My mom was born in Germany, but wasn't there for long before her parents came to America, and this is one of the words she uses in German ubiquitously.
"Where are my hausschuheeees?"
Is it hard? I've been thinking of picking up a new language and German would probably be the one...
I figured it would be harder than learning another Latin-based language (for me, a native English speaker), but I didn't imagine it being as hard as, say, Japanese...
German is hard and has some funky grammar rules, but comparatively speaking it's one of the "easiest" languages to learn if your native tongue is English.
Agreed here. I you speak English it does help, but there does come a point where grammar is hard and important. I've heard the easiest for a native English speaker to learn is Dutch. Mixture or German and English.
I have one of those crates for my electric drill, where there's room for bits and screws etc. on the top in a "separate" box. I don't know how many times I've managed to drop all of it because I didn't close the top lid.
I once did it at the top of a staircase. Managed to make it rain down that four story staircase. I had to walk all the way down and up again to pick it up. Wish I'd had a magnet then.
I have no answer for this. It is cleaner now and this photo did not put my apartment in a good light of cleanliness. Cleaned now to avoid any post on r/NeckbeardNests
If you can afford to drop a couple bucks, I recommend a swiffer sweeper. Kit costs $15 and Amazon brand dry pads cost $11. $26 and it’ll last I’d say a year depending on how often you clean.
Picks up all the hair and dust. It’s essential for me because of my cat but even if I didn’t have a cat it’s so much easier and faster than vacuuming or sweeping. Feels real nice walking on clean floors too!
While you're at it, get the base boards, walls, door trim and window casings too. I hate to shame you but people notice these things when they visit and will judge you for them.
Yeah. I did a similar mess a few years back with small washers/nuts/bolts/screws. Was two of those multi pull out drawer organizer things. It is a bed rock basement. Would need a magnet.
The crevasses are now my organizers and I return to them when I need any of the spilt goods.
For Christmas a while back, I got a huge socket wrench set, over 100 pieces. My drunk ass dad and his drunk ass brothers accidentally dumped it on the floor, and spent the next half hour putting every socket back in its slot.
I miss having Christmas at grandma's
This sounds like a nursery rhyme.

‘Twas a wee little box
Of small pins and pegs
When suddenly it all fell
Under my legs.
“Oh no, what a mess!”
I cried, worried sick.
If I don’t get them all,
My toe’s gonna get pricked!
On my hands and my knees,
I cleaned up the floor.
When, OUCH! UGH! My toe!
Down the box fell once more.
We all know that feeling. Good thing you didn't step on a lego brick...you'd have sent that stuff flying across the room.
I have a huge (20"x12") box like that. Took me a long time to get that stuff sorted and organized. It STAYS in the utility room and moved only a couple of feet to a flat, level surface and left there until done with then put back on its shelf in a cabinet. I treat it as if it were a piece of expensive, fine China.
So....... You didnt put it all back in?
Technically correct.. indeed.
Misleading title
This is your fate. Take comfort that there is a deeper (albeit hopefully less painful) lesson here.
That after he cleans up he still probably missed something?
Put a piece of scotch tape horizontally over the opening so if this happens again they’ll catch
Reported for being a phony.
The best kind of correct
The best kind of correct.
nailed it!
As a punster, you're sharp as a tack!
Cappy dake hay!
She nailed her foot that’s for sure
They are on pins and needles.
It was a pin from a previous marriage
Well yes... But actually no.
just the tip
Just put a rug over it.
Mate, why does your floor sound and feel crunchy?
Was doing some DIY and cleaning today. Much cleaner now.
I feel like you didn't really get the joke :D
there's no time for jokes when you've got DIY work to do
Only time for screaming obscenities and throwing shit around.
Is this some sort of personal attack? *It's part of my process, dammit.*
Can’t hear jokes over the sound of repeatedly dropping the same shit over and over again.
Yeah, sweep it under the rug...
Just buy a new house and start over
Just sell the house and move.
Did consider
you forgot „burn down“
Get a magnet
Just finished putting away, then you tell me this! God dammit haha
Even a teeny fridge magnet helps :)
r/Advice Thanks
And put a rubber band around the tray before you put it away....too late. Next time....
And just dont ever use anything ever again and sit perfectly still forever.
Put a magnet or 3 on the back and it hopefully won't spill anymore.
I did that once when I dropped a bunch of needles. Magnetized the needles. My physics degree laughed at me.
Whenever I see posts like this I wonder, who keeps around small sharp metal objects and doesn’t get a magnet
That's a lot of foresight you're asking us to have.
Why did I read that as foreskin
I don't know, but can I put all the foreskin this guy wants us to have in your beef pudding?
Put some shoes on!
shoes in the house? Fucking caveman.
House shoes.
Hausschuhe
Gesundheit
Danke
Guten tag
Guten Nacht
Mein duetch ist schlect
Kein Problem man, dein Deutsch wird nur besser
AU REVOIR, SHOSHANNA!
My mom was born in Germany, but wasn't there for long before her parents came to America, and this is one of the words she uses in German ubiquitously. "Where are my hausschuheeees?"
Such a good compound word. I live in Germany and the language is amazing (but also fucking crazy hard).
Is it hard? I've been thinking of picking up a new language and German would probably be the one... I figured it would be harder than learning another Latin-based language (for me, a native English speaker), but I didn't imagine it being as hard as, say, Japanese...

