Vengeance

[Chozon1]

One day, to my worst enemy, I will replace all of their phillips-head screws with those little star headed ones.

VENGEANCE IS AT HAND. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Orodrist]

I know in construction nearly everyone is moving away from Phillips to Torx. They're so much better you'd be doing the guy a favor.

My limited experience with this confirms this

My semi-extensive experience with electronics work also confirms this.

YOU GUYS SHUT UP.

...Plan B will now have to be thought over...

[Chozon1]

Nothing says "I am wreaking vengeance upon you" like stripping the heads of screws with with a drill. Torx or otherwise, that's nightmarish. So to my worst enemy, someday I will now strip all the heads of his screws until no driver bit is able to turn them.

VENGEANCE IS NIGH. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

I learned that you can use a dremel to cut a straight line right across ia stripped screw, you can use a flat tip screwdriver to remove it



HOWEVER


picture him doing that for, like, 40 screws




...


heh

The idea is pretty funny, but it would take a lot of time and I'm not quite sure how you plan to do it without your enemies noticing.
There has to be a better way of enacting revenge. TP their houses or mess up their gardens or something like that. But, for Pete's sake, leave their screws alone.
The worst that's gonna happen is they'll just go buy some more. It's much harder to restore a garden after all the soil has been dug up and flipped over.

[Orodrist]

Doesn't violence work so much better?

[ArchAngel]

Don't suggest TP'ing. Maybe I missed how it's "harmless" fun, but if my place got TP'd, the perpetrators will find their beloved family pet killed and stuffed with the TP the strewn across my yard
If I'm in a good mood, I'll put it in some awesome pose, like the Thinker of the Heisman. That'll probably be an improvement to their crappy cat or yapping dog.
If it was raining, they get Gangnam style, the Burt Reynolds, or the Macarena.

There is, I believe, a special bit you can buy that actually counter sinks into the screw and removes it rather easily.

But, this is not the point. Not only picture him doing it for those 40 screws, picture him doing it on a piece of tech/machinery he needed to get into quickly. Or at all. Very few things are as frustrating as a nonfunctional screw. O_o I wasn't talking about just messing up a box of screws he had on his shelf. I could've just melted those down into a single block of steel and then put them back into the box.

Come to think of it...I actually like that idea. It'd be hilarious.

As to how I'd do it, a gentle "borrowing" of the equipment and a rather frantic drilling session before anyone noticed it missing would suffice. May have to someone helping as a distraction, but with the right bit and drill, it'd take no more than a few seconds per screw (though I'd have to dismantle it first, to make sure I got the internal ones too).

TP'ing (especially people like Arch, whom it apparently annoys so much) fits more under my definition of "prank" rather than "vengeance". That garden thing sounds nice though. XD

Violence is more...conditional. It works nicely for some purposes, but psychological vengeance can be more entertaining. Plus, you're less likely to get jailed for driving someone crazy by stripping their screws than kneecapping them.

[baconisgood23]

BTW what did they even do to you, anyway?

[Chozon1]

Oh, nothing yet. This is my preferred method of vengeance for in case I need it.

Oh. So this is just prep in case they actually do something?

Some people create zombie apocalypse survival plans.

I plot vengeance.
