I actually had someone think I was being snooty when I explained to him what a queue was. And what is a Robertson Screwdriver? A Robertson is a square heard screwdriver. And I did not know what a queue was until today. I've seen those screws, but never a driver for one. Now I know the name of it. Is there a formal name for the star shaped screwdriver?

I honestly could not tell you. I do not remember the last time I even held a screwdriver.

Do you know how annoying it is when they bring you a stack they've been saving since 1972 and you have a 10 person line up? Ugh That would be annoying. I would hate that. Next time just tell them, sorry today is non Canadian Tire money day. They might buy it..... Ah you just grin and bear it really...Like we do with that guy up there Besides...if I count really slow they all just go to the other till What guy? And yes that would mean less work for you. Hope she didn't me ME! Surely she knows we're all joking! Besides... I LOVE Canada. Some of my best friends used to know (of) some Canadians. No, I think she meant the guy that called me an ignoramus.

I THINK it's called a TORX. I think it's called that because whenever i go to fix something and there's a screw with a star head, it really TORX me off.....

I wanted to say Philips. But was not 100% sure. But Tngx is correct. A 6 point star screw drive is indeed called a Torx. I looked it up.

That's the 4 point, I meant the 5 (although I guess it's 6 really) point one.

Canadians are always polite. There is no crime in Canada and no one ever gets angry. They have nice big noses to prewarm the artic air before it hits their lungs. Canadian women, I'd like to bite (nibble on) such a nose.
