I think the beauty of these is we've experienced them all...

Here's a few I left out while we were building (someone needed the computer to go through the shipping/drayage rules...):

--teenage females become dubbed 'the distraction' and are asked to leave the build area.

--zip ties are to FIRST as duct tape is to the universe.

--the soldering iron becomes known as the 'cauterizing iron.'

--you don't have time for food.

--the first thing that pops into your head when you hear 'build' is 'robotics.'

--you can't help but make a joke every time someone talks about 'nuts.'

--half the time your commands incorporate pauses in the wrong place so that what you're saying can be interpreted as something rather sexual.
