Things you've used as a hammer
What are some things you've used as a substitute to a hammer?
Last night I was using an Altoids tin.

Rocks, an axe, and a shoe.
Those are the three that just pop into my head at the moment.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

A shoe, rock, screwdriver, and a butter knife--none of which were very effective. If only I could say a head; that would have such a great story behind it. A painful one, but entertaining nonetheless.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

I can't believe no one's said a book. Or am I the only one to mistreat books like that? Today I attempted to get a nail in the wall to put up a picture and the only only only thing handy that was solid enough was a tiny feng shui book that I'd just unpacked.
it was use that or the M80 box. I'd rather not put any more dents in it box than there are already, though.

I used the bible once. Is that a hell-worthy offense?

Only if you injured the book.
I used my old cellphone as a hammer a couple times. I miss that phone. It had three alarms that I always set five minutes apart to wake me in the morning. It was 3 years old and died shortly after its attempt to hammer a nail into a mirror backboard. It wasn't using it as a hammer that killed it, though. It was running into the ocean with it in my pocket and only realizing it was there when I was in waist deep.

i love that this topic is universal enough that literally almost everyone can think of a situation in which they've used a random object in place of a hammer.
it's almost worth an emo heart. but not quite.
shoe. hairbrush. frying pan.

you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

Aw, now you've made me feel exceptionally left out. I'm going to go sit in my corner, alone. My dark, nail-less corner, and hoard all of the hammers.i love that this topic is universal enough that literally almost everyone can think of a situation in which they've used a random object in place of a hammer.

BOOKS? You should burn in hell for all eternity for that...
(I used to be a librarian)
I've used a porta filter (the part that you put espresso grinds in and snap into the espresso machine) at the coffeeshop I worked at. It was the one we used to clean the machine, the obligatory single spout filter loaded with a backflush basket because what shop is going to use a single spout filter? So while they are rather expensive to be used as hammers it wasn't like we needed it to be in good condition since all we did was backflush the ports with it.

It's not like I'd go to the library, pick up a book, take it home and think "Oh! I should use this instead of a hammer to put up the nail for this picture! YAY, RUINING LIBRARY BOOKS!"BOOKS? You should burn in hell for all eternity for that...
(I used to be a librarian)
I use my books. Books that probably won't exist past my 30th birthday. Books that no one in their right mind would give a damn about. Wanna know why? Because they're *my* books. If I had nothing else, I'd be willing to burn just about any of my books to get a fire started. I love books to death, but of the ones I'd use instead of a hammer or to start a fire, there are other copies out there. No big deal. They're solid, won't break and work well as impromptu hammers. As long as I'm abusing my own stuff, why care?

Slightly off topic, once when I was in high school I was cleaning out all the stuff that had sunk between the mattress of my waterbed and the sideboards and found my hammer. That seemed like a very random place for it to be.

O_O There's a good reason they won't last past your 30th birthday... you're using them as hammers! Do you have any idea how much work goes into making one single copy of a book and the huge tradition behind it? Books are living creatures which must be treated gently and with great respect. As John Milton said, "Books are not . . . dead things, but do [contain a certain potency] of life in them . . . as active as that soul whose progeny they are; they preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy . . . of that living intellect that bred them." That is why I care that you are abusing books, be them your own or another's.It's not like I'd go to the library, pick up a book, take it home and think "Oh! I should use this instead of a hammer to put up the nail for this picture! YAY, RUINING LIBRARY BOOKS!"
