I’m an amateur hobbyist that loves building crafts, so the hardware store is a place I love going to when I need inspiration for some projects. Recently I bought small pipes, nails, propane refill, and electrical tape. I didn’t realize it as suspicious until my friend who works there stopped to say hello and jokingly said “what project are you building today, a bomb?”. I looked down in my cart and realized, “shit, it does look a little suspicious.” -u/gobij82718
