Screwtrusion

When an ice screw bottoms out on rock during a placement before the hanger is flush with the ice resulting in a cantilevered section of the screw body. This event is usually followed by cursing, frustration, and immediate regret of life decisions up to this point.
I wish I had a shorter ice screw with me, the screwtrusion of this placement is freaking me out! Should I clip the hanger or tie it off? Why do I ice climb anyway? This sport is so cold and scary!
