After the second time I would have ordered something else. Who wants a shower door that breaks that easily?

Unlike you, maybe his use case doesn’t include 200lb dudes getting rough with the shower door at the end of a 9 hour shift?

heh heh.
We rented a hotel room in Venice--an attic remodel in an otherwise classy hotel, that looked like it was done by someone's drunk uncle the day before we got there. We walk in for the first time, my son decides to take a shower, closes the glass door, and it shattered. I think he weighed about 120 at the time. The hotel was nice about it, didn't charge us for the door, I think they knew the remodel was a piece of crap.

Yeah. In hindsight that would have been better but switching to a new outfit would have put us at the back of the line, so the incentive to see if they could get it right was high. Eventually had to switch suppliers anyway.

You should be banned for that one. j/k

The high school I went to has finally decided to change its nickname from "Big Reds" due to it being racially insensitive. You can imagine the outrage this has sparked. I really don't understand why anyone would care so much what nickname a high school's athletic teams go by. It's just weird.

I realize this cuts both ways, but my point is why have a nickname that some find offensive? Just pick something else.

^my bad. I read your post as you were in the “big reds moniker must not be fuct with” camp

Because the Venn diagram of (1) vocal racist bigots who have a voice in their community and (2) washed up local heroes whose best days were in high school and become disenfranchised with a nickname change is virtually a circle.

Yes, I believe you are correct.

Also "I know a couple Indians and they aren't offended by it..."

What if the red refers to the color of the stockings?

Hey... I know a bunch of those people from HS. :nonono2:

They’re probably concerned about the financial hit from losing their biggest backer:

People who say such and such is my “ride or die”. Especially when someone who is 49 says it.

Nah, they've got that covered by switching to the name "Tridents." :)

See, I knew someone would get it.

People who say "form factor" when they mean shape or size, for anything other than electronics. Heard it on This Old House--using the term describing some framing.
