Cleared out my work van and found exactly 37 orphaned wire nuts
It was a slow Friday, so I decided to finally tackle the mess in the van. I had this old coffee can I'd just been tossing extra parts into for months... maybe years. When I dumped it out on the driveway to sort, I started counting the wire nuts. I hit 37, all different colors and sizes, just rolling around loose. The weird part is I remember being so careful to put them back in the right bins on the truck. It's like they were breeding in the dark. I guess a few slip into your pocket on every job, and they all end up in the same sad can. Has anyone else done a parts audit and been shocked by the sheer number of one specific thing you've hoarded?

My buddy found a shoebox full of mismatched screws in his garage. He swore he only saved the good ones from old furniture. The count was over two hundred, which is just insane.
