OT: Construction question/US-Canada content

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

I am not sure I understood the question...

However I know everytime I do a system startup in Canada, I have to
borrow the Electricians' screwdriver as I do not carry Robertson bits.
 Electricians in general are kinda flaky about loaning a handtool even
though it doesn't leave their site.  I have found that a narrow enough
flathead screwdriver does wonderfully when wedged diagnally in a
Robertson.  This ALSO annoys electricians to no end.

What really keeps me up at night is those damn ramped screw headed
things in public toilets.  You can only turn them in one direction...
How do you remove those?!?

Embracing the Madness.

Chris
