    Ace Hardware is where you find frustrated tenants who decided it would just be easier to fix the sink themselves rather than deal with the landlord

      I had sparks flying out of my fixtures in one room from old water damage. After 2 days I just replaced them myself with $3 gfi switches and plugs and put an Arc fault breaker in.

      When I moved out I took the outlets and breaker with me. I didn’t need them, but fuck those guys.

        I installed a ceiling fan in my apartment when I first moved in, and you bet your ass I’m uninstalling it and taking it with me when I move out. It’s a nice ceiling fan.

    Didn’t the owner or CEO of lowes say some really homophobic shit a few years ago? I feel like they got the demos swapped. On the other hand, I like Lowes Lesbian as a term a lot more than butch.

    I can’t believe we’ve reached the point in our society where we care about the sexuality or gender of people in Home Improvement stores. 🤦

      You missed such an obvious joke I don’t know if you’re trolling or need to get seen about being in the spectrum.

      Have you ever been in a home depot? The atmosphere is full of unresolved emotions, general frustration, and hatred disguised as jokes at your “friend’s” expense. Of course it’s the dad’s home improvement store. And it fucking sucks

        Hmm let’s flip this around and make it about Lowes and lesbians, and see how many people get pissed off:

        Have you ever been in a Lowe’s? The atmosphere is full of leftover teen angst, the misplaced desire to prove oneself, and anger disguised as jokes at the straights expense. Of course it’s the lesbians home improvement store. And it fucking sucks

        It’s fun throwing stereotypes around, isn’t it!

          Okay but are you legitimately made uncomfortable by the people around you at lowes or are you just trying to invert what I said because you don’t like it? I’m in these stores all the time due to my profession, and my experience is that there’s a big difference in which people frequent which store, and the attitudes they bring with them.
