It's like the guys who carry expensive pocket knives everywhere hoping someone will need to cut something.

You haven't lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.

And then the guys look around & start geeking out over each other's knives.

I always go out with my HP 50g in case someone needs to solve a numerical integration and I'm the only one with a graphical calculator.

I used to work next to this guy. If a box came in, I would just cut the packing tape open with a house key from my pocket… unless he saw me looking like I was about to open the box.

Then I needed to wait for him to walk over with his damn leatherman and flip it to just the right thing. Whole ordeal usually added time to the stupid box opening.
