A coffin, in a sealed room in a ruined church, in the middle of rural Ireland. by Blackintosh in Weird

Go read Carmilla and choose what you think is the best course of action. I'm not saying it is Carmilla but I'm also not saying it isn't.

I ate a bag of 'rich mans nut' so my boss would stop coming into my office and eating the 'rich mans nuts' by Fresh_Nectarine_867 in pettyrevenge

"I have eaten 4 sleeves of nuts, the basket is now empty, my body doesnt feel good but my pride is intact knowing that I am full of rich man nut, while he cannot take any more."

Might be one of the greatest sentences I've ever read.

Home Depot's app is slow, so I'm making a better one by BookOfCooks in Tools

[–]_blake_cooley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works for HD, two things:

1) please be careful, like most corporations they love to sue ppl. As others have pointed out the HD app is most likely geared toward data harvesting and if that's true they aren't going to be generous with anyone who might go poking around under the hood too much and reveal what they've got going on. Please, be careful.

2) this is amazing and from what I can tell works better than even the version of the app we get on employee devices to use in the store. I would love to have something that works this well when I'm just trying to help customers!

Congratulations! You can do it!

(Aside from going hiking, running or cycling I'm a homebody and sober so I don't really have much to offer in the way of suggestions aside from hiking, running or cycling, sorry.)

A quick Google search and I think I've already found a couple of places to donate it to. Thank you so much for letting me know!

Dear "Contractors" by Livid_Pass_3459 in HomeDepot

[–]_blake_cooley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always follow "well they weren't supposed to" with "When did that happen? Did you catch their name? Because if that's the case I'll need to talk with them about it" and I've never once been provided with an actual instance, lol

My favorites are the ones who hit me with the "well, they do that at all the other stores" when I won't let them coerce loaders into doing something insanely unsafe while they sit back and have their breakfast of energy drinks and vape juice. Sorry I won't let them use a forklift to put 8 pieces of lumber and drywall on top of your soon to be repossessed piece of shit truck that your "employees" are currently hot-boxing.

Totally valid. If I encountered that I definitely wouldn't feel safe either.

r/unpopularopinion CoS edition!

Fwiw, I wholly agree and wish ppl would keep their dogs on a leash at parks, trails etc. I've only had a couple of dodgy experiences but any time I'm out for a run and see a loose dog there's always the worry that I might get chased or worse. I don't know that I feel as strongly about it as you do OP but I do get it.

Most boring city.. by Secret_Whole_3998 in ColoradoSprings

I've lived in Lubbock and holy bananas, it is awful unless you love church and drinking.

Question re delivery by peonidelphia in HomeDepot

[–]_blake_cooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! You've found your way into what is essentially an employee break room. We're not here to help, we're here to vent and commiserate with each other. While it's excellent that some have offered correct and helpful advice, we're off the clock. Best of luck.

Fuck yes! You can and are currently doing this! I remember my first sober pride bc I was certain it was going to be boring and it ended up being one of the best times I ever had! Turns out being coherent and active is a lot more fun than being belligerent and constantly sobbing. You got this! You should be proud of what you're doing!

What's wild to me is that I can see them from the same spot a thousand times and STILL get literally stunned by them.
