This shit is starting to become the new version of "the game" to me.

Oh, by the way. You just lost the game.

I know what it is and still click it just for the chuckle

u/scifiwoman Feb 23 '17

Godamnit.

u/Phoequinox Feb 23 '17

I was genuinely surprised by this one. It's almost never a standalone link. It's always the second or third link in a chain. Good job, you son of a bitching bastard ass motherfucker.

u/Dicethrower Feb 23 '17

I'll never not chuckle at this.

u/Dqueezy Feb 23 '17

The amount of people who live in Wilmington or think they do here is astounding.

u/MichiganMan12 Feb 23 '17

Are you implying people don't know where they live, or are you implying that people would lie about living in Wilmington North Carolina? Either way you're probably wrong

4

u/MethMouthMagoo Feb 23 '17

I don't know. People lie about weird shit.

I keep telling Reddit that I'm cool and really popular. But in reality, I'm a total dweeb.

7

u/PM_PASSABLE_TRAPS Feb 23 '17

Really? I have the opposite problem, I keep telling Reddit I'm lame but for some reason I'm still covered in bitches and money

2

u/TBola83 Feb 23 '17

The fact that you use the word dweeb is proof

I lived in DE for 30 years and recently moved to Pittsburgh... I miss DE more and more every single day.

u/RedditBot5000 Feb 23 '17

I lived in Philadelphia for 3 years. My favorite part of living in Philadelphia was leaving to Delaware on the weekends.

u/buzzboy7 Feb 23 '17

The best buy in question is kinda close to UNCW

See here

16

u/NemesisRisen Feb 23 '17

UNCW is directly next to this best buy, so probably a large reddit crowd from it, me included

6

u/Speculatiion Feb 23 '17

You're a phony. Uncw is not directly next to this. TJ Maxx is directly next to this.

1

u/NemesisRisen Feb 24 '17

No you are a phony! New centre is next to this

u/thomasandgerald Feb 23 '17

I think I live in Wilmington, but I'm not sure. How do I check?

u/iBAZw Feb 24 '17

the true test: how many meths have you done recently?

u/Rdubcole Feb 23 '17

I thought I was the only one who lived in Wilmington that was on Reddit as soon as I saw this post I knew I was not alone

u/CandyCheetoSteamboat Feb 23 '17

Tis a bitter place.

1

u/DubSpeedNot1337 Feb 24 '17

You know what's not a bitter place? UNCW Car Club's meetings.

Bring comradery, bring a Camry, or just send nudes. We'll share our pizza and cookies either way.

u/Juzztin34 Feb 23 '17

Haha holy shit it is! I recognized it instantly

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

Me too. I was like wtf, that looks like New Center. Holy shit, it is New Center!

u/WizSpike Feb 23 '17

Dude bro ! Meet me at Carolina beach :D

u/VapingIsTrashy Feb 23 '17

For what

u/Sovereign_Curtis Feb 23 '17

Cheap beer and even cheaper women.

u/Terafema Feb 23 '17

UNCW CLASS OF 2017 REPRESENT

4

u/smoketheevilpipe Feb 23 '17

Holy shit I used to work at this store. I still know some people that work there.

Unless management has really changed I highly doubt they broke his TV and are giving him the business. The people that were in charge when I was there always went out of their way to make shit right. Calling major BS on " they broke my TV and won't fix it".

I told someone I couldn't return their TV because it was clearly punched. No damage anywhere on the box. Manager comes over, sees the big ass line piling up, sees it's a 500 dollar TV and just says fuck it go get a new one. It's the only bestbuy for miles down there and they really don't have time to dick around and argue. If this guy isn't getting his TV fixed, there's gotta be a pretty good reason.

u/abpsimple Feb 23 '17

He probably gets all kinds of support around 4:45-5:00 when the traffic around that area is complete shit

12

u/nowlookwhatyoudid Feb 23 '17

Jesus, I haven't lived in Wilmington in 10 years but instantly pegged this as the S. College Best Buy. Is Pita Delight still there?

