The worst is when you're fighting and fighting only to realize the handle of the top one is catching the lip of the one below it...
Growing up, we had steel 5 gallon buckets left over from various products related to farm life and a family member who had a logging business, but mostly because my stepdad hated plastic buckets. I never got an explanation for why, but I knew better than to ask, too. If you think plastic ones are hard to separate, try a couple steel ones that were put away wet. There’s usually a hammer and large screw driver involved, and the fear of poking a hole in one of the “good” buckets or making a dent that couldn’t be fixed. We had our “good” buckets for light use (carrying water or feed or garden produce) and our “other” buckets that were designated for rough use (handling rocks, potatoes, or fish/game trimmings) The good ones were always the ones that stuck together and very quickly joined the ranks of the “other” category, because the “other” category usually had dents and holes that would prevent them from sticking together. God help me if I used a “good” bucket for any chore that might make a mark on it. It was a very different life then.The worst is when you're fighting and fighting only to realize the handle of the top one is catching the lip of the one below it...
Hope he didn't develop a shitty outlook afterwards.Ok…I’ve got a TRUE glass eye story for ya….
Sitting around a campfire, at a racetrack, after too many to drink, with lots of peeps.
Buddy, real joker, with a glass eye… (lost his eye as a kid when he crashed his bicycle and wheel spoke went into his eye). ….anyways, funny argument started over his exclamation that he had glass eye. To prove it, he popped it out and dropped it into a large mug of beer. Thinking to one up him, buddy holding the mug chugged it down….and swallowed the glass eye. They really aren’t that big and are flat on the back side. Being expensive…the drinking buddy had to check the toilet the next few days to recover the glass eye…which once sanitized..was put back unto use!
Perfect timing. Just struggled today to try to separate 2 plastic buckets. Finally gave up after uttering a phrase that rhymes with bucket.The worst is when you're fighting and fighting only to realize the handle of the top one is catching the lip of the one below it...
