Re: pic: You know you're a FIRSTaholic when...
that's hilarious!!!
but it rarely happens to me...
I do my own laundry and normally clean my pockets of money, change, and the occasional nuts, bolts, etc.

Re: pic: You know you're a FIRSTaholic when...
Well, sometimes our garbage can is inconveniently placed a little ways from our working station, so I get these occasional clipped zip ties and wadded electrical tape in my pockets, and if I get lucky, a bolt here or there....
Sometimes I get a scrap metal souvenir if I'm lucky enough .

this has definitely happened to me! Being the main electrical person, it's usually wire connectors for me.. but there have been screws, nuts, and drill bits, too..
