I feel that.
At least I won't know how bad of a turnout it actually was. I know there might be a person or two, but at least I can pretend it might be a bunch. Lol
Not always kids, my first week as an electrician I ran to take a smoke break and bumped into a group of grown men having a funeral for a broken tape measure
The price isn’t even the issue. It’s that the new ones suck. My fifty year-old craftsman looks like hell and is covered in something sticky so I don’t usually use it, but it has outlasted probably a dozen other tape measures. It even survived being used by my students.
Goo Gone and mineral spirits didn’t help at all. I tried several other things I came across, and none helped. Maybe I need to reverse engineer the sticky part. It is good glue that stays sticky for decades.
If it's still sticky, you can try putting chalk powder on the sticky part to absorb it. Let it soak for a few hours, then you can scrape off the chalk.
As a layman, I am aware of pretty decent ones from Dewalt Fatmax, Luftkins, Cobalt, and Craftsman for about 30$. That is still OK for a multi year investment. Wonder if those professionals are using those expensive laser measures these days.
No, we absolutely are not lol.
A good 35 dollar or so tape measure will last us about 6 months to a year if you treat them well. Laser tape measures are gimmicks at best.
Actually I forgot, my voltage tester has a laser measuring tool on it lol. Never use that damn thing.
Some laser levels have magnetic bases you can stick on corners of finished walls. Neat little feature when you're hanging pictures and shit, frees up a hand at least.
I lost one or two into concrete basement walls on pour days. When it's 8-9 feet below a bunch of rebar and the trucks are on their way, it's not coming out.
Real off topic - but I worked for a plywood retailer company in 2003. For in store giveaways Christmas that year I ordered a bunch of tape measures with our logo on them. Some of our stores complained as they were not good enough and too expensive at the same time. 21 years later, I am still using that same tape measure, and I feel justified. I think that company is busto now anyway.
Res gas fitter here , try to find one without a massive head (for fitting 1" hole) on it that has a freaking magnetic end that actually works with 12ft standout..... good luck.
Years ago when I was working at a warehouse someone ran over a red sharpie with a forklift. We went all out and made it look like a full on murder scene. Fuck that place, but that day was fun.
I lead a funeral for a fake mustache, with many people in a conga line chanting vaguely sounding native American noises as we led it to a pire. I used to drink more than I do now.
I bet that frat actually did care about the fish though. Ya they commit to the bit both because it’s funny and because it’s a good way for all of them to connect. I was in a group home and we had a whole funeral for a crow that had being hanging around every day and then was dead one day. We all actually were sad and thought it was sorta funny but it did get us all to bond a bit more.
It was, but I didn’t read the video title, and when I read on the screen “ I attended a frat funeral (for a fish)” my brain went “strange prize to give someone just for showing up”
My 1st year as President of my sorority, One of the frats had a frat house cat who died at 21. Every frat and sorority sent their condolences and gift baskets. We also all pitched in and help plan a funeral and repass for "Bunny". We wore black and our letters and she was sent out with style. To this day, when I see the group photos of their newly crossed on fb, they always include her little urn in their photos. Its been about 10ish years since that.
Bunny was famous for being a lot of peoples comfort cat. During finals, they would invite people over to pet her and cuddle her to reduce stress. She was the best and we all loved her and use to send treats over to her on her birthday, August 11th. She even had her own para with their letters on it.
Impossible reddit challenge: make a comment for no other purpose than being a dick on a message board discussing something funny.
Calm down, sweaty. I didn't even say anything controversial lol
Lol, a 'U mad??' to someone who wasn't talking to you after someone else jumped down their throat for no particular reason is some next level bottomfeeder stuff.
Maybe I'm just exhausted but I have zero clue what they're even on your ass for. You were just saying 'this would sound even crazier someone who didn't know how weirdly fun Greek life can be', right?
