I have a tool box at home. It is fully loaded with various wrenches, screw drivers, hammers, pliers, oil filter wrenches, ratchet sets of varying size and other weapons of mass destruction.
In another tool box I have a drill. The drill is a cordless rechargeable drill with two batteries, a charger and has two screw driver bits clipped to it's base so I can interchange them quite quickly. Within that tool box I have two cases of drill bits. One case has metal/wood bits and the other has bits for stone and other abrasive materials.
I was told over the phone by my wonderful counterpart (Orangeblossoms) that she had attempted to drill a hole in the wall so she could hang a towel ring in the bathroom. Unfortunately, she was unable to make a hole the proper size and, as a consequence, had failed to hang the towel ring on the wall and "Could you come home early and fix it?"
"No, I can't come home early to fix it."
Apparently, amidst all the tools, the drill bits, the screw drivers, etc. she had failed to understand the difference between a phillips head screwdriver bit and an actual drill bit for making holes.
That is a long way of saying that I had to fill the uneven holes she "drilled" with the screwdriver bit, drill new holes and then attach the towel ring. Today, I get to go buy a new phillips head screwdriver bit for my drill.
When I told her that she ruined my screwdriver drill bit she shrugged and informed me I could get another. "Honey! It's not that big of a deal...you can get another one," she said.
I plan on using a pair of her high heeled shoes as a hammer and a pair of earings as fishing lures. They're already in my tool and tackle box.
