I finally got all the pieces to put my pedalboard together yesterday. I started putting the breakout panel together and decided a couple of the jacks (output and Powercon jacks) would be better if I mounted them from the rear so they fit flush with the XLR jacks. The panel is threaded for these tiny 2.5mm screws, which are perfect, but I need a nut on the backside to hold the jacks up to the panel while I screw the label plate into the front. I don't have nuts that small so I put on some pants and wandered off to the hardware store.
I find what I need in the fastener aisle. The screws are so tiny that I have a hard time threading the nut on with my fingers to make sure they are the right ones. I ended up getting a dozen tiny nuts and two longer screws for the Powercon jack because it's kinda fat. I bagged them up and marked the prices down and took them up to the register.
The clerk is kinda hot. I mean, she's like my age (eww), but she's still hot. She takes my sack of tiny nuts and types them into the register, and I decided to say something clever to her. In a dry, sarcastic tone, I say to her, "Judge them not by their size, they are no less important."
She looked up at me and smirked, and then proceeded to check me out, with the same smirk glued to her face. It lasted long enough to get kinda awkward. I just want to buy some nuts. Finally, she give me the total, I give her a $20, she gives me the change, and I leave. "Have a nice night."
It was only as I was walking to the parking lot that I realized she probably just pictured me naked. The hot chick from the hardware store is a freak, and now she thinks I have a tiny penis because I made a comment about my tiny nuts.
