YYYESSS!!!!!!!

I've experienced this before.

I went into Home Depot last week to look for some door handles and stuff to make a rail out of. I spend like 10 minutes looking around and I can't find any door-related things so I go up to this one guy and just ask where they keep the doorknobs and stuff and he looks at me all weird and asks what I need it for. I tell him it's for fingerboarding and he gives me this horrible look and asks me for tree fiddy. At this point I realise the Home Depot employee is actually a 500ft tall dinosaur from the Paleolithic era.

(if you're lost:http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tree-fiddy)

and it was about that time.. I high 5ed you for that reference

I brought my door handle rail I made forever ago off ebay, way cheaper than in a store.

We have a Claus Ohlsen in Newcastle and it is the freaking tits!!! Like, it's no IKEA but it's close.

The people at my local hardware store are total dicks Usually I'll tell them what it's for and somewhat explain fingerboarding, and everytime I get an, "Ummmmmm, well thats definitely new" or "Aren't you a little old? Do you actually skate with your feet?" or the worse one was when I was trying to find bondo for a mold and when I explained the concept of fingerboarding one of the employees, and he called like four of his buddies and I had to explain it to them too. They ended up just saying it was a total waste of time and that I should play a sport or something.
So now I just say that I'm making models for school.
