      No, give it to me, I’ll put it somewhere safe. You’ll never see it again, but it’ll be safe.

      Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.

        When disassembling something, always tape the loose screws onto it using marking tape or transparent packing tape (whichever doesn’t break the item’s surface.)

        This way I never misplaced screws.

      It took me like 25 years to learn to not set shit on top of a ladder. If I carried something up a ladder with me, it comes down with me. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve thought “I’ll totally remember this hammer up here (this time)” only to climb down, immediately try to move the ladder, and get clobbered in the face by the falling hammer that I forgot about the second it left my field of vision.

      If it’s not within my field of view, it might as well no longer exist. Especially if I need that item.
