Tools
I am the primary tool owner in our house - I am slightly obsessive in keeping them in order. My husband borrowed my drill, knocked it over and broke the drill bit. It was part of a matching set of bits, so I asked him to buy me an exact replacement silver 6mm masonry bit. A few weeks later he comes home with a specialised black 6mm bit apparently for drilling uPVC and wood. Failing to understand my annoyance, he protested that it was a very expensive drill bit, and the blokes in Homebase had told him that it was the right one. I asked him which of the listed materials counted as masonry, and he couldn't tell me. A couple of months later I badgered him again. He returned with the exact same £8 drill bit again. At this point I gave up and just got it myself. A £1.77, silver 6mm masonry bit - my set is complete, and my husband will never borrow my tools again.

Must say I'm impressed and that your lad is a girly man
You obviously are wise in the ways of the world. He needs a intensive tool workshop to let him know how to properly function as a man. And I admit, failing to follow the simple specifications you provided is, well, somewhat brain damaged. I bet he's the type that can't stay awake on long car trips and has you drive - not acceptable.

On a side note, just got a Dewalt sawzall that can put a hole in concrete. Hmmmm, demolition.
