So, I was just reading a random fic in which a character is busking. With a guitar.
The character has just been collected by another character, and having made a decision, he: "... stuffed his guitar into the case."
This has made me twitch so hard I can't keep reading, because, ARGH.
1) It's been implied heavily that the money he's received has been dropped into his case. In which (ha) case: There's probably COINS in there, which will DAMAGE HIS GUITAR. He is presented as being a guitarist who is busking poor. He will not wantonly risk damage to his guitar, surely?
2) In that vein: one does not "stuff" a guitar into a case, particularly a hard case, which this has to be for it to be open on the ground. Not only does "stuff" imply a carelessness which no, see point 1, but also, they are GUITAR-SHAPED. The only way you can put a guitar in a hard case in a "stuff"-like manner is to jam it in and probably break it, because it's a rigid container the correct shape and size for the contents - putting it in is not exactly difficult or time-consuming.
Okay, I'm done.
