Comic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats “Boo!” in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says “kg, cm, km, °C” the American gets scared and screams “AHHHH!!!”.

What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It’s really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn’t quite right, but you can’t work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.
I just hate the fact if 10mm is too big, I can get 9mm, but if 15/16 is too big, fuck me, I guess. Bringing the full toolbox over because what random fucking bullshit number comes before it?
Like I’m here to fix shit, not do math to figure out which socket is one size smaller.
I just read that as “socks”, which made the last sentence really weird
American cars have been using both metric and SAE fasteners since at least the 1980’s. I wish they would just gone all metric so I wouldn’t have to drag out two socket sets anytime I need to do anything.
