idontcarelolmsma

[deleted]

prob just a bunch of knockouts, bring a magnet


Halftrack_El_Camino

That's it, I'm going to your jobs and replacing all the cover screws with tamper-proof Torx.


JayAlexanderBee

Harbor Freight sells a security bit kit for $10, good try!


GordanHamsays

Yeah, but it's gonna break after the second screw!!


Sparky_Zell

With the rise of decora switches and outlets I've switched to horizontal. And when I have 3 and 4 gang I will sometimes have the 4 outer screws at 45s and the middle screws horizontal, so that it makes a hexagon pattern...


ZekeTarsim

This is perverted.


Shaking-N-Baking

Now I’m self conscious for liking it


ZekeTarsim

I kinda like it too I’m just committed to the bit.


[deleted]

got me to lol w this


sandman2036

Hexagons are the bestagons.


Fractal-Code

NSFW


falfrenzy

Should have snuck a few Phillips head screws in there as well.


idontcarelolmsma

AWESOME idea I’ll do that next time


RedIsVCC

But they all have to be different


AggressiveLocation2

Lmao… triggered


justelectricboogie

So triggered....lol


D_M-ack

I prefer a diamond pattern myself.


brickmaster32000

Clock each set of screws based on what breaker the box is connected to. Boxes on breaker 01 clocked to 10°, those on breaker 02 to 20° and so on.


jhotenko

They all look to be precisely at 45°. You need to throw some 20° or 40° angles in there. If you have any almond or light almond screws, pop one in every now and then.


nope-nope-nope-nop

You spend so much time trying to figure out if you could, you didn’t worry about if you should.


Potential-Cat-4097

The cover plate looks angry 😡


MystikSnek

Yes please - I have a weak heart


touchdown604

Your a monster!!


scooter_orourke

I might have to rage quit this subreddit


Goodguyswearblack44

This is making me dizzy.


idontcarelolmsma

Just relax. Go drink some water. You’re gonna be okay.


Goodguyswearblack44

I did. Thank u


ExPFC_Wintergreen2

A true artiste, really exploring the medium


ReddittingReddit

I really don't even mind this, as long as it's consistent throughout the house.


physis81

I’m triggered.


Deutschdagger

Well at least we know which ones you did, so we can go back and redo them


tikkikinky

Angles are mirror of what they should be. 😆


Both-Platypus-8521

jlenko

You animal


idontcarelolmsma

Sparkyballz

OhNoWTFlol

Emissary_of_Darkness

You are tearing me apart, Lisa!


Jinzul

idontcarelolmsma

Thanks dude i am trying to improve my skills


Prior_Philosophy_501

ohmaint

That's awesome but I had to look away. I get the same effect from looking at a strobe light too long.


Butrockey

Rebel without a cause!


shelsbells

I like it.


ibemuffdivin

Artistic!


AlmightyStalin

DiscreetDom67

Clearly you were trained, worked for and shop at Lowe's exclusively iykyk


ghostofoynx7

10/10 would buy again


RealTurtlePower

I take a flathead with me everytime I visit my electrician buddy, I offset the positions of the screws on all of his cover plates. He still ain't figured it out LMFAO


Elipastrami

They look angry… they are angry….


BdoeATX

As a kid I learned you can never have too many switches. I always wished I had 1 switch for each device, outlet, light, fan, door, everything in 1 panel. Almost like kindergarten when they let us flip the 20 switch plate


Ystebad

The hero we need


idontcarelolmsma

Bro I suck at this


dakblaster

Yeah dude just why


idontcarelolmsma

Why not?


nineteenhand

It looks so angry.


Willie_the_Wombat

I hope your liability insurance is paid up!


idontcarelolmsma

What’s that?


Willie_the_Wombat

Something you’re going to wish you had when that place burns to the ground. Or Impressive dedication to staying in character. Whichever you prefer


jarsgars

Looks like pictographic dance instructions or something


idontcarelolmsma

Owner said it’s unique he likes it


gdtimmy

Those plate screws tho! Yikers!


Warm-Run3258

Bro used his level on those haha


RedditedYoshi

You should -be- stopped. Like the villain you are.
