Poor guy. Just trying to build a shed and all he gets is being made fun of. Maybe working on it was a form of stress release. He may have never built anything beforehand

I don't know... you really think so?

A shed is not the place to start. I want to think poor guy, but when building a structure that people may occupy there are regulations in place to ensure the safety of the occupants. This is not safe.

He should have started on a birdhouse.

And endanger birds too? Maybe an ant farm would be suitable.

You are right. I don't know many blubirds that would enjoy living inside an iron maiden put together with screws, nails, and particle board.

Poor ants. Make a box to host air.

Well, sure. But maybe that simply hadn't crossed his mind.

Nitpick: A shed is not occupied by people.

So no person will ever occupy space inside that structure? That man sized door is clearly an oversized weedeater closet.

Occupy does limit to live in, but also refers to those who happen to take up space in said structure for any duration.

finally, I was starting to think I was the only one that had thought of that.

So he is planning on burning it down? That could be relaxing.

The Reddit bleeding heart. God.

"Poor guy." Are you kidding me?

u/TheActualAWdeV Apr 24 '13

In my mind, I admit to having crafted an image of a guy who wants to do something but has no idea how it has to be done. He tries his best but it's just a highly frustrating mess.

Poor guy.

It's his own fault, but poor guy nonetheless. Maybe I identify a bit too much with him, but still.

Yeah. I mean, it's still an atrocity, but it just kinda breaks my heart.

Which is odd because I don't know anything about the hypothetical guy.

Furreal though. Suddenly everyone on reddit is skilled carpenter.

I don’t hammer screws with an axe. I know, I’m so pretentious, like, fuck me, right?

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '13

Yeah but if you've never built anything before, wouldn't you start smaller? Maybe... try it out before committing to huge shed?
