One at a Time
A Home Depot reports he had a customer throw a measuring tape at the back of his head when the customer was told he would have to wait as the employee was currently helping another customer.

Bathroom Mystery
One Home Depot employee wrote about a horrific scene in the store's bathroom. "In the stall a pool of blood and splatter all over the toilet paper holder. Mounds of completely soaked toilet paper and more splatter on the door of the stall. Then bloody footprints and huge splatters of blood that got smaller as the footprints faded." The employee thinks a shoplifter tried to cut open a package or cut off a tag and slashed themselves. Every DIYer should own these safety gear items.

Fence Jumper

The manager told the man to just come down from the fence, but he instead jumped, broke both his legs and an ambulance was called. Here are 10 modern fence ideas for your backyard.

Think Before Calling
Sometimes it's a good idea to think before you call someone. That was the case for one Home Depot customer who called Home Depot and threatened to call lawyers because their drawer liners didn't stick well, a Reddit user wrote. The Home Depot employee said the customer and her husband had spent hours trying to put the drawer liners in. The customer even threatened to call the CEO of Home Depot. Later on, the store got a voice mail asking them to disregard the previous voicemails. Turns out, the caller's husband forgot to peel the back of the drawer liners.
Find out why a drawer liner is a good idea for your junk drawer.
