Things that please me - Part 6

[Syd]

I have 4 sets of lights up and am already struggling with power points. Where the hell do you plug all this in?

Theres lots (& lots) of 6-point power boards in boxes, fed by multiple extension cords leading back to 2 power points with timers set to run 8pm to 11pm

For context, this was 10 years ago



2 boxes, 2 extension cords, 1 6-point power board and 1 4-point power board

I think I might need specialist help

At least all that electricity should dissuade you from pissing over the fence.



These are the Temu ones we put up just over a year ago, still going strong, so Mrs Post ordered some more plus some coloured ones and a little fibre christmas tree thingy that changes colours. The driveway is very festive. I am now paranoid about some methhead sneaking in and stealing them.

When we started expanding the dis[play we had people start walking up the lawn itself.
Then after the giant snowman (from Costco) people coming up next to the bedroom windows to take pictures.

Made myself a temporary / decorative fence with pvc, stripes, some painted solar laneterns and ribbons and then running lights across which solved the problem

Then Mrs Syd wanted to add more to the lawn so its gotten bigger each year

Pegging and crawling on the lawn cabling can GAGF though
Kills me every year

Pegging and crawling on the lawn

That's probably not the Christmas spirit young children should be exposed to, but this is the Things That Please Me thread I suppose...

You buy those huge powerboards that have numerous points

Remarkably funny moment in the office just before, involving the office dumb campaigner, he's elite at creating these moments.

One of our techs was on a Teams call, headset on and everything. The dumb campaigner walks up behind him and touches him on the shoulder, i mean interrupting a meeting but has no clue about this or anything really.

Well this scared the absolute shit out of the tech, he jumped up in fright, no idea what was going on. I was absolutely pissing myself, "good on ya dumb campaigner you got him a ripper!", I swear we're on the set of a sitcom.

I have a work colleague who does this all the time. I have my headset on and he'll just start talking and doing stuff like this.

If I have the headset on, i am on DND

The missus does this to me. I’ll be watching something on my laptop with AirPods in and she’ll walk up and start talking and then the stand off begins… Sometimes it takes up to 10-15 seconds before I cave and remove one before I get a blunt object thrown at me
