Ha! I'm no longer a Padawan so, like you, I'm well acquainted with the practice of spreading things around to the point of saturation. It's not only PTFE tape

Ha! I'm no longer a Padawan so, like you, I'm well acquainted with the practice of spreading things around to the point of saturation.
It's not only PTFE tape that I spread around in copious quantities, other notables on the list are screwdrivers (of various sizes and types), superglue tubes (they go off with age anyway), propelling pencil leads, keys, USB and computer cables, USB pen drives, computer mice, adhesive tape, remote controls and any number of useful things.
The trouble is these supposedly inanimate objects come to life in the middle of the night and conspire not to be available when I most need them. Then the moment I've made do by jerry-built means they suddenly reappear! ;-)
- dtgriscom 4y agoWhen I was a kid, my mom's theory on pencil purchasing was that if she bought enough, the house would be so saturated that you could shake a curtain and a pencil would fall out.
- hilbert42 4y agoHum... Clearly, I'm not alone. That's at least some comfort.
- geerlingguy 4y agoAlmost every night I pick up 3-5 pencils around the main living area at our house. Somehow there are always dozens of pencils around, but finding one with a working eraser on the end is as rare as finding a unicorn.
