Haha, same here, along with the 10-24 nuts that are required when we need to use 10-24 shoulder bolts or something COTS that needs them. We try to standardize to 10-32 and 1/4-20 depending on the application. This lets us use a single double ended open end wrench for almost all the nuts. Sadly even with only 2 sizes we need almost every alen key in the set due to different hex heads being used for different bolts (the button heads are smaller than the socket heads, etc...) as well as set screws that don't have nuts.
