    Railroad won’t allow SS bolts on their bridges, and for good reason, to soft. Can’t get them tight enough to hold and they fall apart. We did use them on little things, but nothing that took a lot of vibration or held much weight. But you are correct lube helps, and tighten with wrenches only.....

    Impact definitely sucks to get them off with. If they're galled up that wrench on the other end is gonna beat your palms up really bad.

    Need your input:

    Say you are at WallyWord and you are patiently standing in an extremely long like. The isle next to you has two people in it, but the cashier has notified the last two people that stepped in his line that his register was closed. A couple walks by with a few items in a buggy, goes to the closed line, get notified, and then inch their buggy sideways in front of yours, breaking line in front of you.

    Would you speak out or would you be silent?

    Also, those ugly Christmas sweaters in the men’s department are on clearance going for under $6 apiece, and there are a couple people picking through them. Do any of you wear those things?

    I might if said couple isn’t old, but on the other hand is it really worth making a big scene over? I mean most people these days don’t admit their wrongs and the guy would just get all pissed off thinking you’re somehow the bad guy and that’s already way too much tiring trouble for my lazy ###. However, I’d find it hilarious if this happened to someone else and they made a huge scene by yelling something like, “Dirty dirty line cutter!”

    I would politely inform them that the line ends somewhere behind me. What follows depends on their response.

    No. To each their own in this case though.