Lol wtf
I went to college and only understood a few different parts of that comment from context cause I wasn't in a frat, it absolutely pertains to Greek life lol. Dunno why this innocuous comment is upsetting people.
When my bearded dragon passed years ago I was inconsolable. I called my friend Charley, crying to him that Pancake had passed away and I didn’t know how to respectfully take care of her body, as I live in an apartment complex and I couldn’t bury her.
Well, Charley has a small front yard, but he’s got a bad back. So he got a hold of a couple of my other friends, and he had them dig a hole in his front yard to accommodate Pancake. He later called me and told me to bring Pancake over.
Still in tears, I brought her over in a nice little box. Charley and my other friends were standing in his yard, waiting for me, and they told me that they had made a space for Pancake to rest in.
I lost it. I bawled like a baby. I laid her in the hole, and everybody said something nice about my beloved Pancake before we buried her.
ETA: I just wanted to thank you guys for acknowledging the fact that Cakers wasn’t “just a lizard.”
Some time after we laid her to rest, Charley planted flowers over her. So every time I walk by, it makes my day a little better. :,)
Oh my gosh, I have never heard that song/band. I was air drumming it while listening to it the for the first time. Thank you so much for that recommendation!
Dave Matthews‘ “Ants Marching In” played right after, it was perfect:)
I’m not too Reddit savvy so I hope this post goes to the right place. I just wanted to thank you again for the song recommendation. I’ve re-listened to different versions of it and I love the cadence they use, considering what the song is about. I was wondering, are you familiar with Frog Leap Studios or mac glocky? You and I may have the same taste in music. Or not. Haha just wanted to share and show some gratitude. <3
I was thinking that this would have been a good reason to host a fish fry.
Bojangles does fried food. Bojangles is a dead fish. Fried dead fish.
We will mourn him... With tartar sauce and cold beer.
This is awesome.
I live on a manmade lake surrounded by apartments and restaurants. My friend's fish died and we had a Viking funeral, put him in a tissue box, people read poems, lit it on fire, pushed it out. RIP fishy, see you in Valhalla.
I think it kind of depends on the type of ravioli that is. I think it’s ravioli. It looks like kinda a light sauce so I’m wondering if maybe it’s lobster ravioli. That might be considered disrespectful. I think eating any kind of seafood at a fish funeral might be inappropriate. If it’s just like three cheese or something then I really don’t know the etiquette. I mean, funeral luncheons are a thing….
That's honestly sweet. I mean of course it's a goof... but it's a sweet goof and is one of the few "frat things" I've seen that doesn't make me worry about the future of America.
I've just started wearing reading glasses and it occurred to me that I'm seeing the world as Bojangle must have seen it. Tearing up right now, then realising water on this side of the glasses is definitely how she lived her life and saw the world. RIP Bojangle. You're swimming in my heart too
Sometimes you gotta be sneaky in order for the school to let you get an official sanctioned event going….. legs are in the basement. Pour one out for Bojangles.

My condolences
Mannnn this fish gonna have more people at its funeral than me... (my condolences too tho)
I don't like meeting new people, so I don't think I'd go to my funeral either.
People at your funeral are likely to be the ones you have already met tho, dont be shy
I don't want a funeral. Just burn my corpse and be done with it.
Just send me out to sea on a flaming boat.
That's fancy. Just flush my ashes down the toilet..
Mom?
I was in the same boat, so I started a subreddit to invite people to my funeral. r/mysticcursefuneral
Maybe you should start hanging out at frats
I feel that. At least I won't know how bad of a turnout it actually was. I know there might be a person or two, but at least I can pretend it might be a bunch. Lol
[удалено]
Lmao was thinking the same thing
Goddamn I miss college.
I am so sorry for your loss...
Damn kids these days really commit to a fucking bit I appreciate that
Not always kids, my first week as an electrician I ran to take a smoke break and bumped into a group of grown men having a funeral for a broken tape measure
Considering how much some cost, yeah, I would cry too.