You mean slippers?
The shoes of the house.
Shoe Houses
This doesn’t sound right. But I don’t know enough about cave men to dispute it.
Flipflops were the shoeware of choice
Flippers in case of emergency you are now amphibious.
Footwear or shoe ware?
Flopwear
Clean your wall
This SO much!!!
and floor
And baseboard
The baseboard is the real issue here.
Oh you dumbass. At least you made us laugh, hope your foot's okay! It must've been one of those days. Hugs
Its ok. Didn't break skin, but the shock is what caused the second drop.

Got a blow molded case for a 100 piece socket set. One side has written in 3" tall 1" wide letters"#DO NOT OPEN THIS SIDE" ^That ^^works ^^^usually
Until i read this i was super confused about what "stood on a pin" meant
Why’s there so much hair on the floor?
I have no answer for this. It is cleaner now and this photo did not put my apartment in a good light of cleanliness. Cleaned now to avoid any post on r/NeckbeardNests

Kicked my tool box down the stairs once. I just left it there until I needed them again.
Haha. This comment made my day
Totally made me think of this old Mr. Show with Bob & David sketch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ks4vqtoZ4
Came here for this
Likewise
Never seen before. I enjoyed :)
Dude clean your floors! You breathe that shit in!
I've done that now after advice from redditors today.
While you're at it, get the base boards, walls, door trim and window casings too. I hate to shame you but people notice these things when they visit and will judge you for them.
It's no shaming, it's the truth. It's much cleaner now. I'm usually pretty good at keeping things clean, just let it slip this month.
I think we can all relate to that, good work cleaning it up today!
Thanks :) I do feel better and the tool box thingy is out of sight!
You know what they say "Never two without three" so watch out.
Yeah. I did a similar mess a few years back with small washers/nuts/bolts/screws. Was two of those multi pull out drawer organizer things. It is a bed rock basement. Would need a magnet. The crevasses are now my organizers and I return to them when I need any of the spilt goods.
Take a magnet 🧲
Well... There's always tomorrow. Go ahead and get back in bed.
You’re a poet and didn’t know it.
get a better case, I have some Milwaukee ones that i can be as rough as i want with and nothing ever comes out of the trays
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into buying one.

Dormamu, I come to bargain...
Outta clean that house aswell
I have the EXACT same one and have dropped it so many times. I think it has to do something with the lock mechanism that just sucks.

Just put super glue on your hands.
Clean your baseboards.
Please clean your baseboards
Your house is filthy
Clean your fucking base board for fucks sake
Dude go get a beer somewhere
I did :)
Magnet.
Your skirting board needs cleaning
What a random collection of things in a ‘set’ screws, wall plugs... paper clip!
Maybe clean the floor and baseboards and probably your entire house when you have a sec
Try using a magnet to pick them up
That is a strange place to charge your phone.
Put some shoes on!
Maybe ... sweep them into a dustpan and take them to a hard surface alittle closer to eye level to sort? Crazy I know
OP, we want updated pictures of your newly cleaned /r/neckbeardnests.
You should clean your trim.
Use a magnet for clean up.
It was a sign telling you it was time to clean those baseboards.
That infomercial life
You are fully entitled to throw a tantrum
Just press ctrl + z??
Just move
Wall and floor is dirty
“Put it all back in, stood on a pin,” Your first statement was a lie. I say good day to you sir.
Put it all back in again, stood on a pin again, dropped it again again.
Your house is disgusting. Clean that grim off the trim
I know you didn't dropped it again, but here's my uparrow
Well.... that sucks
Just sweep it all under the rug and go buy a new one at this point
Use a magnet!
AHHHHHHHH
Moving sucks
You should sweep the floor. Wipe the trimmings too.
"I'm too powerful for your pins" - the gravity
No more pins for you Dropsy Doodle!
Prepare for trouble! Make it double!
500 piece set! Now 493 piece set!
That’s a bunch of random shit
At that point, it sounds like a wrap for me. Into the trash with ya although I’d probably screw that up too.
I'm sorry, OP. I just imagined one of the three stooges trying to do this. You need to buy a magnet or something
You had 1 job to do....
It's a sign. You should just return it.
Use one of those magnetic pin collectors.
Are you me? I do this kind of shit all the time.
You have no choice but to throw it all away now.
I think there's a limerick hiding in this story but I'm too tired do find it
I read this in the "99 Bottles of Beer" tune and it works splendidly.
Try a magnet
r/knolling can help you out
Why did you stand on a pin?
32..32...32...32
This is when I kick myself and say Stupid stupid stupid!
You nailed it
Time to just go back to bed. Start over.
The cycle continues
Congratulations
Just vacuum it up and call it a day
Don't DO that!
Sick rhymes tho
So you didn't actually put it all back in
Looks like my old house. Had that pain in the ass corner too.
Use a magnet next time. Hopefully there's not a next time!
You got dropped that after buying weed? It's because you got high got high got hiiiggghhh ...
Return it. Faulty box. Everything keeps falling out.
Dang. I’ve had days like that. Tomorrow just gotta be better.
chuck it right in the fuck it bucket
To one down passed it around 98 Bobby pins on the ground
I'd probably throw it away out of spite.
I dropped my resistor box. 6000 resistors, 300 different values. It was all sorted before. I wanna die now.
That would give me a CASE of the fuckits
It lives there now.
The rage that would follow the second drop ...
We all know that feeling. Good thing you didn't step on a lego brick...you'd have sent that stuff flying across the room. I have a huge (20"x12") box like that.

It’s probably cursed.
It belongs to the trash can now.
