Seems to me that Elly should be complimented for trying to solve a very common problem that used to happen in many homes, before wireless phones let us walk around looking for what we needed.
It’s like the pens at the bank or the doctor’s office. My accountant couldn’t beat ‘em, so he joined ’em… he put his company name on the pens, bought a package of 1000 and assumes you’ll take them.
You can put a nail in even fairly thin drywall if you do it right. See: set design on stage, you better believe they use paper thin drywall most of the time.
The big thing in homes that might cause massive holes is if you actually are putting it in plaster (or if you whack the hammer through the wall instead of more so the nail. Though I’m not strong enough to hammer through drywall, but some people can even punch through it.)
When we see her whacking the nail isn’t all the way in yet, so probably she’s ok. Good work being on target, in fact, given the perceived arc of those swings!
I remember one guy who says he buys a bag of 100 cheap pens every three weeks and just jams them in a coffee can next to the phone. He doesn’t know what happens to them and he doesn’t care.
the guy on the other end of the phone is probably wondering what all the banging is about
Look again: the phone is back in the cradle. She did the hammering after hanging up.All she needs is to have plaster walls of wood and lathe. That’ll requiring hammering to put in a nail.You can push a nail into drywall with just your thumb and a dirty look.
I keep my pens and pencils behind my screen monitor and put the bad ones at the front of my desk. So it is the bad ones that get stolen in the office at work.
When you need a pen or pencil, there’s none within a five hundred mile radius. When you don’t need one, you trip over about eighty of them just walking between two rooms.

Don’t go complaining to Michael, El, when you see him with that pencil you just hung.

Hyperbole. Comic strip physics. And who lives on the other side of the wall of a house?

Elizabeth is well known for many qualities. Common sense is not one of them.
