I get your point. Unfortunately, it's usually coupled with a corollary like "Everybody else, grab the lady with the flag and jam her leg into the hole to plug it up. After all, she has two."

this is me and it hurts

I found the exact nut I needed in my 5 gallon bucket first try this weekend. That kind of positive reinforcement is why I have about 70 pounds of hardware I'll probably never use.
Neither thing was me, but someone is on their A-game

I took two five gallon pails of nuts and bolts for scrap, and I still have a pail left. I guess in a couple years I'll take that one too.

I took all my random bins of hardware, dumped them on the floor, lined up a bunch of small plastic totes, and told my 5 year old to sort them as he felt they ought to be. Now, he's 5, so lock washers and flat washers got lumped together, and screws and bolts, and stuff like that, but at least it's better organized than it was, and it kept him occupied for several hours.
Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Replaced sump pump 2 years ago. Pump that was replaced worked fine, but replaced it with a far more durable unit. Did not bin pump. Cannibalized float off of sump to fix ejector pump with a bad float at 1:30 this morning. Reinforced my ethos of never ever throwing things away.
not technically a meme sorry.
my family bought me a nut and bolt sorter for Christmas and I've spent several hours battling the multi-decade entropy of my shop and am actually labeling what things are and where they go. I look forward to all the saved time when I do my next project in the garage and need "that one size".

Don't know about that installation, but I have been in a place that had transparent stalls like that.
They were actually liquid crystal sheets. When you threw the lock it completed a circuit and made your stall opaque black.
Pretty cool but a lot of money for a one-liner joke.
Sorry, missed the meme:
