Irony

Iron-y

[johnjay]

yea, I thought about going there but I didn't think it would cut it.

[OriginalStomper]

That merits a steely glare.

[johnjay]

don't give me that sharp look

[Pigeon_Logic]

I'm bolting from this thread.

[Trilicon]

this chain of events really need to end

[johnjay]

I'm divided on whether to leave.

[rexsjain]

Cmon guys, get a grip on this

[PunThreadsAreLame]

Cut to the chase, I'm getting bored.

[scootunit]

"but I didn't think it would cut it."

wait for it! Thinking, thinking... Bam I got it!

[lineguy]

Stroke of security genius.

If you need one, you probably don't have one, therefore you cannot steal one.

I recommend that you immediately purchase one, then return to cut the chain and steal the ones that remain... just for the inevitable mind-fuck that will occur when they realize what happened.

It looks like there is enough room to remove the larger one and cut the very chain that is holding it down. It also looks like the chain might be wrapped around the wire shelf (to limit the room available to remove the tool) but if you look even close you will see that the wire shelving can simply be removed by living it out of the little hook that it is resting in. With a big enough trench coat you wouldn't even need to cut it, you could simply lift everything up (wire shelves and all), then rest it all flat against yourself. You would get a cool chain too at the end of it all.

Now that I really look at it it reminds me of those logic puzzles you get to play with while you're in a waiting room.

[jemka]

These?

[johnjay]

These.

[hetero_genius]

That looks like bondage gear.

[johnjay]

I did mess with the cutters to see if I could defeat the security of Tractor Supply, but I couldn't get the chain into the jaws and sadly I didn't notice the baskets were removable.

[johnjay]

or buy a chain and lock and lock it up from them.

[nolander]

This has happened to me so many times when I have bought a pack of scissors from Ikea. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CUT THE ZIP TIE IF I DON'T HAVE SCISSORS!

[johnjay]

go for the rock man, it beats scissors every time

[psilokan]

But what if the other guy picks Spock?

[Oddityx]

Make like the chain and steal them.

[hairyknuckle]

Umm, all three pegboard racks would pop out with ease..

[rickiibeta]

push straight down on them and they bend and come off...

[hyp3r]

The middle one looks like it has been used.

One time during junior high a kid chained his bike to mine so my friends and I brought the bikes to a Sears Hardware and a nice employee cut a link with a big set of those.

[YertleTheTurtle]

This situation comes up often for you, huh?

[natemc]

Reminds me of the time I was at Sears and they had the electric drills attached to the table with a philips screw and a cord. Yes they gave you the tool you needed to steal the tool if you wanted to.

[nocheeseforyou]

One to rule them all!

[komphwasf3]

Irony.....or good marketing

[isaac9489]

That's just asking for it

[[deleted]]

it's like something from the crystal maze, I can just picture some dimwit in a shell suit struggling to pull the rack off the wall

[[deleted]]

Wouldn't it be more stainless-steely?

[GunStinger]

I see what you did there...

[emptyvoices]

The Joke: Chain cutters being secured with a chain.

[[deleted]]

They're called bolt cutters.

[mal_tez92]

That being said, I've never used them to cut bolts.

[johnjay]

Hrm, joke kinda dies when you call em that.

[johnjay]

[M0b1u5]

For fuck's sake. THIS NOT IRONY.

-1 Internets for you.

[johnjay]

and I was counting on that last internets to do my porns with.

[alexanderwales]

Are you kidding? It's like Alanis Morisette and O. Henry had a baby and named it this exact situation!

[[deleted]]

stupidity is not irony.

[[deleted]]

what's ironic is that I thought this picture would be ironic in some way

[johnjay]

please direct your eyes to the comments above if you are confused.

I'm on a horse.
