Local self-declared handyman James Davidson has been offered a job as a Boeing engineer after his amazing work attempting to put a flat-pack cupboard together and just assuming that the many left over parts are just the extra pieces they add sometimes.

I won't work at Boeing clearly, because there are a lot of flatpack items with leftover hardware lol. There is an inverse corrolation between the brand identity or price and the amount of hardware leftover, probably because the unknown brands expect their users to have never put something together.
