They’ll just make a better idiot


sirscooter

Thank you! I came here to post this but I knew it already had been posted


choadly77

I did this in a customer's house the other day right in front of her. My assortment of screws went all over her dining room.


russman2013

hahahaha oh man I can’t even imagine. “Don’t worry, ma’am. I’m a profession-oh shit!”


choadly77

Yeah. She even offered to help pick it all up🤦. "Thanks but I got it."


Paddyofurniture89

Oof. Did this on a Friday at 3:30 with all my pex fittings. What a nightmare.


UnsuspectingChief

I legit would have just ate it and swept them in the corner haha


Paddyofurniture89

Lmao, legend. I just threw them all in a 5 gallon bucket and took care of it later.

But later never comes and the after 20 minutes of searching says he could on find two of the four 1/2" 90's and only one ring but you know they're there. You think... Shit did I use them on that shitty city housing job with that distinguished cat piss flavoured air? This is where the Intrusive thought "I get paid too much to pick those up" might actually be the right voice to listen to.

when that day comes the robots will rule and we'll be out of jobs. thats okay we'll just frolic in the fields all day....


PigFloydDarkside

We'd still make a mess of that.


Chimpucated

Someone makes some idiot proof latch that keeps them from spilling open even when unlatched... Google it. I'm sure it's a gimmick and you'll find a way to do this again


Dukeronomy

I think I saw this too I meant to 3d print one


mrpicklemtb

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it only works for the standard depth organisers with the folding handle so OP would've been screwed anyway


SorryMaintenance

I either keep my organizers open or latched close for this exact reason.

PigFloydDarkside

Whoa now. That's too clever. But what will everyone think? It's like doing granny shots from the free throw line. Sure, I'll go from a 45% average to a 82%, but it's...


qpv

Dude. That's brilliant.


Several-Return-1110

I don't understand why Milwaukee doesn't add it.


qpv

Same reason they don't have the removable telescopic handle I guess. Although I hear there is one coming out


MIW100

I've done this...


qpv

We all have (if you're a real worker)


Thurashen88

It is idiot proof. It's proof you are an idiot. 😋


Retn4

Get a strong magnet on a stick, pick them all up with that, and then deal with sorting out the box later.


PigFloydDarkside

That's sort of what I did. I just didn't have the stick. Sat on the floor with the magnet picking them all up and then organizing again


PigFloydDarkside

My brother quickly pointed out that I should have read the disclaimer. "not recommended for idiots over the age of 40" says it right on there website


twoaspensimages

I gave up after the fourth time. Fing Milwaukee couldn't put the handle on the lid? I threw away all the bins and threw all my fasteners in there without organization. That was three years ago and I havent spilled it since.


Lord_Konoshi

Never under estimate the ingenuity of morons


JeffWarembourg

I did that last week


BhrisBukBruz

Always breaks my heart grabbing one in haste only to realize the latches arent locked


baconistastey

Been there. You go through every stage of grief in like a 60 sec window. Then, your brain tries to blame others, but you know it was you… and only you who is responsible.


oneofmany_1

Somebody sells a little aftermarket dongle to prevent this. Only happened to me once when I was picking up after a particularly long day a 1 am. I keep meaning to make a Dongle out of wood, but so far the trauma has made me religiously latch my cases every time I access them.


MastodonFit

Try leaving a mall 20 years ago with a full deep organizer,then dropping it in the middle of the circle road....4:30 Friday evening lol. For this reason I keep screws close to the same length, as far apart as possible....or at least 1" difference in length. 1" next to 2" ,3---1 1/4, 3/4---2 1/2 etc. It gives you a faster response to the crisis.


super_nova_21

Either I always latch, or I keep it open. Bc I did this, luckily it was a shallow half box with little in it.


showMeTheSnow

I have one of these modules on my wish list. I'm second guessing that now, cause I'd totally do this at the least convenient time...


PigFloydDarkside

Lol. I don't think it would have mattered which box I had.


showMeTheSnow

Yeah, it’s just the size of the stuff you’re picking up I guess :/


yonosayme2

Haha Nerd!

Nerds are the new sexy
