Shoutout to the folks at the Tulsa county fair who saved my great-grandpa's pocket watch

I was showing it off at a display table when a kid bumped into me and it flew out of my hands onto the concrete. The crystal cracked and the second hand bent, but a guy running the antique tool booth had a tiny screwdriver set and showed me how to open the case back safely. Has anyone else had a close call like that in a public place and learned a quick fix on the spot?

My uncle fixed a loose chair leg at a bus stop with a zip tie from his bag.

Wow, I read that zip ties are the duct tape of the 21st century.
