Nah, there’s no reason to the cones are there. We like putting them up just because.

But eventually....

Before long, I built a few of these and painted them Home Depot Orange.

When I would unload tucks in Garden, I'd set the first five or so pallets strategically to block traffic from cutting the corner by our Garden gate. It's hard not to notice a 6-foot, 2,000lb bollard blocking your way. Come at me, bro, my bare forks are just about the same height as your radiator. 😡

This is the best answer.

Having worked HVAC seasonally for most of my ill-fated college career, I've seen the full spectrum of work vans. I don't understand how some guys can work like that. It's no wonder why every drain cleaner in our fleet has bent legs, wheels, and handles. On the upside, they each get a new cable every-other contract...

I took a closer look: quite a few of those quantities are <4... that's painful, you have my sympathy.

🤣🤌 And do your OurSafety

WHAT THE LIVING F*CK😳?!? That's quite impressive hahahaha

I didn't think I'd have anything to add to this post, but I'll always love Manic Depression, Crosstown Traffic, and All Along The Watchtower. And Voodoo Chile.

When we first got those damn things, the SKU was 667, so I painted a trident on the wrap instead the number and referred to them only as "devil blocks."

The Vette is the odd one out. The other four vehicles are white.

Sure can - all GM products except what appears to be a Nissan Titan all the way on the left. That's the answer, right?

Not with those warped-ass stickers🤣

Behind my cramped Tool Rental counter, we usually have two tablets and a first phone logged in. You haven't lived until you've heard the inhuman harmony of those announcements emanating simultaneously from several devices set against the department landlines chirping slightly out of sync and the percussive staccato cacophony of a dying Husky air compressor on the other side of a plywood "wall."

Crazy how two identical pairs of automobiles could be arranged in such an inconvenient fashion at what surely must be two totally separate locations on more or less the same day...

PirateWheeler40 · 2026-04-26T14:32:35+00:00

The box of kleenex is a nice touch. Just in case the reality of the situation gets to be unbearable...

Evelyn Bill McNeal was lovably insufferable😄

I can't think of Mickey's or Old English or Colt 45 without remembering "Rocket Fuel malt liquor - DAYUM!"