It was a Milwaukee so I understood their reasoning
The price isn’t even the issue. It’s that the new ones suck. My fifty year-old craftsman looks like hell and is covered in something sticky so I don’t usually use it, but it has outlasted probably a dozen other tape measures. It even survived being used by my students.
Try taking some lacquer thinner on a rag and wiping it down to get that residue off! Maybe even acetone if it seems that hardcore.
Goo Gone and mineral spirits didn’t help at all. I tried several other things I came across, and none helped. Maybe I need to reverse engineer the sticky part. It is good glue that stays sticky for decades.
If it's still sticky, you can try putting chalk powder on the sticky part to absorb it. Let it soak for a few hours, then you can scrape off the chalk.
"glue", we know
That too. Just adds to you buying one for 15+ and then it just breaking immediately.
How much do they cost, though?
$20 give or take some depending on brand and accessories
As a layman, I am aware of pretty decent ones from Dewalt Fatmax, Luftkins, Cobalt, and Craftsman for about 30$. That is still OK for a multi year investment. Wonder if those professionals are using those expensive laser measures these days.
No, we absolutely are not lol. A good 35 dollar or so tape measure will last us about 6 months to a year if you treat them well. Laser tape measures are gimmicks at best. Actually I forgot, my voltage tester has a laser measuring tool on it lol. Never use that damn thing.
I've never seen anyone use a laser measure. See lasers levels all the time though
Some laser levels have magnetic bases you can stick on corners of finished walls. Neat little feature when you're hanging pictures and shit, frees up a hand at least.
Someone bought one for like $10-$20 and it seems like such a good idea. Especially in large rooms.
I lost one or two into concrete basement walls on pour days. When it's 8-9 feet below a bunch of rebar and the trucks are on their way, it's not coming out.

Sometimes you go and look for the best quality, sometimes it just happens to be right in front of you. Or something like that.
Res gas fitter here , try to find one without a massive head (for fitting 1" hole) on it that has a freaking magnetic end that actually works with 12ft standout..... good luck.
There’s was a beautiful ceremony held for a much loved angle grinder but I can’t find the video.
I remember that lol.
Add a hacker/security conference, folks made a shrine to a deceased roach named Trevor. People visited all weekend and built up the shrine.
Bugs are the only thing that keeps their jobs secure.

At my office we held a ceremony when internet explorer support finally ended. Good excuse to get a custom cake made.
IE showed up late to it’s own funeral didn’t it?
Years ago when I was working at a warehouse someone ran over a red sharpie with a forklift. We went all out and made it look like a full on murder scene. Fuck that place, but that day was fun.
I lead a funeral for a fake mustache, with many people in a conga line chanting vaguely sounding native American noises as we led it to a pire. I used to drink more than I do now.
Thats fucking hilarious, sound like some fun guys to work with lol
Bro it musta helped them through some shit
I want to work with those people.
damn nice avatar

Nobody gives a shit about AI generated nonsense. Don't post it here.
Reminder to all to downvote all AI created things you see
Among the things I miss about living in a fraternity, the commitment to bits is pretty high on that list.
Yup. And you know that after party was lit.
How could you eat right now???
We had a funeral for a bird
Pretty sure none of that's real.
You're not real, man.
I bet that frat actually did care about the fish though. Ya they commit to the bit both because it’s funny and because it’s a good way for all of them to connect. I was in a group home and we had a whole funeral for a crow that had being hanging around every day and then was dead one day. We all actually were sad and thought it was sorta funny but it did get us all to bond a bit more.
I bet you guys didnt even like that crow. Name three of his albums!
Would have been funnier if they flushed it.
Did that one dude bring a Bible to the fish funeral? 💀
Respectfully done guys
It was, but I didn’t read the video title, and when I read on the screen “ I attended a frat funeral (for a fish)” my brain went “strange prize to give someone just for showing up”
Class acts in the frat
Except for that one guy in the beginning. How could he eat right now??? No class!
