Bird Repellent


I can't believe Home Depot can get away with killing birds. So I'm at work. Setting up my good ol' hot dog stand. And I notice there's something sticky on the electrical cord. Like...really sticky. Grooossss. It's like a glue that never dries. And that damn shit won't come off my hands unless I use forty million ounces of fucking soap.

Then Treyson walks up to me and asks if he can use my sink. He's got that same sticky shit all over his hands.
"It's bird repellent."
The Home Depot People spry it in the rafters so the birds won't nest there. The bird repellent had dripped down and gotten on my cord. It got on one of the carts and that's how Treyson got it on his hands.

But here's the fucked up part: The bird repellent doesn't 'repel' birds. It fucking kills them! Yup. Wonderful, right?
When the birds land on the rafters, their feet get stuck together. Their feathers get stuck together. They can't fly and can't hardly move, so they just fall over and die. Isn't that awful? I'm officially angry with Home Depot.

The other day I saw a bird hopping around the parking lot trying to fly, but it couldn't. I almost cried. :(
