    how is it that no matter the size or complexity of any home project; it is guaranteed that I will have to go to all 3 Menards, Home Depot, and Lowes in order to purchase the required materials/tools? And all 3 of those stores are on the opposite sides of town from each other (like the points on a triangle.)

    Seems even worse right now than usual. When building my flight pen I had to go to every damn building store in the city and multiple locations of some to get enough materials. Lowes, Home Depot, & Menards...... Hardware cloth, corrugated,............ talk about irritating!

    Learned something I feel as an adult boat owning male I should have known before I was 54. The lug nuts on my boat trailers is the same size as a standard spark plug socket, on all 4 of my boat trailers so it is not a coincidence. In my defense I have never had a flat tire on my boat trailer.

    So I get what it is for someone to be a Karen My question is, who was the first "Karen" and how did they become the originator. it had to start somewhere.

    It is believed that the first reference to a Karen came from the stand up comedian Dane Cook.

    I've said that dozens of times in my life and have never considered that.

    I know a guy that started a heating and air condioning company and called it FnA mechanical since he uses that phrase often, he tells clients it stands for furnaces and air conditioning.
