I mean, I've seen a cheap setup, that was basically a mount for a circular saw that turned it into a table saw, so this is the same thing, just literally turned on it's head.

But in his defense, even if he had it right side up, I don't think he was going to be able to process those boards into anything useful with that saw.

Most snakes are more about the threat of biting, than actual biting. Snakes like the rattlesnake and cobra have taken that to the next step where they have an actual threat display to warn you off. The last thing they really want to do is bite you, they just want to scare you off with their rattle or their hood spread out.

Saying that, I'm sure they probably get all these guys well fed first, before the guy goes to do cleaning. Get them even less inclined to bite with a full belly.

I (still) work at Home Depot, so I've seen some poo poo. The guy in that picture got no less than three "we can't be liable if this breaks your car or someone else's" speeches, one from me, one in Spanish, and one from a manager. The shocking thing is that he came back and bought more wood (shorter boards, fortunately) the next day, so I have to assume that it worked! If the dude's that good with twine, he should try out for one of those rich person sailboat racing teams, he'd probably be a hell of a rigger.

But yeah, that's still probably not the worst thing I've seen leave our store. That award is probably shared between the guy that shoved 16 foot deck boards through the sunroof of his Corolla, and the couple of dudebros who put 16 footers over the cab of their truck, so they were sticking up like this:



I, uh, hope neither of those guys tried driving under an overpass.

I'm not sure if these are better or worse than the guy who wanted a full pallet of mulch in the back of a horribly rusted out old GMC. One of our garden associates agreed to do it after giving the whole no liability speech, and the leaf springs promptly broke through the bottom of the truck bed. They managed to somehow drive off like that, complete with their mulch, so...success?

Did you leave a couple of feet between the back of your car and the end of the 4x6s? You don't want them smashing into your tailgate. Other than that, it looks fine, better than most of the stuff our ~PRO CUSTOMERS~ come up with. One bungie cord to hold a ton of OSB that's hanging three feet out behind your truck? A 3200-pound pallet of concrete in the back of a slammed Chevy S-10? Throwing a bunch of corrugated metal on the roof of a truck you swiped from the radio station you work at? Go right ahead gentlemen, I'm just an idiot who works here.

For the record, I don't actually hate my job (just the paycheck), probably because I'm mostly dealing with contractors and other pro customers who mostly know what they're doing. I think I'd go crazy if I worked in garden or flooring and had to deal with Karens who understand little and are willing to learn nothing, though.

Nthing the "thats not that bad, probably even 'good'" opinion.

Some of us done sawed some poo poo

I was at a chip wagon last summer and there was a guy with an f150 and a bunch of plywood in the back. As I walked past it, I noticed it wasn't secured at all.

First thing I thought was "How the gently caress hasn't that fallen out yet"?
I kept an eye on it and shortly after, the guy pulls out and his loudish exhaust masks the sounds of half a dozen sheets (all) of the plywood falling out of the back of the truck.
There just happened to be a landscape contractor at the property next door and within 2 minutes, they'd pulled their truck over to the road and picked up the plywood.

We got ice cream after the fries and were probably there for another half hour before we left and plywood guy never came back looking for the poo poo he lost.

I did, front of those posts was over the jack, which is back far enough that there's no way I'd be able to twist the trailer and touch the car before it actually popped off the ball. There was enough clearance I could actually fully open the rear gate with 6" clearance to spare as it swept past the lumber.


zedprime posted:

It actually wasn't, the picture just makes the back end look longer. The beams were centered on the bed of the trailer, which is biased forward on the axle about 60 in front/40 behind. The tongue was definitely pressing down rather than lifting, yikes. :haw: It may look tipped up because a) the receiver on the Ascent is surprisingly high, and b) that trailer is, I think, surprisingly low. I've since switched out for an eight (8!) inch drop and the trailer is still 4.5" off level, nose up. Crazy.

You really needed another ratchet strap to force the bundle together somewhere in the middle and then attach the remaining few meters somewhere at the end of the trailer to secure the bundle in case of a crash/ very hard brake maneuver. Only direction that counts.

I remember seeing this with some accompanying text, which adds some important details (bolding mine):

quote:

This picture is real (not doctored in any way) and was taken by a transportation supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of an IHOP, he rushed out and bought a camera just to take this picture.

The car is still running, as can be seen by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep or passed out in the front passenger seat. The male driver was jogging up and down Rt. 925 in the background.

Witnesses said their physical state was other than normal. The driver finally returned, and was found by police crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting back to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him before he succeeded and the whole load landed on top of him. Police had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot, whose store manager made the customers sign a waiver. While you can imagine the weight of the plywood and 2x4s, what’s not readily apparent is in the back seat: ten 80-pound bags of concrete! Police estimated the entire load weighed at least 3000 pounds.

Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent, and the back shocks were driven up through the floorboard. The car, with Florida license plates, was headed for Annapolis, where the couple presumably planned to build a new house in which to smoke their crack.

Only thing I'd be worried about is you don't seem to have done much to prevent it sliding forward / backwards in case of hard acceleration or braking. I would be worried about the lower layer spreading out until the middle beam decides to slide out.
