Local self-declared handyman James Davidson has been offered a job as a Boeing engineer after his amazing work attempting to put a flat-pack cupboard together and just assuming that the many left over parts are just the extra pieces they add sometimes.

    Screws? Definitely.

    Hinges? Maybe. Depends on how many there are in the whole thing.

      That’s what I thought til I was pittig together some cheap Chinese bookshelf. So cheap and generic that it came in a cardboard box with BOOKSHELF written on it in arial bold.

      That fucker came with an extra backstop and 2 more shelves than could reasonably fit in the unit. Were they extras in case something happened? Were they just a mistake from an overworked Chinese sweatshop person? The world may never know

        Don’t forget to pat it gently after it’s glued together to give it the extra kick it needs to stay solid.

        Works every time.

    I won’t work at Boeing clearly, because there are a lot of flatpack items with leftover hardware lol. There is an inverse corrolation between the brand identity or price and the amount of hardware leftover, probably because the unknown brands expect their users to have never put something together.
