What, in Home Depot, would a you have to do to anger someone THIS much...

[AKL_Megs]

I was just at Home Depot. I had two things to pick up. On my way to the registers, I stopped by patio furniture because a set caught my eye.

There amongst the patio furniture I was a man hiding in a corner yelling on his cell phone. Next to him, a cart full of looong 2x4's.

I couldn't help but listen... he was SCREAMING.

Apparently, he came up to the store with someone else (the person he was on the phone with). He must have done something awfully wrong to the man/woman and upset him/her, because in the pouring rain, the man/woman left this man, their car, and the 2x4's at the store and WALKED home!

I would love to know what transpired between lumber and patio furiture!

Enquiring minds want to know......

Probably remodeling their home. I know from experience. Several years ago when we were remodeling the whole house at one time (I know crazy) I got so mad and frustrated at my husband that yes I could have left him with all the stuff in the buggy and walked home. VERY VERY stressful time in our marriage and no we have not done any remodeling since.

It's that darn return policy.

That's probably it... for sure.

I left my ex-husband at Outback once. There's a multitude of things that he could have done. What was he screaming into the phone?

I'm sure it was that they drove 45 minutes to the closet HD and after they grabbed all the 2x4's the one who was being screamed at realized they left the list and measurements back home. I wouldn't at all know this from experience

"You are WALKING home? In THIS weather? You need a psychological evaluation. You need to see a doctor!"

Maybe that was amg35's boyfriend and she got carried away in the lumber aisle with a 2x4

Bopped my boyfriend on the head with a frozen pizza thread

Your responses are making me laugh! I can only imagine what that poor guy did when he closed his phone... did he go looking for him/her? Or, did he load up the wood himself and say forget you!

I'm going to hazard a guess and say it was newlyweds updating something in their home.

Newlyweds and home improvements are a lethal combination, I swear.

My husband and I, who have a wonderful 11-year relationship, almost divorced over where to put the sofa in the living room a week after our wedding. Had we needed to actually remodel anything at that point, we would not be together today.

I think feathering your nest brings up issues of control, money, who has good taste and who doesn't, It's a minefield.

He was an older gentleman... in his 40s or 50s.

But still...

I love your quote... so true, so true!

We could never agree on a sofa to purchase. So we had a hand me down monster sized 1970s sectional.

I think it took us 7 years before we finally saw a sofa that each of us could live with. (DH: Sofa must be recliner and movie theater friendly, Me: Sofa must not look like it is a recliner or appear movie theater friendly )

The coffee table only took us 2 years to purchase.

We certainly have our priorities messed up--our first home was bought in 1 day of house hunting...

Our second home that we are buying--was bought within 2-3 months of getting a realtor.

Clearly we spend more time considering the furniture to go in it and it costs a heck of a lot less.

This sounds like US!

We are still having the La-Z-Boy debate.

I say absolutely NOT upstairs. He can put 200 La-Z-Boys in the basement if he wants, but not upstairs.

He doesn't want a La-Z-Boy downstairs. He wants a La-Z-Boy upstairs. He wants a huge sectional downstairs. IT could have recliners, of course.

I don't like sectionals with recliners, even in the basement. And it will be a cold day in hell when he has a recliner upstairs.



Oh, and we too bought our house (#2 house we looked at) when we switched realtors from the one who showed us crap we didn't even want.

It's been six months, and we still can't decide on a black wooden mirror for our living room.

See, there's this old Kenny Chesney song, & I don't remember all the lyrics. However, apparently, in the song (and it's a country song...), Kenny is lamenting the death/loss of his wife.

One line of the song goes something like this -

"...and she wanted to paint our bedroom in blues and yellows, and I wouldn't let her... wouldn't have hurt nothin'..."

So, every time, DH & I are in disagreement over home decor and remodeling, I sing those lines...

Works every time!

(And, yeah, DH & I have had some doozies in Home Depot & Lowe's - I've learned to let him go his way & I go my way, & we meet at the cash registers.)

Perhaps this is why hubby and I don't decorate--we're avoiding arguments.

We are hiring a painter for the new house and he wants to hire a colorist---I'm thinking that is a good idea. Then we'll have a neutral party to make suggestions and to tell us if something sucks. It'll hurt less coming from a stranger.

If she is the one walking home in the rain, why is he the one yelling? Unless she took the keys....

Home remodeling during tax season = a deadly combination.

As to the argument, from what I've seen men can be terrible control freaks in Home Depot. Arrogant too.

Not my man...

But he's not really a DIY kind of guy.
