fcgamer | 5,020 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'm sure many of us worked retail here, and after awhile you get numb to all the weird crap that people buy. Then there's the obvious things like chocolate, wine and rubbers. Anyways, last night I was cleaning my apartment and then doing some other work around the place. Around midnight, realized I needed a hack saw and some zip ties. Definitely got some weird looks as I went to check out with this particular combination of goods, at about 12:30 in the morning.

Heh - the store wouldn't carry some of those things unless they thought it a good chance that a fair amount of people would buy them in whatever combination. I would likely look askance if someone only bought the zip ties and some duct tape. Edited August 22, 2023 by Tabonga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,927 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I worked at a lot of hardware stores when I was younger and we always carried the parts needed to make beer bongs. It was always funny when people would come in for those items, but always had an excuse for why they needed it. Almost like they thought we might care and not sell it to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Gibraltar, or do multiple other companies have production there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally doing something about people bitching about your endless posts about local beers and "complete" unlicensed games that don't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd you only knew the half of it... Can never go wrong with a hack saw and beer, for my safety it's gest to leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
