Certified Sticker

I slapped this on the corner of my workbench right next to the scars of a dozen stripped screws and that one lower I dremeled "just a little too much." Now every time I look at it, I feel seen. This sticker isn’t just a label—it’s a declaration.

It tells people three things:

1. I’ve definitely cross-threaded something important.

2. I own at least one tool I “fixed” with JB Weld.

3. Instructions are merely suggestions… and sometimes I don’t even read those.

If you’ve ever assembled a firearm, vehicle part, or IKEA shelf while whispering “this is probably fine,” this sticker belongs on your bench too.

Now everyone who sees my computer knows what I am. Thank you, Ivan!

I identify with this sticker heavily, and when combined with my 1911 mousepad, together they'll always remind me of who I am and where I come from. Such a beautiful message. Thanks guys!