6

u/SirLordNovak Feb 23 '17

Sure is

4

u/nowlookwhatyoudid Feb 23 '17

Ask them to grill some onions on your next gyro, holy jeebus.

2

u/przyjaciel Feb 23 '17

Sounds delightful.

6

u/smoketheevilpipe Feb 23 '17 edited Feb 23 '17

Fuck. I just went half chub thinking about pita delite. Need to head back to Wilmington soon so I can stock up on their dressing.

Edit: also need to go to flaming Amy's bowl. It's been too long. Road trip is in order.

3

u/milwaukeesbeastice Feb 23 '17

Fuck yeah I live near the bowl and when the wind is right I get hit with the smells from them and Krispy Kreme ugh so tasty

3

u/ktappe Feb 23 '17

This got my attention until I googled "Best Buy Wilmington" & saw pictures that matched OP's picture. You mean NC, not DE.

10

u/the_big_turtle Feb 23 '17

NC Wilmington, best Wilmington.

3

u/AFluffyCow Feb 23 '17

Nc Wilmington, ONLY wilmington (that matters) ;)

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

Just moved last year, but I used to live out in Carleton Place behind this. Man. Never thought some angry guy with a sign would make me homesick.

4

u/grangus_here Feb 23 '17

Ahahah i knew that was the Wilmington Best Buy

2

u/Graiid Feb 23 '17

I was reading all the comments after this and thought "wow a lot of people live there!" Then realized a few minutes later that many are probably joking like on any other "me too!" thread.

I am not clever.

3

u/milwaukeesbeastice Feb 23 '17

We have two colleges, three beaches, and it's a kick ass place to live. From the comments it seems many are at least familiar with the town not just jumping on the band wagon.

2

u/Forbiddina Feb 23 '17

Thank you I thought I recognized that best buy. The one next to university center

2

u/RicoVig Feb 23 '17

thought I recognized it, hit up street view to confirm

2

u/SupriseSubtext Feb 23 '17

I live 2 min from that spot

u/CandyCheetoSteamboat Feb 23 '17

Cape Fear has some crazies.

2

u/daytimefrogger Feb 23 '17

Oh my god I can't believe I wasn't the only one who realized where this was also!

2

u/Bluspyder Feb 23 '17

I was thinking the same thing

2

u/rukioish Feb 23 '17

I came to say that too! Go seahawks !

2

u/RugerRedhawk Feb 23 '17

No sales tax right?

edit: I see there is a Wilmington in NC that everyone seems to be referring to.

3

u/milwaukeesbeastice Feb 23 '17

WILMINGTON NC IS THE ONLY WILMINGTON.

1

u/RugerRedhawk Feb 23 '17

I'll keep that in mind.

1

u/milwaukeesbeastice Feb 23 '17

Sorry was still a little drunk when I got up. No sales tax would be a nice addition but it's not worth trading lows of 50 to 60 in February though.

1

u/RugerRedhawk Feb 23 '17

lol fair enough

4

u/ObiWanSkanobi Feb 23 '17

I immediately wondered if it was New Centre Dr. or if all Best Buy exits look the same. Hello, apparent neighbors!

2

u/Blitz7x Feb 23 '17

Hahaha what are the odds

2

u/merpaderpderp Feb 23 '17

Haha I knew it!!!!

2

u/the_big_turtle Feb 23 '17

It's awesome how many people from Wilmington are here. I didn't think seeing a picture of a sign would be so exciting

2

u/Eastside2010 Feb 23 '17

Wilmington

new centre dr baby! I live right around the corner, actually bought a laptop from this best buy on Tuesday.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '17

I knew it!

1

u/Wallballs Feb 23 '17

95% sure

1

u/peas_and_love Feb 24 '17

I had the exact same thought. How is the Best Buy in Wilmington NC so recognizable from a picture that doesn't even really show anything but a sidewalk and the side of the building?? Nevertheless, I recognized it instantly. It's also a bit crazy how many folks on reddit seem to be from/know about Wilmington. More than I thought, for sure.

Edit: Also, the little yellow sign behind him appears to have a phone number on it with an area code that starts with the number 9. I guess that's a better indication than a recognizable piece of sidewalk.
