"See you soon" feels like a curse coming from the guy at Lowe's

  He knows. For instance, all plumbing projects require at minimum three trips to the hardware store:

  The first trip for what you thought you needed. The second trip for what you actually needed. And the third trip to buy another one of whatever else it was that broke as soon as you touched it.

    I get no joy from DIY projects for that reason. And you forgot that halfway through it turns out you need to buy a special tool.

      After a few years of homeownership you usually have everything for stuff around the house in the tool room.

      I’m just noticing that having a tool room sounds unusual, seeing it written down.

  Delivered with a chipper tone, a perfect smile, and a thousand yard stare.

      My informational source comes from 11 years of working in food service. Thankfully far behind me.

  Hearing “see you soon” from someone you know and see often isn’t nesrly as creepy as just getting a letter in the mail with no return address or stamps with a message comprised of magazine cut-outs saying the ssme thing.

  I once had to work super late for dumb reasons. I called the security company and told them I’d be working till ten, so don’t freak out that the alarm system doesn’t get armed. Lady said “Done. Thanks and have a good night!” in a really chipper tone.

  Motherfucker I just told you I’m working till 10pm on a Sunday. I’m not gonna have a good night.

  Fucking my mechanic said that. We both paused then he said, “not that soon.” Yeah I don’t like getting jinxed.

    Sure, watching the self-checkout to make sure no one is stealing anything.

      Or blocking off the aisle you need to go down for unclear purposes.
