I need an easy way to loosen a screw and bolt that's been rusted together from water exposure.

I don't have a torch.
I don't have a dremel or a saw that I could use. I'm out of penetrating oil. And I don't have a bolt/nut splitter/breaker. I'm definitely not trying to save the nut and screw. I'm just trying to break an old shower chair down so that I can throw it out. The trash collectors here refuse to take anything big and that's not in the receptacle that they tell us to put stuff in. I've got the majority of it in pieces, there's just two screw/nut combos holding two pieces together that I need to separate. Together, I can't just throw it in the receptacle. Apart, I can.

Hammer
Grinder then if you have one/can borrow one
I don't know why they recess the screw heads into the damn chair bars, knowing full well that the screws will rust over time. It's just stupid.

I've been using a hammer. I've been beating the living shit out of it. It's just not doing anything. It's been good therapy though.
I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. At least not close by.Grinder then if you have one/can borrow one

fellow drivermeNow in this 30min ride we talk about some of everything like Uber, kids, schools, neighborhoods, just some of everything. At dropoff pax gets out, we say our goodbyes but then the main pax turns back and comes to my driver window and hands me a $100 bill and tells me it's for my kids! WHAT?! I wanted to get out and hug the man but he walked away. I sat there for a sec holding back tears. I couldn't believe it!fellow driverYes. Good people do exist. And congrats on an amazing tip! I will admit to having mixed feelings about this. But that's on me.meWhat do you mean by mixed feelings?fellow driverOn one hand, it's awesome. I am thrilled for you. Truly. On the other hand, it's disproportionate. People love to give money to people who have kids they can't afford. I am not sure if it's charity, guilt, or condesention. As a white, male, non-breeder, I would never get a tip like that.me"Have kids they can't afford" !!!!! Are you serious?! I should have never asked for an explanation. SMHfellow driverPerhaps you shouldn't have. What do you object to in my statement? I am interested in hearing the other side.meI care not to go back and forth with you. That's not why I made this thread. Just wanted to share my joy with other drivers. So thanks for your feedback and sorry you feel that way. I'll pray for people like you.LOL. That's rich. Please pray for yourself. I don't need your prayers.

Was the "kids they can't afford" comment warranted in his case?
Also, holy shit! They still make the Pro Co Turbo Rat?!?!? I had one of those back in the 80s. I bought it back then for like $20. Amazon's selling it for $100 now.

What is so wrong with saying people shouldn't have kids they can't afford?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that at all. What I'm saying is that the way you said it to him, according to your own post, my knee-jerk reaction was that you seemed to be condemning the man you were talking to as a person who shouldn't have kids. I know, or at least, I hope that's not what you actually meant, but looking at it objectively, the dude could have felt that you were condemning him the way I initially thought you were. So I'm asking, was it warranted to imply that, even though I know logically that that was more than likely not your intent?
Did you intend to insult this guy with a veiled insult, and was it warranted? Should this guy not have kids?

I was simply pointing out that the person received the tip as charity for the tale of woe they told, rather than any connection to driving. And since people love to give money to people who have children in poverty, putting yourself in that circumstance, then spinning it as a circumstance beyond your control, increases the likelihood of receiving gifts of charity. Since I do not have kids that have to go to a shitty school in a shitty neighborhood, such acts of kindness are less likely to gestured toward me. So while I am truly happy for the woman, the level of giving to people whose circumstances (regarding children) are largely self-inflicted, is disproportionately directly to poor children.
Expanding...The cycle is stimulated and perpetuated when bringing more kids into shitty circumstances increases benefits. This is true of almost all poverty programs and also true of charitable giving.
