Do you take a baseball bat or knife with you when you open your shed just in case there’s a wild animal or axe murder in there? I do

  • A baseball bat and knife can be fairly easy for them to defend against. Instead you should carry a gas container and pretend to be intoxicated while making comments about how fun it would be to burn the shed down.  If you hear a clatter you know it's time to run back inside and lock the door.

    Good idea :) I need to get my weed wacker out of there and I’ve been trying to build up the courage to open the door for the past hour. I go through this meltdown every week lol . Maybe I’ll just clean the kitchen instead -_-

    Please be careful not to do that: you never know when it might be your beloved Randy D hiding in the shed while he waits for you to leave home so that he can sneak in again to perform maintenance on all of the hidden cameras and microphones he has installed there. (Cough, cough.)

    Don‘t worry, I just kind of stand to the side of the door and open it really fast then step back. If anything ever moved in there I’d probably just drop dead of a heart attack, lol.

    This works better. 27 foot range. Aim for the eyes.

    Okay I love this idea but this looks like something I would keep in the shed so I’m not sure how that would work out.

    I have some wine and hard iced teas, if you don’t want one of those options,  get your own damn drink.

    I think she is stoned and can't get off the couch. And I already have a glass of whiskey.

    Do you keep your shed locked?  If you do nothing should be in it. If not then buy a lock. 

    And the Wasp spray but keep it in the house.

    No, I don’t have a lock on my shed :) people don’t even lock their houses here so I’d seem like a psycho if locked my shed lol. The bee spray is a good idea. I don’t know why I always get anxiety over opening it, I’ve never found anything in it, but every time  I go to get something out of it my anxiety goes over the top lol. It’s just one of my weird things I guess.

    I hate that feeling. I get it everytime I go outside by myself in the dark.  I know I watched too many scary movies. And i have not watched one in 20 yrs.

      Aren’t you worried about accidentally using that bee spray on your beloved Randy D at your shed?
