4x4 lawsuits

Next up: Suing McD's for their Quarter Pounders that only weigh that before they are cooked.

Did you read any of the article?

I did. I find it hard to believe every place selling that exact size does not have the actual size listed.

Not the handy type are you?

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Men have been lying about the size of their wood for years.

Exactly, which is why I tell the womenz I am 4.5" x 12.5"...

LOL. Just kidding.

 

[guspech750]

I don't think it's too outlandish considering if you go into an older home. Those pieces of wood actually measured out to what they are labeled as.

From another article:

"Asked whether it was coincidence that three different men found the same sort of issue with lumber first at Menards and then at Home Depot, and then all decided to go to McGuire Law, Turin said he couldn’t comment."

LOL.. Did somebody call Saul??

They should just sue menards for having shitty lumber in general.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I await Alexander lumber to be sued next since, you know, they supply most of north eastern IL.

My mind was blown when I learned this at about 13 years of age when I built a pretty bitchin ramp setup in my parents driveway.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Clicked on this thread thinking it was about 4x4 trucks, 4 wheelers and ladies in Confederate flag bikinis while drinking a beer and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Disappointed

Holy fuck there it is. Only took 23 posts.

I was waiting for this and was amazed it took so long.

That being said, I really didnt know that a 2X4 is not a 2X4 until like 5 years ago.

 

[Kaeghl]

I dunno. I am getting pretty ticked at this crap anyway.
"Unlimited" data/voice/text on my cell plan "oh that doesnt really mean unlimited, you were supposed to know that"
"12 inch sub" oh its only ten inches, but what are you complaining about.
This seems to be happening all over.

If there were no units on the 4x4 sign, even a fifth grader should have known better than to assume without doing even the most basic research in an age where it would have taken ten seconds in a mobile browser to get your answer, or maybe even less if there was an employee standing by.

If something is labeled as 4"x4" but isn't, that could be a problem. If it's labeled as a 4x4, I see absolutely no grounds for this suit at all, whatsoever.

And anyone not diligent enough to fetch and understand standards like this doesn't need to be working with wood in any capacity. If everything is as poorly researched/planned as this, it's going to be a craptastic catastrophe anyway.

I agree with you on the "Unlimited" data shit to a point. What's "Unlimited" is the total amount of data you're allowed to use, what's not unlimited is the bandwidth. Yes it's a technicality, but it's important as it makes their statements patently true. Sheisty sure, but it is what it is.

I went wood shopping at Menards a couple weeks ago in the premium area and it said underneath the label (actual size)

But what about the 10' long 4x4's?

 

[RICH17]

I didn't look at them. But I know a lot of menards signs for bulk stuff is hand written. So maybe its left off for that
