No, give it to me, I'll put it somewhere safe. You'll never see it again, but it'll be safe.

Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.

When disassembling something, always tape the loose screws onto it using marking tape or transparent packing tape (whichever doesn't break the item's surface.)

This way I never misplaced screws.