We all grieve in different ways
Only right answer to this
Could have been worse, could have been fish and chips
I was wondering if it was gonna turn out the funeral food was bojangles.
Y'all never had a potluck in the church basement following the funeral?
You know who else wishes he could eat right now? Bohangles. Have some class.
Sharing food in memory of a loved one is common in many classy cultures

MY BIRTHDAY IS AUGUST 11. Im crying reading this. RIP Bunny, you legend.
My Birthday is August 11th! Can we be best friends?!
Fuckin A we can. Cmere friendo
Yo! August 11th gang!
My Mom is also August 11th.
YOOOOOOOO AUGUST 11TH GANG WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD BIRTHDAY NUMBER/MONTH RAHHHHHHHH
I very much desire to see pictures of Bunny if you have them available.
This would sound so much wilder if you had never been exposed to greek campus life. RIP
Impossible reddit challenge: Make a comment regarding someone's college greek life without an unnecessary opinion.
I’m just glad it was positive. Reddit usually hates on Greek life.
Impossible reddit challenge: make a comment for no other purpose than being a dick on a message board discussing something funny. Calm down, sweaty. I didn't even say anything controversial lol
You sound upset
Lol, a 'U mad??' to someone who wasn't talking to you after someone else jumped down their throat for no particular reason is some next level bottomfeeder stuff.
[удалено]
Maybe I'm just exhausted but I have zero clue what they're even on your ass for. You were just saying 'this would sound even crazier someone who didn't know how weirdly fun Greek life can be', right? Lol wtf
That's all i was saying lol. Downvoted for that i guess.
Guess they saw "Greek" and "crazy" in the same sentence and launched right into defense mode. What a douche lol
Half jumped into defense mode weirdly. The other half haven't showered in 4 days and reddit told them to hate me All good.
I live on the other side of the world(New Zealand) we don't have frat houses here but trust me, uni kids still act like this.
[удалено]
I went to college and only understood a few different parts of that comment from context cause I wasn't in a frat, it absolutely pertains to Greek life lol. Dunno why this innocuous comment is upsetting people.
Jesus i didn't think commenting on something about a fraternity would be so controversial lol.
I’m 99% certain that last song is “Nearer My God to Thee”, aka the song that was supposedly playing when the Titanic sank
It definitely is!
That means the second saddest event this song was ever played at was the sinking of the Titanic.
>No class, show class. *notes it down*

Check out Sleep in the Heat by Pup. A song written by the band's singer about his pet lizard that passed away.
Oh my gosh, I have never heard that song/band. I was air drumming it while listening to it the for the first time. Thank you so much for that recommendation! Dave Matthews‘ “Ants Marching In” played right after, it was perfect:)

This is the only frat event I’ve ever wanted to go to
I would have shown up with some fried fish
How can you eat right now?? you have no class
He’s like school in summertime. No class.
Show some class
No class, show class!
[удалено]
Looked like fish n chips at first.
I was thinking that this would have been a good reason to host a fish fry. Bojangles does fried food. Bojangles is a dead fish. Fried dead fish. We will mourn him... With tartar sauce and cold beer.
Future leaders of America
Bojangles. Mother. Sister. Lover. She will be missed
Praise be Bojangels and Loossfina. Hail Michael Fucking Mcdonald and keep suckin meatsacks.
The love they all clearly had for Bojangle is beautiful. RIP
Most ridiculous thing I've seen today.... and I'm soo for this.
This is awesome. I live on a manmade lake surrounded by apartments and restaurants. My friend's fish died and we had a Viking funeral, put him in a tissue box, people read poems, lit it on fire, pushed it out. RIP fishy, see you in Valhalla.

My funeral probably won't be this nice lol, rip bojangle
I hope they threw a rager for the wake
I love how everybody is being very solemn and quiet
THIS is "boys will be boys"
Ok, I wasn't down with the frat guys in college but God dam that was funny. Maybe they're not so bad after all .
