Today on Explainations For Signs
whitefoxkei
I laughed way too hard at this comment
revooms
Thanks for the source!
Sunflier
"Maybe you can put up a sign." GOLDEN!
scoutMoonDiver
Silly you! People don’t read signs!

Strangers With Candy. Now that's a deep cut. Well done.
TheFastpaws
I mean they paid for it.
IDownvoteKhaby
Yeah but did they clean up after themselves or did they leave a mess for the employees to deal with?
navagon
This is how we get weird warning signs.
MandalorianHybrid1
This is why there are weird-ass signs up in random places. I promise there is now a sign there that says "no building in home depot".
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
My Home Depot has a standing 'no building things inside' policy, but it's actually cause The Old Guys got bored and started building all the plumbing nightmares customers brought in to ask how to fix. Other customers started thinking it was examples of the right way to DIY and complained when it didn't work.
Whitebeardthepirate
yep, and then dipshits 1 and 2 above looked at that and then went online "No one has a sense of humor anymore!!!"
BeesechurgerProductions
I mean they literally recommended a sign so

Aintlurkingnomo
Wow...just wow...the fact that people are seriously dumb enough to do that, for the subway company having to put that on the damn paper as a liability...is just....wow.

Stuff like this explains why you signs prohibiting working on cars in the parking lots of auto parts stores.
thecontractor
All three of the big chain auto parts stores in my town will loan you tools to work on your car in their parking lot.
onlyhalfghost
I've borrowed a wrench from one to fix my bicycle. Auto parts stores are usually chill with people doing quick fixes
BossVarriack
Yeah, same. The ones who typically have signs saying not to usually just don't have much parking and have a high volume of customers. At least that's how it always looks on the like two occasions I saw said signs
mrB3ND3R
Sooo... social media wannabes are still filming themselves mocking minimum wage employees? For how fast internet trends are born & die I really thought they would've moved on to a new form being a cunt by now.
Frostycopper
Did they mock them? Seems like they posted a video of when they were asked about what happened by an employee. Didn't feel mocking.
Marc1307
Thats not mocking for fucks sake ...
BossVarriack
Where was the mockery? I just saw a bunch of bemused staff, two kids having fun, and a supervisor type lady who appeared to only care about them walking around inside the house
rainbowsigns
Jokes on you, no one works at the Home Depot. Do whatever you want
LokisSenseOfMischief
As someone who used to work for homedepot, as long as they paid for the tools and materials and weren't impeding other customers, I would not have cared.
IDownvoteKhaby
Don't fuck with someone's job.
GD100
I hate these YouTube wankers who bother and harass low paid retail workers who almost certainly don’t want to be there. Deliberately being a cunt isn’t entertainment. It’s being a cunt.
JackalopeElope
I guess that's one way not to go back to the store.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Meh, Lowes is next door
VibratingNipples
I bet they left a saw dust mess..... for views
TetraNordeh
Lumber departments usually have brooms near the saws that the employees use.
Seradhe
When they lift the house, the aisle looked pretty clean. Can't say if that's the same spot for sure, but the whole build looked very clean
writerbuddy
The question isn't, "Why is no one trying to stop us?" it's, "Why do you think you can do that there, you entitled little vanilla bitch?"
JohnThatcher
They already answered that. "Nobody said we couldn't"
donpat
you spelled "because we're entitled manbaby assholes who weren't raised right" incorrectly...
Sokonomi

