If you don't talk to them they don't know who's using them and they might not just work ,like on strike when the boss isn't there

Mostly fire breathing objects(boat,truck,tractors,stupid weed whacker,chainsaw etc.)But have been known to cuss the ignorant socket or wrench that wants to play hide and seek.

Hmmmmm sounds like this board is in need of a tool psychologist. Way too much tool abuse goin on in here. Maybe there's a "Tool Dude" out there with a counciling degree that can help us work out our tool "issues"<br /><br />

Re: Talking to tools: does it help?

Well lets see here. I lost almost all of my tools in my last divorce so it goes something like this. " Where the heck could that (fill in tool name here) be ", after looking through four tool boxes.... "That F#@$$%^..^&*() (*&^^%%$$$$%6...&%^#%^^^unt" " I know she has it " "##$%^^*((*&&^%#&%&*&*()__+++. anyway" AND THATS AS CLOSE AS I GET TO TALKING TO TOOLS.

And after all these years of cursing my tools for not being where I could find them.<br />Now to find out they were just playing a game of hide and seek! I feel bad now

I have been known to actually argue with myself. <br />It's when it comes to blows that my wife has to step in and seperate me.<br />And yes to all the above, I talk to the tools. Most of it non-printable tho.<br /><br />AK Chappy

I was just talking to my duct tape today, telling it to stick to a piece of aluminum. <br />It did not listen......so I threw it against a wall. <br />It still did not listen, any ideas?

Classic case of misdirected anger. You need to throw the piece of aluminium against the wall, not the tape.<br /><br />Don't worry, its a common mistake <br /><br />Aldo

Re: Talking to tools: does it help?

Thanks Aldo, I'll have to try that tomorrow, IF I can find the duct tape.

That's okay, just as long as you don't have to ask yourself to repeat yourself.
