    Bonus: while the cursed, multi-directional-wheeled carts roll out from under them.

    That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car…

    I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They’d do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.

    We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.

    I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.

    People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.

    So embarrassing.

    They will rent you a fucking truck, it isn’t that expensive either.

        As in plasterboard sheets? I don’t see why not if hand loading, plenty of vans will fit a 2400x1200 sheet (my Transporter fitted a bunch of plywood with room to spare). Loading one with a forklift is harder due to no side access long enough to fit 2400mm but that’s a problem shared with tub back utes. If however your plasterboard pallet is side accessible a van with barn doors (like you’d buy if pallets were a priority) will allow you load it in fine.

      Based on the top two “photos”, they must have just got done typing “generate” a few times, so I guess I can see how the error might have occurred.

        Elsewhere in the thread someone shared one of the originals where text that’s mucked up in the above meme is clear as day. The crazy artifacting must come from some bizarre compression or automated touchup by an editing software. Maybe automated upscaling?
