Popular Post tybeegb Posted June 21, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 21, 2019 I lost my voice yesterday morning. Not sure why. All I could manage when I tried to talk in my normal voice was a croak and a hissing sound. I had to go to the doctor for something else, and make a stop at Home Depot to get copies of a key made. I was practicing talking on the way, and I found out I could talk in a falsetto voice where someone could understand what I was saying. Like the Bee Gees. Or the munchkins. So I get to Home Depot and the lady at the key making stand asked me what I needed. I handed her the key and held up two fingers. So far so good. Then I remembered WofTy needed some packing boxes but I had never seen them in Home Depot and didn't know where they were and didn't have time to walk around as I had to get to my doctor's appointment. She copied the key and asked me if I needed anything else. I tried to talk slowly in my normal voice but still a croak and a hiss. Then I tried the falsetto and told her "I can talk in a little girl's voice and I need to know where the packing boxes are." After she finished laughing, she continued to smile and told me where they were. I croaked and hissed what I hoped came out as a "Thank you" and walked away with my head down. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted June 21, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2019 I can never find any help at Home Depot. You must have gotten to the key person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted June 21, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 21, 2019 What did the doctor say? Did they have the boxes? Are you still impersonating a little girl? This story was way to short! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted June 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2019 You should have asked her if they had any helium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted June 21, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 21, 2019 Home Depot tip from Kzoo. If you want to find something (anything) at your local HD follow the following instruction (and if you don't have a smart phone go get one and join the 21st century - my last political comment of the day) 1 - Open your web browser on your phone as you stare blankly at the aisles filled with colorful orange stuff 2 - Browse for Home Depot 3 - When found, set location to your local store 4 - Use the HD web page Search function to find your item (HINT: if looking for a screw driver browse for 'screw driver', if looking for a 2x4 browse for '2x4') 5 - Check the item details for inventory quantity for the store you are standing in - Current stock quantity will be conveniently displayed 6 - Check the Item location, it will list aisle and bay 7 - find the aisle (they have them conveniently numbered) 8 - Once you are in the right aisle find the right bay (they have them conveniently numbered) 9 - THERE is your item BAM 87.3% of the time you can locate the item with your smart phone before you can locate a person to ask who will have to find another person to ask. BTW - This works at most big box stores. And if you want to watch technology in action update your browser display after you check out and watch the conveniently displayed stock quantity adjust based on your purchase. Ain't technology grand. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
