Yes! Sofra of
Syndrome Black & Dekar
, like a number particularly high for Italian men aged between 25 and 55 years: I do not absolutely need any electric tool, but as I see a drill or a chainsaw on display, I remain attracted to the shelf front.
I can not do anything. Not to mention all those tools which, of course, any normal human being can easily do without: the rotary saw to cut the boards to size, the jackhammer, the cultivator, the lathe for wood and the body repair shop, until you get to a cutting torch or even semi-sliced \u200b\u200bcold meats. What inventions! What wonders! What useless stuff in a common national average house!
In reality, 'this stuff is not sold to us outsiders, but who uses it successfully to feed his family: maybe invest a few hundred euro and then if it pays for working as a slave for over ten hours per day. enter a
DIY centers : frankly I find exciting to enter a computer store, because I come out or disappointed or thoughtful (I buy • Do not buy it? I buy it here or there?
).
similar effect has to do the DIY for those who work there with that stuff. But for
ordinary mortals, a
DIY centers is the place where the kid in us can go out disguised as a distinguished gentleman who wants to be helpful in the house: all crap!
Other than helping mothers, girlfriends and wives to repair electrical systems and ceilings: bricolage is neither more nor less than a 1:1 aspect ratio version of the static model when we were kids, a
Meccano or Lego jumbo . Instead Kit Bburago or Focke Wulf
of
Italeri there coimbentazione the cellar or the restoration of the grandmother's belief : change sizes and uses, but in our minds we know that the basic principles are the same! Just this summer I did two jumps that of Civitavecchia to DIY centers in search of tablecloth clips-holder for the table on the terrace: DIY
today are not just hardware, but there is everything from your household stuff for animals, gardening, the patchwork
and company, including knitting and crochet. Obviously I'm out of there without the pegs, but with 25 € of products for the car. As soon as I entered I had an attack of this syndrome: a chainsaw to the hedges . Beautiful and Special offer nearly 200 €. Obviously at home we do not have hedges, but
was fabulous and we find beautiful in five, all males and all to look like the idiots, including a gentleman to my right ... to him, a lady who was passing by, looking at the apostrophe: "Anto ... I have two of those ... tenemo Vié street here ssemo eg pillows!"
"Anto" sighs and walks away dejected with her ... Here this is typical: I wondered if "Anto" had a fence at home, or if you just saw when he saw a hedgerow drove out the money from the Alberta to get a present out of season ... And I also asked if the lady knew that "Anto" dazed as they had the girls dress in front of an offer: they have entire closets full, but can not resist a t-shirt 10 € all identical to those they already have.
the males care less about how they dress and more than ironmongers' shops: not fill cupboards, but crates of attezzi. Screwdrivers now sell them directly to the set, not individual: you need a small screwdriver for a Vitarelli cabbage cut? Buy the set of 25 screwdrivers
Beta to 30 € and you will see that the pile is also what you need to you! In the most comprehensive
stoned when I bought the same screwdriver twice to have convinced I took two different only home I noticed the bullshit.
The most disturbing thing is the effect of omnipotence gives us the DIY centers
:
when we come and see wooden planks, platforms, metal, tiles, there are more great ideas in mind as redoing the bathroom floor , to build a wardrobe, make-away corners and bulkheads inside the house ... all stuff that most of us would not even know design, let alone make real!
Generally in these dens of iniquity, is to meet our whim of architects and construction engineers, some imaginary shelf with the inevitable manual : books and pamphlets on various prices which have passed over the construction of a partition in perforated simple and affordable for everyone, as if it were an identical addition of a new tower at the Castle of the Black Knight Lego ... to read well, however, happen often enough tips such as "
in doubt, contact a professional" or "pursuant to the izing such a thing, contact a professional in a position to issue the certificate" or "careful do this if you do not cause structural damage to your home
: it is left unfinished at this point that the electrical and hobby room, waiting to have some of miliaio € to spend on the elusive professional after finding out that you tried to do yourself, you
Spenner up to capacity, just to punish you for your presumption!
One thing that is somewhat chilling: long ago past the window of a toymaker in Rome I imbattutto in a series of packages marked
Black & Dekar
. They are very recognizable, black and orange. I did not understand: what the heck we are drills on display in a shop for children? Simple ... drills were toy!
the entire catalog of formats toy, brush cutter, milling and lathe included. Obviously could not miss the table work and the trolley-like tools to Dad. Understand? Like Barbie is an indispensable tool to prepare girls to svaliggiare stores
pret-a-porter
during the sales results and market stalls, so the Black & Dekar to prepare since it was reasoned his younger prospective purchasers of hand-cut and hedges! There is hope ... we are condemned, men and women of this Earth, to spend a portion of our earnings on things totally unnecessary duplication in the things we already have, but always to satisfy quell'uzzolo uncontrollable generation of priests Catholics have never been able to defeat: the desire to shopping
