At the bottom of the list, no surprise.
CRKT. Worst sporks ever, must weigh 3oz. (it says 1.5) and has no handle.
Someone gifted me 2 of them, work better for breaking and entering. Awesome at that actually.

Light my fire sucks, hard to remember which end was in use for what and plastic ones snap after a few months...cheapest crap plastic.
Also a gift, someone gets me sporks every year. I don't even like sporks.

Sea to Summit sucks, the ridge in the handle makes it thinner but they don't bend/ unbend to fit in your pot well.

Snow peak is definitely the best spork on the planet, but the cheap stainless tableware from the DollarTree works fine too for 1/20th of the price.

We have a guy going around our neighborhood stealing hoses. I have this pos cracked leaky thing in my front yard he keeps ignoring LOL
Who the hell steals a hose? I put mine on the bib with a small pliers, not over tight, but you’re not gonna take it off with your hand. I guess a live in a sheltered world now, I’m in a rural area, back side of nowhere Michigan. I grew up in the Detroit area, I do remember having to lock up bikes and such, but not hoses.

Not much done so far. Opened up the chickens, checked my stocks, I’ve done pretty well the last few years with cannibis stocks. My latest is Trulieve, from Florida. I expect it to do very well over the next couple of years. I should go work on my grow room. We’ll see...

My stepdad used to tell me don’t worry about the tools people won’t shit to work with...... it turned out to be mostly true..... people won’t steal dirty, greasy tools with no value but leave a nice set of sockets in the back of your truck and puff .

Plumbing repair #3 of the week for me.....Deaths and plumbing problems always seem to come in 3's. But I at least learned something new, and it was an easy fix.

The call...hot water not hot enough. It wasn't a case of just needing to be turned up, like I hoped, and it was making luke warm water, turned up on high. It's a 3-4 year old Bradford White gas heater, which is a decent brand....Well these particular water heaters have a filter in the bottom, and when it gets plugged, the system can't get enough air and won't burn properly. I had never seen this before. Did I mention it's a dirt floor basement?? lol, I popped the burner out, vacuumed the filtered bottom out good, put it back together, and works perfect (knock on wood), or it seems to anyways!!

Stick a fork in me, I am done!

Ours is 30 years old and still kicking, though really want to replace it cause I know it's a ticking time bomb.

An old Rudd? Yes you are running on borrowed time. The average life expectancy is 10 years, but I have seen some make it 30 years or longer. I usually run em til they leak as long as they are in an unfinished basement.

Trying to get my lawn curt before the next batch of storms gets here...

Mine is an "explosion proof" natural gas one, which means the small openings to get air into it get clogged up and put the pilot light out. I just blow it out with the compressor and it stays lit for a few months.

I can't imagine living in a western country like that now.
In Asia you can leave your shopping hanging off your m/c handlebars, and your helmet on the mirror all day, and it'll still be there when you go back.
Petty crime levels are almost zero.

When I worked in the engine plant, they seldom bought chromed sockets. All our stuff was snap on. The chrome tools disappeared quickly. The Bluepoint sockets, same thing but no chrome, never went anywhere.
