Well, I've thrown some of those screws out and THEN discovered where they fell out of. And I bet if I hadn't thrown them out then I would have never discovered their origin.
I mean... if your room have a lot of stuff then it might take a while to find the source, if you aren't being pranked. But random screws on your desk will never be as horrifying as random maggots on your desk.
I like to keep a few mixed in with my pocket sand. Increased effectiveness if you gotta throw sand plus you can randomly drop them on people's desks and whatnot.
I keep the good looking screws if I'm pulling something apart as well, filled a whole bucket of old screws, bolts, and nuts and it comes in handy often!
I got a jar on my desk. Its filled with random bolts and nut from various projects. If I just need a one of I'll search the jar instead of reaching for the sorted bags.

You only found enough screws to fit them in a baggie?

Yes. Any yet you will never use a single of those screws in your life. But just in case...

I have an empty Costco container from those peanut butter filled pretzels full of loose screws. I had one for marbles too, but I lost all of those.

I've lost all my marbles a long time ago too

On the other side of that there's dropping a screw and not seeing where it went. Especially with the pointy ones.

And that's when you look in the bag of screws hoping to find a twin but all you find is disappointment

Me placing random yet plausible screws on coworkers' desks:

I'd consider moving if I found maggots on my desk out of the blue

I usually keep one handy at all times, just so I can hold it up whenever the time is right and proclaim loudly:
“Anyone wanna screw?!”

Screws fall out all the time, the world’s an imperfect place.

Or you take something apart and when you put it back together you have a screw leftover. Then it becomes a game of "find the screw hole".
