Most embarrasing hardware store moment....

So I'm at Dale Hardware in Fremont, and the salesman asks me if he can help me find anything. I respond, and say, "Yes, I'm looking for black caulk."

I paused and said, "wait, that didn't sound good at all." The Clerk responded, "Sir, whatever you're into."

I practically fell backwards over a display I was so embarrassed... I'm sure the entire store is laughing about it......

true story btw

coulda been worse, you could have been looking for something real viscous and had to ask where you could find some "thick black caulk".

Yeah, I don't think it would have been any better asking for a black silicone caulk either .

LOL...almost as bad as last year when took my buddy to eat at my favorite Mexican joint.

The waitress asks "anything to drink?"
he goes "sure, do you guys have any negro modela"

I was quite happy that there were no brothers in the restaurant during that time. I almost melted in my chair…

i worked at Home Depot for over four years. the first week i worked there and didn't know anything, i was on the sales floor doing my job which was all the store's art work and displays etc... This massive "butch" woman walks up to me and says. "I need some caulk be gone."
It scared the hell out of me. What was this "woman" trying to tell me. Is she offended that i'm a man.
After a few questions to other workers i found out that there is something called that. Another happy customer.
