they didn't even bother to put threads on the one screw.

Nailed it.

Riveting!

Spiraled out of control

I tried to install a luggage rack on my car and the screw holes for the cover plates weren’t tapped, I feel your pain. Didn’t matter though because the cover plates didn’t align anyways so just left them off instead of tapping the holes myself

You can't just post lewds to Dull Men's Club!

Put some threads on! Geeze!

Someone at the factory accidentally disabled hyperthreading. You only get a core.

Look how dull that screw is, it's perfect

[riskable@programming.dev]

I didn't think it was possible but you just put a new spin on screwing.

[riskable@programming.dev]

I'd say this is fastenating but obviously it's not!

I work in a manufacturing environment and keep all the weird anomalies that turn up in our hardware inventory. I have screws and carriage bolts with either half-formed or non-existent threads, keps nuts without the built-in washer, fiberlock nuts without the nylon, washers that didn't get the center hole stamped through all the way, screws with off-center heads, Phillips screws with a ghost of where the Phillips hole should be, zinc-plated screws that only got half-dipped, a pop rivet that had the pin pressed cross-wise through the shank, and my favorite piece is a ball bearing that was packaged with a bee nestled inside the hole.

I say attempt a friction weld.

Are you able to share pics of your collection?

[vonbaronhans@midwest.social]

I'd be interested to see, too!

[atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io]

That's not a screw, it's a Phillip's head nail.

My favorite one that I have found was a tape measure with exactly one error. The 2' 0.5" mark was marked one sixteenth off. The entire rest of the tape measure was accurate.

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

Actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you. I'm stealing this if I ever get the chance.

Things I'd like to put in a sturdy balloon or wrap in aluminum foil and blast out of a canon for $200 Alex!

Nothing will make you irrationally hate someone you've never met than owning a home.

[dukeofdummies@lemmy.world]

Oh my god we just bought a house and I feel this too much.

The previous owners will constantly shift between roberts, phillips, hex, and flathead within the exact same sheet rock wall.
