Why is this picture taken in an abandoned construction building or something?
-
This is the secret part of Home Depot they let dads into when they can tell you've got a serious project going.

Picard bought FIVE LIGHTS.
-
-
One of the best episodes of TNG.
-
THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!
-

-
Like we give a shit. I'm glad when my projects are under 100
-
That's ageist!
-
Not at my age lol

One time I went in with the intent to buy some big stuff. Ended up changing my mind but I needed gloves.. So I had one of these but just a pair of gloves sitting on it lol
-
My dad used to make get the cart for him so I'd grab these, then we'd roll up to the checkout with a 5 gal bucket and a tape measure or some shit 😁
-
I'm loading this bad boy up with all of the cutest plants
-
The real flex is to use one of these to cart around a single lightbulb.
-
The real power move is to grab one of those contractor buckets and use it as a shopping basket. Because how else are you going to keep all those loose nuts and bolts from going everywhere?
-
I do the revserse and try to put a dozen 2x4s and a couple small sheets of wood into a regular cart causing it to be difficult to maneuver through the aisles.
-
Home Despot - a place for wannabe interior decorators. Like Ron Swanson said to an employee at HD "I know more than you."
People with manly man projects go to real lumber yards where you lean on a counter and talk to a clerk and a yardman pulls and brings you your materials with a forklift and loads them on your trailer - because strapping your load down to a trailer and driving away is a manly man thing to do...........No little carts needed.
-
In Germany we have hardware stores (is that the right description of stores like home depot?) that have a covered outdoor section where you can drive in with your car/ trailer and load up construction supplies and then pay.
If you are a real professional you probably go to "stores" that only sell building materials to businesses or you just get your materials delivered directly to the job site.
-
I feel this way about Lowes vs home depot. Home depot for the real projects, Lowes to buy the designer hammer that never gets used...
-
-
Or you're about to do some Home Depot Surfing!
Either way...
-
If you can find one.
-
How else are you going to show everyone you have wood?
-
Are these not kick scooters
-
I legit thought this meme was about buying one of these.
-
That's the best part, they don't even charge you for them! You can just take them!
-
-
LPT ... push one of these around Home Depot to look like you know what you're doing .... even if you just came into the store to use the toilet.
-
Also helps if you're in one of those stores where the toilets are out in the open like it's another regular aisle. Stack up some boxes and you can position it to give yourself some privacy. Bring along some bottles of water too since sometimes the faucets don't work.

The last time I used one of these was buying drywall because it only comes in two sizes with no in-between, too damn big and patch kits that are good for nothing.
-
Okay, but at Costco these are the way
-
Fuck dads. Subjecting new lives to this world is stupid and selfish at best and scales down to evil.

When I have to grab one of these all I feel is the looming dread of a lot of work to do.
Me too. Those things are impossible to steer with any precision.
Also the actual project..
The trick is too pull them not push
One time I'm loading up sheets of drywall and some kid comes up asking if I needed someone to do drywall. I said no. I went home and hung that shit myself. But I sure thought long and hard about it as I was dragging that cart out of the store.
And I envy everyone who is just buying cute little stuff like a flower or some wall decoration. Lucky bastards! :)
