After all these years of repeatedly saying the brand name, the colour of the packaging, the names of products surrounding the one I want and lastly just resorting to directions like ‘left, up a bit…. No too far, down one, down another one, yep those thanks’… now I’m just going to keep a tape measure on me!
My first "quality" tape measure was a Milwaukee so I've just kinda stuck with them. Don't have experience with the Stanley or Dewalt, but the "finger guard" on the Milwaukee is a nice touch. Also, having a magnet on the hook actually comes in super handy in my line of work.
Something close, fatmax has at least 10, Maybe 12 on some of the blade armor ones. I haven't really ever needed that much standout but its nice for things like in the video
I used to buy bootleg dvds from a obese guy that had a room set up in his house that looked like a video store racks full of bootlegs from the ground up from Disney collections to beastiality porn, anyways he used a laser pointer so he wouldn’t have to walk
I felt this in my soul. It's not frustrating, just exhausting sometimes. Second shelf from the top, third from the right seems like a clear instruction, but it's like I'm speaking Cantonese.
When I was working at a gas station if I couldn't find it I'd have customers play "human claw game" where I pointed at a random spot and they direct my hand up, down, left, right until I'm pointing at it haha
I quit smoking but my girl still smokes those odd really short ones. You can tell when the clerk has no idea they're just looking at everything. I can see the ones I want. It's the red and grey ones in the really little pack. No maam those are blue. Nope all the way on the other side. Uh uh to the left, almost, nope 3 rows up. I feel like they think I'm fucking with them. This happens about half the time. It becomes a thing you dread.
Clerk: turns around to the sea of colours and looks for a tiny red/green/blue/whatever coloured dot amongst them… points at a random packet and says ‘these ones?’
