In the 21st century, has someone not invented a screw thread which
always aligns perfectly? Even a simple bottle top never goes on
straight, you have to turn the bloody thing backwards to make it jump
into place.
Methinks what you are looking for is called a "cork".
BTW, we teach our children the "turn it backwards" maneuver.
In the ordinance business we had to unteach that trick for guys
installing long time delay bomb fuses.
Oh boy, I would have been mincemeat for sure because I am unteachable.
Are you a "whoops I forgot I wasn't supposed to do that" kinda person? We have drivers like that around here :-/
