The same Aggie that engineered Christmas light circuits engineered this damn plug for my outdoor lights timer. I need the second outlet for heat tape for a hose bib, but no—damn engineer decided it would be a good idea to do this stupid flat plug that blocks the second outlet. I do have some of those stupid mini-extensions that I can plug in, but they’re being utilized elsewhere with Christmas lights.

just 3 adapters needed to overcome that slab of rock...

Then it's gonna fall out of the outlet after you round the corner for the croquet wickets..

europe has this retarded 3-plug adapter where the length-wise orientation blocks the 2nd original wall plug.

so in the end you only gain a total of 1 plug.

Fucking Toyota pickup drivers... Why is it every other brand shuts off the bed lights when your vehicle is moving, but every dumbass Tundra / Tacoma driver is doing 70 down the road with their bed lights glaring on a foggy morning.

Still waiting…

And then you get the blue screen error once every 3 or so updates and the only thing IT can say is "oh take it off the dock. then reboot"

(Adds another 10 minutes)

Went through this recently. Their estimates are insane.

Anderson wanted like $40k. Window World did that shit for 6.

My neighbor got a quote from Anderson for $85K to replace their windows. We have the same house / layout and replaced ours with shitty Simonton windows for $21K.

$40K, $85K... The hell?!  Anderson quoted us $140K for our windows.  Definitely a shakedown, and did the whole pressure sales pitch: "This discount dies at midnight, and you're not eligible for another 12 months for a discount, so enjoy full price."  Safe to say I'll be using anyone but Renewal by Anderson.

F that, I'll board the dawned things up first, and NOT aggy style.

Was at a museum today trying to check out some serious paintings and half the time, the artworks were blocked by instagramnistas (who were 6.5/10 tops, to be generous) posing in front of them. 

And not like, heres a quick selfie of me in front of the Caravaggio, but more like, let me spend 5 minutes contorting and posing myself while my cuck bf snap off 30 perfect shots. 

They should shoot these people on-sight.

Sounds like you need to familiarize yourself with the benefits of a strategically placed fart.

I'm on the verge of blacking out and going into a blind rage.  The wife had put up a strand of 150 christmas lights. Same strand as last year.  Worked fine for two days. Suddenly the first 40 bulbs near the plug go out, as does a bunch of bulbs on the end of the strand. The middle lights work, except for a few here and there that aren't lit. As an ex-engineer, I'm trying to process how this is possible. Unable to figure it out, I ChatGPT it. Immediately, it tells me it's either a bulb in the first section, that is also causing the last section to go out because of the way it's wired in sections. Weird.  But okay. Fine. The solution is either to replace the fuses or find the one bulb in the section that's causing the problem.

I check the fuses on a multimeter and they are fine. So it has to be a bulb. But why is it that some bulbs can be out in one section, but not other sections. Makes no sense whatsoever. So.. despite being annoyed at the nonsense, I decide I'm going to test each bulb in the first section. I spend a half hour trying to find a compatible bulb because of course every strand of lights is a snowflake, with it's own bulb holder shape. I finally find compatible bulbs and start pulling out bulbs to test. On my second bulb, I try to pull and of course the light part of the bulb comes off and the plastic piece won't come out. After five minutes of trying to pry it out, I finally try to insert the new bulb. Of course, it won't go in. The tolerances of the plastic is so bad, some bulbs fit and some don't.

I end my adventure by saying fuck it and grab a scotch. The wife brings out two other strands.  We plug one in and the first half is off.  We plug in the second strand and the second half is the part that isn't lit. WTF? That's impossible.

Goddammit, these lights are viloating the laws of physics and I've fucking had it. Fuck China.

This same thing happened to me. Lights are less than two years old. I said fuck it and bought more on Amazon.

Motherfuckers who drive along the freeway shoulder during gridlock traffic. 

I support laying out puncture strips and destroying all their tires on the 1/1000 chance it affects someone with a legitimate emergency like a hospital delivery.
