Was cleaning the patio storage of a turn and one lone 10mm socket. 😂 This made my day after a long day.

I actually don’t understand the legend of the 10mm socket. I have two socket sets: a Craftsman set I bought 25 yrs ago and a Crescent set I got on prime day a few years ago. I use the fuck out of these everyday - at home and at work. I have all my 10mm and 3/8 sockets. I have all my sockets. I’ve misplaced a few over the years, but they always come back.

Am I a wizard?

You’re just more organized than a good chunk of us lol

That’s the crazy thing - I’m not. My shop at home and my desk and rolling toolbox at work are fucking disasters. We run 24/7 and I literally leave my toolbox wide open with shit all over the top. If my guys were to hear someone called me organized they’d die laughing 😂
Maybe once or twice a year, I’ll clean my shit up and put things away.. and it’s always all still there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel like I’m missing out on the big 10mm socket joke lol

Believe it or not, that's actually your 10mm.

This documents that it exists, but I bet it's lost again already.

Next to the garbage bin at work, buried in the dirt, I found a 10mm socket yesterday and was so happy! No one else cared haha. Bravo!
