It never fails either.

Every. Single. Time., I go into a Big Box Store like Lowes or Home Depot looking for something, if I can even find it at all, it’s usually in some weird place.

Take for example my latest debacle.

I head to the local Lowes looking for a length of thin gauge 2 inch Aluminum Angle.

8 foot if I can find it.

So I have a question for you.

If it was you and you went into one of these places looking for one of those, where would you think to start looking?

Home and Garden?

Electrical?

Bed and Bath?

How about maybe… Building Supplies?

That would make sense wouldn’t it?

An 8 foot long hunk of Aluminum Angle?

I would think that makes sense, if they even have any at all, right?

But No.

I wound up having to ask some guy that works there and even he had to look it up.

On aisle 4 he says.

Thank you very much.

I head to aisle 4 and what do I see?

Fasteners.

Nuts, screws, bolts and all manner of little drawers full of weird shit like furniture hardware and Rubber Stoppers.

But wait, down at the other end of the aisle they have this little section with their massively over priced cut offs of shit like regular Angle Iron, All Thread and little short chunks of various types of metal. Next to that they have this tall vertical rack that spins around and there it is.

Clear on the other side of this huge fucking store from the Building Materials.

Because that makes absolute sense, to someone.

That someone being a Can’t Understand Normal Thinking type of someone.

It just boggles my mind that someone thinks metal materials belong next to the Wood Screws instead of next to the Iron Pipe and other Building Materials.

It’s like the time I went in this same store and looked for a can of fucking WD-40 for 15 minutes.

Know where they stashed that shit?

I had to ask for that one too because I couldn’t find it in either the Paint or the Chemicals/Cleaners section.

In the Hand Tools section next to the Hammers and Screwdrivers.

Because that makes absolute sense too, to the same stupid fucking cunt that decided to put 8 foot long sections of Aluminum Angle next to the Wood Screws.

I always kinda marched to my own tune.

Sure, after having to move twenty times and having to integrate into twelve different schools while growing up I learned how to get along with people, if I wanted to.

But I have always been a one off and learned to accept that over five decades ago

Long before I ever heard of BFYTW, I was living it.

The beauty of getting older is that people tend not to fuck with you, if they are smart.

That whole Zero Fucks Given attitude follows you around like a giant neon sign.

I have zero desire to be digging around in a fucking purse.

Here’s it is, find me the keys so I can go put gas in your car.

As many stories that I have seen from people claiming that Rhodes is an Eff Bee Eye Stoolie, I would think this is either going to put that to rest or he is going to sing like a Canary and if he does that then I will go on the record now and say that he didn’t kill himself.
