    Because they tried to teach you and you didn’t pay attention. So they ridiculed you when you got it wrong so you might pay attention when they tried to teach you the next time. Plus some things seem implicitly obvious when you know them - like that a 10mm wrench is a wrench that says ‘10mm’ on it in tiny embotted letters that are mostly worn out.

      Meanwhile Dad’s call the channel locks a “wrench”, the pliers a “wrench”, the adjustable wrench a “crescent wrench”, the socket wrench a “wrench” and the 10mm wrench “cheap piece of shit”.
