I wish that were true. Then I would just go to that corner and find all the stuff I'm missing -- probably all those missing socks. too.
Recent frustrating experience:
Trying to thread the screw into the nut on a springy cable clamp for those bike that don't have top tube braze-ons for the rear cable routing. Clamps on the top tube of a Peugeot PRN10 in this case, but could have been a bunch of other examples from the 70s. Dropped that little, bitty nut about 3 times and then got out the small, needle nosed vise grips. Took way to long crawling around retrieving that nut.
