one of the subtle indicators of the douchebaggery that has infiltrated American culture can be seen simply buying screws. So many woodscrews come with their own “special” bit, rather than using the widely standardized system that makes lots of different tools work together. and its done thinking they might manipulate you into just buying more of their screws. so quality is replaced with manipulation.
Some call this “good business” or “smart”. And those people are the douchebags we are referring to.
