This is so me! I've done stuff like this countless times. If something is obscure, I'm good at figuring it out. But if it's obvious it goes right over my head.
I mean it could easily be fake, but why? At first glance it's a well organized board and you'd think things should follow the trend if somebody was that particular about setting it up. Her first instinct was wrong though and so it took her a few seconds to correct herself.
I really love this. Every brain derps, from time to time. When emotionally supported, the derpy brain will laugh and still learn. It will learn better then a derp moment that is met with backlash. Let us laugh and learn from our foibles
Seriously, first impression is that they should match, it's so well organized, it's an easy assumption to make. Now should she have gotten it after like one or two tries, sure, but hey, I've seen way worse.
I think the Jolly person meant the Wrenches in the Top right. They are hung by the hole. But in her defence it is a little visually out the way, and the context clues people often look out for are near the object they are dealing with, which would suggest to hang it the way she initially was trying to.
those holes are usually functional parts of that style of wrench too though, so not up or down in that case. Same with the ratcheting wrenches below them. Here's a ridiculous example

Faked for your pleasure. I’m guessing it’s not a new concept.

See? Not all stereotypes are true
FentuckyCriedKhicken
Actually if she could wrench it really tight on the hanging nail, it might work really well
beeeeeeerkaaaaa
It's true. Wrenches are not sharp tools.

If the owner drew the outline of the tool on the board it would make it easier for other users

She was looking kinda dumb with 8 fingers and a thumb.....

Wait, it's not "She was looking kind of dumb with a finger and a thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead"?

This is why tool outlines are often painted on the board

Of course it's not the sharpest tool. It's a wrench!

I mean a lot of people would've never figured it out
CanadaDryGingerMale
Stop trying to use the jaw. Adjusting it won’t help. Better to flip over and put it in the hole at the bottom.

I mean, I have done this with my own tools… that I’d already been using for years…

It's a wrench, it isn't supposed to be the sharpest tool in the shed.

lisp
Sure it can; someone who has never used or perhaps even seen most of these
thrashingcows
I give her credit…she didn’t stop, walk away or get frustrated she just kept trying different things until she found the correct one! 👍
thelastonestanding
I agree. Also I too do this. And I'm the tools guy in my friends group. It's a lot harder than you think hahaha.

Or immediately ask for someone to show her. Commendable

if she closed it while on the nail at the bottom, it might've stayed lol. That would've been funny.
sleete
Give it a few thermal cycles and it'll fall off. Might be able to open all the way up and hang it from the head slides back and forth
vegivamp
Could've hung it sideways in the hole from the mobile clamp mechanism...
k5user
TBF, everything else on the pegboard there looks like it's hung right side up.

pineapplecatastrophe
Totally, even the little clamp next to it was not hung by the handle hole. Initial reaction would be to keep things in the same orientation
BklynPunisher
I thought she was going to pinch the nail with the jaws as she closed them.
It would have worked, not too stable but it would work.
zFUBARz
There's also several items with two or more pegs meant to brace the item, which would work too if somebody wanted to over engineer the solution.
jollyjuggalo
Except literally every wrench.
xizar
Someone who doesn't tool might decided it has a similar shape to all the other tools hung in that area.
kruug
You mean the double-sided ones where both ends are "up"?
PectorialMuscles
I wouldn't wager that this problem solver inherently knows those are sockets, not just hanger holes
ZackWester
another might be that she did not see the hole when she was holding it.
zFUBARz
Not sure why the downvotes, you're absolutely right.
JustDontCare

kruug
It's a combination open-end and box-end wrench. Both sides are useful tools, so "up" depends on which end you're currently using.

great point. Fucking huge wrench
