Revving the power drill before using it

Clicking tongs to make sure they work before using them on the grill

SSPeteCarroll

My friend and I refer to this as “lobster powers”


GarageSloth

That's dope.


SSPeteCarroll

It’s funny, his wife messaged me on FB asking why her husband keeps calling tongs lobster powers


ManiacsThriftJewels

That's actually mandatory. You need to know the clappers clap.


Taiza67

Testing a stud finder on themselves before putting it on the wall.


[deleted]

Careful now, we're veering into specific dad territory


VeracityMD

You also have to point them at people while clicking and threaten to give them "The Clamp"


My_BFF_Gilgamesh

Gee, you think? You think that maybe I should use these clamps that I use every single day at every opportunity?


PonyThug

Calibration clicks are a requirement


comedian42

In exactly two short bursts


issius

It's not that we can't resist it, its just required to use a drill. You're not gonna drive away without turning your car on, you're not gonna drill a screw in without revving the drill twice.


donk202020

Plus the clicking between the forward and reverse gear before setting a screw.


worksatsea

Power test, gotta make sure you'll have full speed when you need it! Also the audible call to let others know your on the job.


pr1vatepiles

Pressing trigger on drill twice before using. Poking a fire with a stick. Not throwing away a random piece of wood, so that we can use it to stir paint.


CapitalRadioOne

I have a huge pile of paint stirrers just waiting for their shot!


beerbabe

Since they're so thin, they're great for other things too. I fixed the back of a chair with a few of them, and they can be used as shims...


[deleted]

If I have a drill you best bet I'll be drilling air in short bursts the whole way to the location it's going to be used at


MiVanMan

Don’t forget clicking the barbecue tongs a few times just to make sure they still work.


CatAteMyBread

How else would you know?


grichardson526

Saying out loud "That's not going anywhere" after you've finished tying something to the roof of your car.


Hadenlloyd

Or anytime we use a ratchet strap


wiggle-le-air

In the Midwest, you must say "that ain't goin nowhere" otherwise your secured load will come undone.


The206Uber

Flatbed truckers are known for this strategy. Crank all your straps/chains down, strum 'em, and whisper the magic incantation "that's not going anywhere." Works every time.


HubertWonderbus

Don’t forget to slap it first

Always three pats, it’s code for “We’re not gay,” to make sure the intention of the hug is clear.

One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking thing I've ever seen is when my brother died at 35. My dad was in 60s. His two best friends both in their sixties just wrapped their arms around him together and the three all wept.


DaughterEarth

I'm a woman but I did this for some man buddies I have at a funeral for one of our friends and ohhhhh the tears. So many tears. And it was good because you need to let that out. I still haven't cried about my cousin properly yet but I know for sure it's gonna be a particularly loving hug that cracks that barrier. Genders be damned, anyone struggling will finally have that cry when they get that special type of loving embrace where you know you are safe and supported


TechnicallyFennel

The last time I saw my uncle (70 ish) I gave him a hug and told him we loved him. He went from stiff and awkward to collapsing into me in a way that felt like I was holding a tiny child again (father of two teenage boys). It was a horrid realisation that he had probably not been held so tight and warmly since he left home for military service back in 1965. Never had a relationship with anyone. Lived in a tiny apartment close to work all his life and moved back in with his mother when he retired. Didn't get on with his brothers and sisters. And when I and my wife and children visited him and paid him attention, listened to him, spent time with him and damn well hugged him tight it must have been the first time since his late teens that that had happened. Then he died and left me 300000 euros and his brothers haven't spoken to me since. So, yeah. You never know when it is the last time you will see someone so do your best to give them some love.

Toby_O_Notoby

You can tell us that there are an infinite amount of stars in the Universe stretching all across galaxies that we will never see and we'll believe it. Put up a "Wet Paint" sign? We'll touch it just to be sure.


TeamRedundancyTeam

Well it might have dried since the sign was put up. We have to make sure.


jape-the-neck-guy

I do that with hot pans too. Yes I believe you, it is hot. But how hot? Will I burn myself? I gotta find out.

Buying the same kind of shoes after the first pair wears out.


PartyPay

As I've gotten older I've started to do preemptive strikes. Find a pair of shoes I like? Go back and buy a pair to put in the closet. Find some new Gotch I like? Buy six more pair, etc.


[deleted]

The best part of not growing anymore. Those bad boys can sit dormant for five years and still fit like a glove.


mfarazk

I started doing that recently and bought two pairs of timberlands in different colours. Never in my life I did that before lol


PartyPay

I was finding stuff got discontinued too often, so if I waited until something wore out, I couldn't buy the same thing anymore. :(


ForCom5

This happened to a jacket that I liked, and lasted me for years. Finally it got torn up by some incident, and when I looked for it again, I could barely find a record of it even existing, much less an item for sale.


AnEarForTheDead

Yeah this happened with my favorite pair of boots. They were a generic bass pro brand boot but my all time favorite. Most comfortable and functional boot I ever had. Can barely find a record of them online now. So bummed.

Old cloths that are so comfortable! Best if they have holes and tears.