Home Depot: How Doers Get More Done.
PanNonOpticon
I don't think anybody would have said anything if I did that at the local hardware store. Just handed me the bill after I was done. Yea, I've been there a lot.
BossVarriack
Hell, as an employee, I would just bring over a broom and tell them to sweep up the mess when they were done and go back to doing my work. Overall, watching them build the thing would be entertaining for the day and my job is described as "help customers" not "stop customers"
nomorehate
I worked lumber in home depot. I'd honestly let them do it just to break up the horrible monotony. At least they cut the lumber themselves
maxstout808
Same, and same
nomorehate
You ever have to be flag boy? I seriously spent whole days standing in front of an empty aisle while someone worked the reach truck. Mind numbing. Then you had the people who just went right by you into to closed aisle. Hated that job.
Churchofthesubgenius
I remember the ole days where you weren’t required to have a flag boy and close off the entire aisle. They some idiot twins collapsed some stacks of lumber on themselves by playing full scale Jenga and that’s when all new safety measures popped up (circa 2001). We used to stock the insulation aisle by having someone climb the back of the racks and hit push off the bundles we need to stock. THFUMPT THFUMPT THFUMPT whole aisle done in an hour
GCRust
"Why is no one trying to stop us?" I don't know random Internet attention seeker. Why do you keep smash cutting and not filming continuously? My guess is they WERE stopped, but explained what they were doing and management signed off on it.
whitefoxkei
It's a 60 second video, and about half of it was them building. It takes way longer than 30 seconds to build pretty much anything of that size. Call me crazy, but I think that might be a logical reason for the cuts.
JohnThatcher
Biggest tell is that Home Depot doesn't keep their power tools (and especially the batteries) out where you can just grab them.
SuxBoyTony
Are people this starved for attention? This is embarrassing..
apoliticalpanda
They do it for the money. YouTube and tik tok pay for views. Creators don't care how embarrassing or dumb they are as long as they get a paycheck
SuxBoyTony
I could make a nice bundle of money sucking dick but I'd still be too embarrassed to. I guess I don't understand.
LurkButDontTurch
You're probably not as bad at it as you think
SuxBoyTony

LurkButDontTurch
Checks out.

Reminds me of an episode of how I met your mother. No boogie boarding. Or no motorcycles on casino floor.
ElRigs83
As someone who has worked retail for 25 years we aren't paid enough to care
AnythingMuchShorter
I've worked for Lowe's and yeah, at most we might ask what you're doing. We aren't supposed to even try to stop you. Technically calling the cops could be done but they don't care unless someone is dead or imminently being murdered, they likely wouldn't even come about a theft or vandalism.
Snooj
Ever try to sneak snacks into a movie theater? You can do it by carrying them in. No one cares enough to say anything.
IWasGoingToMakeEspresso
25 years!?!
AntennaDibb
if you see that employee about 10 seconds in, you can tell that he probably watched the entire thing unfold and didn't lift a finger. and why the hell would he with the slave wages that companies like home depot pay to their workers?
Achromos
Honestly if I was in this situation I'd be entertained, lol.
wtfylat
No, but they'll all get sacked
JohnThatcher
No. They'll get an "all hands meeting to discuss recent events"
wtfylat
If it wasn't an organised stunt the store management will find themselves being assigned new posts a long, long way from home over the next few months and new management will be sent in to change the 'culture' of the store. It might not be a mass sacking but do you really think a team meeting is where it ends?
AndroidSoul
Depends. Some people will take any opportunity to exert authority even if it's just being the minimum wage retail police
tinybartender
the assistant store manager where I work is that guy
NineByNine
something about a badge, a uniform, and a radio just turns people into absolute fuckheads.
mrmartini
I worked with an absolute fecken banana peel of a dude who drives an old cop car, collects guns, and carries the work walkie talkie around like a police radio thingy. He's a prep-cook at a nursing home. He tells me his 2nd job is a security guard where he's shot many, many very tough guys. He probably weighs 130lbs sopping wet. His biggest fear is talking to women.
NineByNine
"absolute banana peel of a dude" aaaand that's now going in my lexicon of awesome insults. Fantastic work.
mrmartini
I'm glad someone finally appreciates that one. I've calling people banana peels and lollipops for awhile just to see what would happen. Lol
medimr
Social media is a disease.
DominoAmorous
Imagine how much extra material and trash they left behind after building that, which was on the customer service to clean up, as well as all the space they occupied while building, preventing actual customers from shopping.
Foxsayy
Yeah, looks like they might have blocked an entire sheet of plywood if they absolutely refused to move.
9z2nf02h
Art is wonderful.
wherearemytesticles
It's a harmless prank tho...
Echtrae
The problem with a prank like this is showing it to all the morons on the internet to copy
PutItInNeutral
The biggest harm of social media is disinformation and propaganda. This is just harmless shenanigans. (As long as all materials and tools were paid for and messes were cleaned up by these goofballs.)
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
"iT's jUSt a pRAnK bRo!"
veesee
Imgur is rhe only social media I have left. If I ever get a weight loss, Spanx, or other body image related app ill delete it too. You are correct social media is mostly a disease.
Foxsayy
They built a tiny house in home depot. Who exactly are they hurting?
OlksPolks
- he said on social media...
FabulouslyTiti
alaest0r
Certainly but I'd still get a kick out of it if i worked there. It's pretty mild, if not on the positive side, of the disease spectrum
laughoutloud74
Yeah, but some asshole manager climb up some asses or even fired people who did stop them or call management. Don't get me wrong twas funny.
Fyreworx
They don't get paid enough to stop you. just pay for it before you leave.
backrideup9
There's also only like 10 employees in the whole store.
HumansArePrettyNeat
As long as they sweep up the sawdust and pick up the nails Idgaf.
ulubai
"they don't get paid enough to deal with this shit" is exactly the first thing I said in my head.
mike13815
They paid for it before they built the structure.
UserMCP
This. This is why we have managers. "Hey boss, there's some shenanigans on Aisle 15, might wanna take a look at it."
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
Management isn’t doing shit either.
BishlamekGurpgork
Ten bucks says the only person who tried to stop them is the manager, who, now that it was a done deed, was way past the point where they could stop anything.
CakeShapedPie
This is not aisle 15 shenanigans. That involves rope and chains and tie downs
UserMCP
(In my store, Aisle 15-19 are lumber, 14 is fasteners.)
looker42
And when nobody stops them it means the manager doesn't get paid enough either.
TheGodEmperorOfChaos
Technically you shouldn't also eat something before you pay for it, but Americans are weird like that.
avidatheist
Doubting anyone told the manager.
BossVarriack
I mean... In my experience, managers make only a couple bucks (around 5) more than there lower level employees and the supervisors make maybe a dollar more. Now the store manager themselves makes a salary typically but getting them to leave their office or be at the store in general instead of being out doing whatever like running another store is typically more of a hassle than it's worth.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
The manager’s not even there. He’s got like 5 other warehouses to be at and he’s always in transit between them.
sleestacks
Woulda really been funny if they cut off a finger because then they would’ve gotten more facetock points.

