Let me call my buddy down here, he’s an expert in screwing stuff.
Strong flashlight. Even in a well light room, getting down there and moving a flashlight around will reveal little screws your eye wouldn’t have ever noticed without the changing contrast and reflections.
The other one is somehow 15 feet away under the most difficult thing in the room to access.
You think you saw it there, but once you move the thing you learn it’s actually a thumbtack. The screw fell into a vent instead, and will occasionally rattle around to taunt you.

It is more amazing when a single screw falls, and it just falls into some portal to hell knows what dimension, while the floor is pretending hard that it has nothing to do with it. That’s why it is sometimes called a hard floor.
This is the reason I’ve taken to carrying a small magnet with me (combined with a flashlight/blacklight/laser pointer), so I can easily pick up those little bits that get lost (my wife cross stitches too, and sometimes her needles fall into the carpet, so it’s nice to find those before our feet do).
I’ve dropped a screw and spent a good amount of time looking for it only to find it in my pocket later, mostly because I work in a smock that has big front pockets so now it’s my first check when I drop a screw
Oh wow now I need a patch that says don’t knock my smock haha
I keep them all in a little Tupperware so they don’t roll all over the place. And then I am real careful not to knock the Tupperware off the table.
The you find it in a spot you’ve looked over thoroughly multiple multiple times 😠
Just use a magnet.
It’s gone to the void, it especially likes small important things and socks
I have compression socks labeled for right and left. 4 pairs. Now I still have 4 pairs, but one pair has two right socks…
I depend more and more on gravity to keep my PC parts in place.
Luckily two us all you need…the rest are just for redundancy.
Someone explain pls i feel (or am) stoopid
they lost a screw
