Who gets drunk at two in the afternoon? Plus who gets drunk at two in the afternoon and suddenly decides that she needs some hardware?

I had a woman customer this afternoon who came in looking for a piece of pipe. She wanted either one-quarter inch or three-quarter inch, she couldn't remember which. She finally decided on one-quarter and about a half hour later, she was back, looking for one-half inch. Both her first two guesses proved wrong.

She added that she had to walk back and forth to the store because she didn't feel up to driving.

This points out the danger of mixing alcohol and hardware. Each year hundreds of people are injured or worse while attempting to repair something while they have a snoot full. Remember, friends don't let friends shop drunk, especially for plumbing items.


Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky

I may be wrong, but I've been told this is how plumbers work anyway, or at least some....

What a great Buddha story. I often wonder why those who want to tell others what to do and not do, take it so personal when they are told the same thing! ; (

Dennis never drinks vodka anymore, well not since the time he fell off the roof while installing the new gutters. (Dennis needed the vodka for the courage to get up on the roof) work creates so much problems, Dennis stopped working.

I am only allowed 1/3 bottle of wine with dinner - no more, no less.

I think drunk ladies shop for pipe because they are lonely and are looking to meet a nice sales associate.

I knew a drunk lady who shopped at Ace because she had a leaky koi pond. When dames are drunk they think they can re-plum a leaky pond.

Dude! women get liquored up because they want to approach you to talk about your pipes and stuff, but they're SHY, so take it as a compliment and stay professional.