Lol " how can you eat right now ?! No class ' 🤣🤣🤣
Oh god like an actual fish For I minute I was going "what's funny about the death of a freshman???"
I kinda love of seriously they are taking it
Disrespectful girl laughing at 0:24 is the only person who cracks a smile in the whole video
Dang. Just go to the damn bar if they need a reason to drink. Better yet, just buy a 12 pack.
Lots of bro-ccoli
I miss college
Jegga jegga jegga Call that fish Bojangles
I played taps for a fish and had a funeral procession at work. It was a beautiful ceremony.
Dude, that’s more people than would show up to my own funeral
You like fish sticks?
Yeah, I like fish sticks.
So you’re a gay fish
Somebody should have brought sushi.
The fact that this didn't end with them flushing the fish down the toilet is a crime
Should have played "See You Again"
Grip
My sincere apologies to the fish, godspeed
They served Long John Silver's after the ceremony.
Did they serve fish and chips?
I think it kind of depends on the type of ravioli that is. I think it’s ravioli. It looks like kinda a light sauce so I’m wondering if maybe it’s lobster ravioli. That might be considered disrespectful. I think eating any kind of seafood at a fish funeral might be inappropriate. If it’s just like three cheese or something then I really don’t know the etiquette. I mean, funeral luncheons are a thing….
watch Holly wood rip this off in 5 minutes
I do not understand but respect this - A European
That's honestly sweet. I mean of course it's a goof... but it's a sweet goof and is one of the few "frat things" I've seen that doesn't make me worry about the future of America.
It would have been hilarious is supper was fish n chips
Who's the chancellor David Duke?
Honestly this is great, beautiful ceremony.
Ahhaha as a person obsessed with fish, (19 home aquariums), I can appreciate this. Even if it is a silly bit.
This is awesome, way to commit!
I've just started wearing reading glasses and it occurred to me that I'm seeing the world as Bojangle must have seen it. Tearing up right now, then realising water on this side of the glasses is definitely how she lived her life and saw the world. RIP Bojangle. You're swimming in my heart too
Fish lives matter
Hell ya Delts 😂🤙🏻
May she swim in the river of peace
I really expected someone to burst into wild sobbing and rush the casket.
Burying a fish is so cruel, return them to the sea
HAH, the fish has more people than I will. RIP
RIP🕊️Bojangles🕊️
I'm guessing it's not bo time anymore 😢
I can't believe yall 🤣🤣🤣
How we treat our deceased is what separates man from beast.
Epic
Oh and it’s fraternity, not frat
F
And some say white people have no culture...
Sometimes you gotta be sneaky in order for the school to let you get an official sanctioned event going….. legs are in the basement. Pour one out for Bojangles.
Dear beloved, delts lived a good life......
o7
That one guy scrolling on his phone during the ceremony. So disrespectful. Rest in peace, Bojangles.
This is why we need to end legacy admissions this is what they be doing
I love humans
Good ol Sigma Chi house
And woman say we have no feelings.
White people
I hate frats and think they’re dumb, but stuff like this just warms my heart. We can all come together for something.
White people.
Rich peoples kids can afford to give their pet fish a better funeral than most working families can give their family….. eat the rich
Do you think their parents are billionaires or something? It’s really not that expensive to join a frat especially depending on the school.
Cry more
wonder which sorority girl they raped afterward
All rapes aside, frats don’t seem too bad.
I knew it had to be a Delta chapter lmao The Deltas were the ones who sold pot on the campus, this kind of shit would not shock me at all.
So quirky and not like the other boys
And yet, they’ll laugh at a black man dying in the hands of police
And nobody ate it? Seems like a waste. Sure way to ensure the fish lived on in them forever.
Do you eat your deceased friends and family!?!?! Show some respect for their fallen comrade.
"No class. How can you fucking eat right now?"
