I’m not following. I thought op was asking for others’ opinions. Meaning there is zero text and a pic in the post. So others are saying for me, it’s ABC…my .02

Like you, I found the original post to be open-ended and wanting others’ opinionsI suppose if we have to stay on point with the edited title of this thread, my answer is no.
To be honest, I found the humor in the OP, which is what I thought it was really about. It maybe should have been posted in the humor section. I may be wrong though.
I credit both broken and stuck bolts for increasing my vocabulary.I get more satisfaction out of removing a stuck bolt without breaking it first.
Has the topic been changed? Oh my Force, how do all the answers now make any sense? On the other hand, based on the off-topic replies I often get on my threads I wish I could change a topic header to fit the incompetent replies better!I suppose if we have to stay on point with the edited title of this thread, my answer is no.
Removing a SHCS that has a broken ball end in it.
That and busted knuckles.
Rocket Socket to the rescue. They work where other similar don't . The in between sizes like 9.5 made my day.

Then walking in to the office acting like it's a normal thing and the planets didn't just align.

The post was about the best feeling in the world. For this guy it was getting a bolt out. Other posters had their experiences to share. Nothing wrong with that.
This reminds me of the time I was helping my dad with his 240z a 7-8 years ago when 1 of the 2 bolts for the t stat housing snapping on him. (Thankfully it broke on him and not me. Lol)
He was freaking out as that’s in the head. Sure enough, the bolt somehow snapped after it was loose so we were able to back the broken stud right out. No idea how it worked out this way, but it was definitely a very good feeling.
He ordered new OE bolts after this.

If they didn't learn it from you,they would learn it at school on the playgroundBy some strange coincidence, it increased my kids vocabulary as well.
