Once again, I'm on the Home Depot site answering questions...

for items that I have never purchased.

For example...

Question: How much water does this toilet use per flush?

My answer: Beautiful!

Question: How does this generator compare to model XF458Z? They seem to have the same specs, yet this model is much more expensive. Why?

My answer: Yes they fit perfectly!

A lot of people won't share our sense of humor, though, I'd guess

My post was prompted by the fact that I am on their site looking at an item, and someone asked a detail question about the specs.

Someone answered "Beautiful".

Gotta admit, it DOES seem like something you'd do

What amuses me is when I see questions answered along these lines with "Well, I'm not really sure how XYZ varies from XYY, but maybe someone else will be able to help!"

I'm like, either you're just f***ing with people, or you're a complete f***ing moron for bothering to answer questions in this fashion ... I'm never quite sure which it is though. Cause people really ARE that stupid and vain, so you can't rule that out.

they want me to answer a question. How the hell do I know? I haven't used the thing. Now I'm obligated to make up stuff. "Sure, you can use this electric drill with special attachment to polish your work shoes."

It seems a time clock I bought brings the crazy out.

Q: Does this time clock use red ink?

A: Only if you purchase a red ink model

Q: Are employees able to open and change the time on this?

A: If you are worried about that, change employees.



I know it's juvenile but I live a life of work or boredom.

The reason I joined the Team was that I needed some substance for my future obituary. I wanted more then just "He enjoyed spending time with his family." as so many obits just say.
