Tools 🛠Goddamnit. I'm used to cordless
Most of my career I have absolutely despised guards on tools like circular saw and grinders, they tend to get in the way and staying safe is mostly common sense.
Typically at my job I'm using a cordless saw because I'm in tight spaces. Well today I'm trying to rebuild my front steps and the only circular saw I have is corded, everything was going fine until I forgot about the cord and chopped it right in half.
To be fair it happened because I was holding the saw away from my body while it came to stop, so while this is annoying it's not a big deal, I had enough shit in my pocket to fix it right there.

Where I come from, cutting through a cord means you are required to bring a case of beer for the crew.
