Morning!
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The Bitch asked me to put up a new curtain rod in my mom's room yesterday. Remove 4 screws from the wall, 4 screws for the new brackets, put up rod, Bob's your uncle. 5-10 minute job MAX, right? I go to take off the old brackets & one of the screws is stripped. It won't come out, I can't drive it forward to hide it, there's not enough sticking out the bash it with a hammer until it breaks, I don't have one of those stripped screw remover bits for my drill, so I grab the vice grip, lock that sucker on & start turning & turning & turning & turning...the asshole that put this bracket up used a 3 inch wood screw & actually hit a stud dead center
Shit like this happens
EVERYFUCKINGDAY
Today's simple task? My niece needs a bed & my stepdaughter has an extra that she wants to get rid of. So I get to take that apart, jam it into my SUV (I don't think it'll fit, but The Bitch does, so why bother measuring, right?), drive out to my niece's house & put it back together. I have
ZERO confidence this will go anywhere close to smoothly.
