i guess im just having a hard time understanding why you insist on making fun of people like me and my friends in the neighborhood do you also post complaints on nextdoor when everything isn't precisely to your specifications in the neighborhood? are you like an HOA board member?

Well thanks for nothing. And you call yourself a hardware store? All I asked for was an extension cord with plugs in both ends and I explained it to you like 3 times it was for the string lights and you just lecture on about safety and it being illegal? I'm taking my business elsewhere! I hope you like ruining my kids christmas now we have to drive all the way down to the Ace in Berkeley Springs.

I wear my special doin stuff cargo pants and jacket with all pockets on like John Goodman's in Big Lebowski and kneepads and steel capped boots and I enjoy having the opportunity to use my electronic-powered staple gun that makes a very fetching whizzing noise and I secretly pretend that I am riveting a space-ship of some kind in a futuristic setting

*Finishes an entire afternoon putting up lights. Gets down just as it's getting dark to see my neighbors rip open some boxes from Home Depot and fill their yard with giant lighted inflatable Christmas decor that move and make music. Spends 2 hours repeatedly screaming at my family about how, "I bought one of those things 2 years ago. ONE of them, and the whole neighborhood turned the gently caress against me because they said it made the place look cheap and tacky and blower was going to keep them all up at night! Now look at them! DON'T give me that poo poo that times have changed! I spent $100 on an inflatable SNOWMAN that I had to give away to Goodwill! Look at Wilson's family over there! He spend days bitching at me over the snowman being out for one night, even AFTER I'd gotten rid of it and it was the New Years, and he's put up a God-Damned giant inflatable display of the AVENGERS pulling Santa's sleigh! God, I wish Thanos were real but that would mean half of these hypocrites would still be here loving with me..."

*remembers the Home Depot extension cord incident from last year* Excuse me, where is the electrical section? My uh, car, uh block heater needs a new plug. I definitely don't intend to use the plug to make a double male prong extension cord. This cord here is for something else. *goes home and finally plugs in the Christmas lights he put up last year*

Doesn't even want to put these up. All we need is a wreath on the door, a bow on the lamp post. But NO! The wife insists we HAVE to have a bunch of lights. She bought them, she'll stand down on the ground and direct the installation, she'll take all the credit for them, but I'm up here on the roof for 3 hours trying to get them all installed. The critique and mockery she unleashes about my skiills, intelligence, and manhood are so painful hat even after the successful installation I found myself getting down from the 2nd story roof by jumping off.

There was a house in my neighbourhood that had this big rear end Simpsons Christmas decoration on the front of the house all year round because it was a bitch to put up. It was like a massive picture of Homer dressed as Santa getting electrocuted by Christmas lights and Bart pointing and laughing. When they turned it on Homer would flash. It was up so long that the thing eventually started to decay. They finally took it down when they wanted to try and sell the house.

*in hardware store* I got all the way across my roof and realized I strung my Christmas lights backwards, like with the plug on the wrong end. Do you have any couplers that go male end to male end?

If you hang your lights the wrong way, you can't connect the female ends of the plugs together to get all of them to light up. Rather than hang the lights again, some people try to find a male-to-male extension cord. If you plug that in while the lights are powered, you've got live metal prongs sticking out the other end waiting to shock the poo poo out of something.