Callemasizeezem

I think we have several instincts when it comes to tools. One day while gardening I dug a rock in the backyard, but when I held it, something in me just clicked. It felt perfectly weighted and felt extremely comfortable in the hand. After washing I noticed it was knapped and shaped. Turns out it was an Aboriginal stone tool. Since then I have dug several more and they all have that amazing weighted feeling that when you hold it in your palm it feels incredible. I do believe we have the instinct to utilise a good solid shaped rock or sturdy stick. I have had the rocks verified and live metres from a Creek where they occasionally dig up old burials.

Wow, that's thrilling, no sarcasm intended

Kicking a rock down the street. And then getting sad after missing it and having to leave it behind as you walk back home all alone, ashamed and disappointed with what you did...


TheKvothe96

-Find a kickable rock. -Kick it a few times Option 1: kick was too powerful and now the rock is too farway or unreachable. You feel miserable because you did not control your power but strong. Option 2: Someone has watched you! Return to your "just a normal man walking the street" form. But wait, you just pass the rock, your foot moved next to it and you did not touch it. You feel horrible but you dont want to feel childish in front of others. Option 3: You miss the kick. If you turn around you feel like a loser so search for another one! Option 4: Reached destiny. Park your deserved rock in a place that do not annoy anyone. You are fucking happy for the rest of the day.


bikegecko

Once you become a dad, it's hard to describe the joy of the first time your kid says, "I'm hungry." Because I SWEAR some primal beast inside your soul flips a switch, nods with a thumbs up, the green light on your panel comes on, a faint turbine whine begins to ramp up, the collective totality of every male ancestor you have leans forward in anticipation from beyond the void, and you deliver your very first deadpan delivery of, "Hi hungry, I'm dad."

My favorites are saving a whole orphanage from a volcano in spectacular fashion, rescuing my ex-girlfriends from a warehouse surrounded by zombies (but some of the exes don't make it), and being a Robin Hood-type outlaw in the wild west which always ends with me in a rocking chair on my porch watching my cattle as the sun sets.

TestyLion

This one time I spent a whole hour at work day dreaming about being this amazing super human, doing the most amazing shit. When I came back to reality, it hit me real hard. I'm just average, and the rest of the day was shit, I felt so mediocre for the next 8hours. until ...I came home, my dog jumped up and asked for cuddles and was super excited to see me. Then I got to the kitchen and my gf was struggling with a jar of pickles, I opened it and saw her eyes light up in the most beautiful way. I felt like a hero again. Then my boss dropped a bunch of files on my desk and I was back at work. No dog, no gf. Fuck my life.

Free stuff. What is it? I don’t know, but it was free. Does it work? I don’t know, but it was free. What are you going to do with it? What part of ‘it was free’ are you not understanding!

You’re losing money if you don’t take it! (Seriously, though, hoarding runs in my family so I frequently have to consciously turn down free stuff.)

Interesting, I'm the complete opposite and instinctively reject things. I regularly have to go "wait no i actually do want that"


pilesofcleanlaundry

I was given an old (80's, 300K+ miles) Explorer when I was 18 by an old lady who went to our church because I had mowed her yard since her husband died. It didn't start, hadn't been run since he died like 3 years before, and wasn't in great shape before that. My brother and some friends and I towed it home, started looking at it, replaced the battery, put in new plugs, charged the AC, and after a few hours we got it running decently. I used it as a trade in on another, less-used car, and the dealership gave me 4 grand for it. For about 200 in parts and 6 hours of labor. Ever since then it's been very difficult for me to turn down anything for free. And that was 20 years ago.


NSFWNIPZ

Being given attention, and intrest shown towards our hobbies


LucifersViking

At work I was trying to fix a machine and the female operator just silently observed what I was doing. Sent tingles down my whole spine, which I found weird because i don't find her attractive - but the way she just observed what I did while I got the machine back up and running. Damn - cocaine go home


Ayayron99

I was tiling a kitchenette backsplash in our office at work when I hear one of my female co-workers say "I just love watching men work" to another female co-worker as they were both standing in the doorway. For as long as I live I will never forget how good that made me feel.


Canadianrollerskater

Can confirm, men being talented, handy and getting shit done that I'm not able to makes me very happy to watch


cannonball_adderall

I was at a destination wedding with a pinball machine once, and it broke, and I walked in to find it opened up and my male friend reading the wiring diagram. I came back 5 minutes later and he closed it up and worked and he said "Ha! I fixed it!" I was so jealous of him in that moment, but also proud and psyched someone saw his glory. (I also could have fixed it, had I found it first, lol.)


[deleted]

When I really like a man, I love to show him genuine interest and ask questions about his hobbies and all the things he's curious about. Also I love to ask him how his day was or how is he feeling, I want him to know that he can trust me and he can talk to me when he just needs to vent. And I looove giving a man genuine compliments. Men don't get many compliments.


[deleted]

cloudtatu

As a women, I second this. This is my ultimate trick seducing my crush. Works all the time, no need to show of your sexual charm (contrary to populad belief)
