    Hardware, wires and installing: Bring out the worst in anyone else?

    Just something about it- matching nuts with bolts, bolts too short or not enough threads, cramped spaces that eliminate use of power tools, lacking enough screws, weak cordless batteries, awkward units, bumps, bruises--not to mention when everything's spread out I have a hard time relocating it--becomes very disorganized quickly. I get it done, but it's not a pretty display.
    I'm usually a pretty calm natured guy, but I became worried about myself after a small winch install effort. Temper, foul language, defeatism, throwing things, pleading with God, etc...Neighbors out for a stroll with intimidated looks on their faces.
    Anyone else suffer from this quite specific malady? There should be a name for it...Really respect the people with the patience, skill and foresight for this..

    Hmmm, you just described my job as an aircraft mechanic. Lol.

      What drives me crazy worse than anything is when they include ultra-cheap fasteners in the assembly kit. In homeowner grade stuff they always have those fragile Chinese screws that strip-out when you put the slightest torque on them — makes me say bad words and throw things.

        When I start loosing my temper with something like that I usually just walk away

        Seems like the more frustrated and mad I get the more things work against me

        Can't tell you how many times I have walked away and come back after I am calmed down and whatever it is goes a lot smoother

          In fact, it WAS the included hardware- bolts too short, wiring way too short. Should've waited but plowed ahead.
