When I was young in one of our buldings, the super needed to fix the heating system in our apartment. He opened the cover in front of me and the lid fell through. I grabbed a strong magnet and put it on top of the lid, and then pulled the lid through, as a handle for the lid. Then I made it stay up with a screwdriver as a wedge.

Later on I met him and gave him the magnet. For a while we were friends because of that.

It may not be the first time that this has happened, the thought that you could use a magnet as a handle for when you can't grab something. But it's a meaningful memory.