Would have been funny if they didn’t make a mess on the way out like jackasses.

nomorehate
You sir, are an asshole. I worked there and you have no idea how much lumber I had to pick up off the floor because customers weren't happy with it and just threw the ones that weren't perfect in the middle of the aisle. As well, do you have any clue how many orders come in per day? The lumber dpt I worked in had 3 people max, between customers and orders it's pretty hard not to make a mess. You're cutting lumber, unloading trucks, loading orders, all while helping other dpts. Give them a break.
Marc1307
Yeah...what mess ??? They bumped into a couple of things ... nothing to tragic...
Noodlesocks
I've seen worse messes left by normal customers.
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
Seriously, wtf is up all your asses? No one is hurt, they paid for it, they're just fucking around, no one cares. Y'all are fuckin boring people.
TheMaXX37
VodkaReindeer
What mess?
SerialChickenLover
I guess knocking into a display of suckers without any falling was a mess
ILikeFood2000
I’m guessing all the broken hearts watching them leave
FormerSkiBum
Everybody just wants a reason to dislike other folks enjoying themselves at the expense of nobody
Strategicgnomer
Damage from hundreds of pounds of wood hitting things I'm guessing?
SlightlyAnnoyedDwarf
Have... have you never picked up a piece of plywood?
Strategicgnomer
2-3 sheets of 3/4"plywood, at least 120lbs, probably closer to 200. Yes, I work with plywood, have you ever picked one up?
TetraNordeh
Soooo, the same as a man's shoulder brushing the suckers and other displays? It's not like they ran into anything at full speed or force. None of the suckers even fell out of the stand or broke.
SlightlyAnnoyedDwarf
I sure have. I very much doubt that little bitty doghouse is 120 pounds.
