I vote for steel door squashing in both cases, but that's just me. LOL!

Wanda! How great to see/hear from you! (And I agree, actually. That's me, too.) I hope you're doing well. Do you have a substack?

It's great to see/hear from you again, too! I'm doing very well, thanks, and I hope you and your wife are as well.

I don't have a substack, but that could change at some point. In the meantime, I'm happy to be reading yours.

I love Easy-peezy-demon-squeezy.

For some folks, Michelle Obama’s “ when they go low we go higher” just will not work. Some folks need their interior tables overturned

"Asshats"! Why is that such a funny, FUNNY word?! It's so awesome. I have to remember to use it, like, constantly. At my job. Where I'll no doubt end up door-smooshed myself! But I don't care. It'll have been worth it. (And thank you for the kind word, Deborah. I appreciate it. Oh, and thanks for the extremely kind blurb. It was really sweet of you to take the time to do that.)

You're welcome! And definitely recommend sprinkling "asshat" around HD as appropriate, like hardware fairy dust. 🤣 I don't doubt opportunities will arise...

Oh, how I've missed John's writing ...

Yeah, I think that Home Depot frowns on using their doors to squash people, even racists. But I haven't checked their employee manual closely. It might be worth calling Human Resources (or HDHR, as I bet they like being called) to double-check.

Note to all customers out there with an anvil on your shoulders; you never can tell when you’re going to light someone’s short fuse. In other words, just be nice. That way you won’t find yourself schlepping around from store to store in Asheville or Hendersonville traffic on a Friday afternoon.
