ONE SIZE SHOULD FIT ALL

I LOVE my friends--they have been such a HUGE SUPER help with my move. We had 7 + painting Friday night and supper brought to us all. What a Blessings!

When I took another load in the truck today, and after unloading and putting away---decided to put the plate faces back on in my bedroom and bathroom that they had removed and mixed in one big pile. I am slightly challenged when it comes to this type of activity--BUT would never let that stop me from trying!

There were several types of plate faces and 3----count them 3 different sizes of screws. WELL NOW---what in the world ? These are all face plates for electric outlets and switches---WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU NEED 3 DIFFERENT SIZE SCREWS???? I'm as good at screwing things in as anyone else---but this took WAY TOO LONG! I had to figure out which screw went with which type of outlet or switch. I am a little unhappy with the screw people---but give them credit where credit is due----the genius in their plan---we have to buy the 3 different kinds of screws. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!

My final question---WHY would their be a plug in the water closet (You know the loo) ?????? I do not require an answer!
