I went to the Warehouse to get some new bungee/stretchee cords to hold down my boat cover .. couldn't find them ...
Found a salesperson, who said they don't stock them any more because they are dangerous ...
How fucking stupid .. one of the most useful things ever and the wimps declare them "not safe" ...

Some fucktard smacked themselves in the eye with a bungie cord & cries like a banker losing money
That same fucktard is gonna see the rest of us screwed over because of their stupidity like a banker losing money

Warehouse tend to sell the cheap crap in this line. I've had a couple that have had the wire hooks straighten out without a lot of strain. I dont know how good the flat strap bungees are.

Fucking safety Nazis. I'm still getting over truckies not being allowed to use rope.
Fuxache, it's the most basic skill the profession had. What's next? Butcher's knives?

Those flat strap rubber bungees are useless, I've had two of them come undone on me. As for the stretchy bungy chords, I've been using them for years and never had one let me down yet. You just have to respect their limits when using them.

Get yourself to para rubber and buy bungie cord by the meter. Make your own custom ones
Your welcome...

Butcher's knives...?
no, but sailors working for Stos (Shell) are not allowed knives on deck......
