I'm not even surprised when I find screws under stickers or rubber pads anymore, it's become all too common. And like a dad, at this point it doesn't make me angry, just disappointed.
It does tell me a lot about what to expect from the manufacturer though. Anyone who actively hides their screws is no longer on my side, they've just branded themselves as an adversary. At that point I know I'll be better off buying 3rd party replacement parts, I know to ignore any "recommendations" from the company.
