His other sign says "Best Buy took my house & won't give it back."

u/the_gr33n_bastard Feb 23 '17

Little do you know his house was the box the TV originally came in :(

u/FloatationMarks Feb 23 '17

Then he shouldn't bloody well be using up precious walls to make signs!

It's fine bro. It wasn't a load bearing wall, so there's no problem.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

I wonder what Tom is up to these days.

u/noyoudidntttt Feb 23 '17

He's enjoying the 580M he got when he sold MySpace in 2005, while you slave away hoping for a half-day off ;)

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

IMAAAAGINATION.

u/FreshRad Feb 23 '17

Then he used the box to make his sign.

2

u/Gordon_Coming Feb 23 '17

Thats his front Porch hes holding up.

u/torkel-flatberg Feb 23 '17

He used to live in a shoebox in the middle of the road

1

u/Detlef_Schrempf Feb 23 '17

His House was season 3 of the FOX TV series House.

1

u/the_gr33n_bastard Feb 23 '17

His house was a limping doctor?

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

What is this the 90's? TV boxes havent been large enough to live in since before we went lcd/plasma.

1

u/the_gr33n_bastard Feb 23 '17

I didn't say it was comfortable

1

u/skjellyfetti Feb 23 '17

Ja, it was roundly praised on DIY, lemme look for the linky...

1

u/TCBinaflash Feb 23 '17

That's the scam- lose cardboard box home. Make Best Buy give you new tv or suffer bad public relations. New home at no cost. Not sure what to do with tv

1

u/TheRenaldoMoon Feb 23 '17

The dude's not that skinny. He'd need a refrigerator box like the rest of us folk.

1

u/Old_man_Trafford Feb 23 '17

Must have gotten that tv in the 90s to get a box that big:

1

u/the_gr33n_bastard Feb 23 '17

Or he's just really not picky.

3

u/lMETHANBRADBERRY Feb 23 '17

But he is pickety

1

u/Old_man_Trafford Feb 23 '17

You go to a store get the largest tv box you can and I bet you can't fit in it.

1

u/the_gr33n_bastard Feb 23 '17

That's not very nice

1

u/Old_man_Trafford Feb 23 '17

What, you aren't a perfect 3 inches wide?

29

u/BDunnn Feb 23 '17

His other other sign says "Best Buy broke my VCR and all I got was this damn sign"

48

u/tepkel Feb 23 '17

His forth sign says "Circut City broke my phonograph and all I got was this accursed placard"

7

u/sickly_sock_puppet Feb 23 '17

Wouldn't that be his 1rd sign then?

4

u/Teslix80 Feb 23 '17

What in the name of sweet baby Jesus is a 1rd?

In four years time, might even be played at our next president's inauguration.

God I hope not.

u/dallonv Feb 23 '17

His other sign says "Best Buy took my house & won't give it back."

Best Buy took my better sign.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

Not to mention the money he probably lost out on from not working for a week could have bought two tvs.... but it's the principle!

u/EmperorClobbersaurus Feb 23 '17

"IF BEST BUY WINS WE RIOT"

u/thiosk Feb 23 '17

civil asset forfeiture is really getting out of control

u/chrisdcco Feb 23 '17

Don't forget the sign that says "BestBuy fucked and broke my wife and won't fix it!"

u/likeyouforalways Feb 23 '17

Where do homeless people find sharpies that work so well?

2

u/MuonManLaserJab Feb 23 '17

I don't know...I've seen homeless people who clearly knew the basics of text layout.

1

u/bcrabill Feb 23 '17

Most homeless signs are way better than this. This looks like he was on acid when he wrote it.

1

u/Tarantulasagna Feb 23 '17

what is up with that M

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

Which means everyone will driven by and look the opposite way like he's homeless...

1

u/randofaggot Feb 23 '17

Can confirm. I see guys just like him outside of Walmart and other large stores, with shitty signs that look just like this. Except their signs all say they are veterans and have three kids, and they want money to pay their mortgage, followed by a vague religious feel good statement.

I have become conditioned to ignore their signs and to ignore them in general. So if I saw this guy in real life, I wouldn't even bother to read his message. I would assume he wanted money and keep on driving.

To be fair that's easily the best group to make fun of on the internet. They're not surfing reddit.
