Most Impressive SO Box I've Seen

[3baygarage]

Yeah personality *****. They should only be allowed to display credentials

Hence the biggest credential, the massive tool box!

Just kidding!

It was just a made up example. My point is one might be inclined to walk into that office and think, wow this person sure knows how to spend money.

 

[Hakeem]

Yeah personality *****. They should only be allowed to display credentials

Displaying a bunch of licensed Disney merchandise isn’t really what I’d call “personality”

But hey, if you really like Star Wars don’t let me stop you

I guess my mind isn't on my doctor's personal finances when I go in for an appointment.

if you want to be a professional at your job, at least attempting to give the appearance of one is a good start.

As a customer displaying The Star Wars stuff would not bother me at all.

Displaying the Snap On stuff, on the other hand, tells me that this is a mechanic who charges too much.

 

[Callelle]

My plastic surgeon/orthopedist had about 20 hunting trophies in a waiting room with a huge stone fireplace and slate floors with Indian and African rugs scattered all over. He had a head or two in every examining room.

I was gonna say, my bariatric surgeon has car and Lego models decorating his office.

.

would you like your doctor to have his mid evil torture device collection on full display in his exam room?

should your attorney have her 500 beany baby collection in her office?

how about your veterinarian and his room full of life size taxidermy in the waiting room?

how about your kids teacher having their gun collection on the wall of the classroom?

All these would absolutely fascinate me.

Big-Time Boxes: Isaac Stitzinger, Snap-on

Measuring 42’ in length, this all-white with black trim Snap-on toolbox setup keeps this fleet technician’s tools organized so he’s ready to rock.

^^^If anybody can top this I'll be impressed.

It's his money (provided its paid for) so if it gives him joy, okay. This must be a couple hundred grand worth plus contents. Again, I have to wonder how much this guy can earn and if the kids have decent clothes.
Do you think the wall thermometer was a freebie?

Stand out from the masses, personalize your work station, be an individual.

why would i hate your office?

would you hate mine? i have a shadow box with model tractors, some small tools, my dads pocket knife with his name on it, shells and sand from my favorite anna maria beach, a meger wildlife print and a picture of the last facebook post a friend made about me the day before he died. oh yeah, a gerstner chest full of mementos and my ruger single six in a cowboy leather holster. i have a few awards myself.

that said, i want my yard, my buildings, my fields and my equipment to look good for others to see and not cluttered or in disarray.

i think my comment may have caused you offense when it was not meant to. you are one of the good ones here.

Why? Lessee. A conference table covered on coloring books, crayons, markers, pencils, a rubber chicken, rubber knife, dozens of Mardi gras bead strings, other toys. Walls with big posters of the periodic table of the metal bands, and the periodic table of curse words. A bunch of stuffies on shelves. A dozen or so plants on my window sills. Balloons. A ******, dripping brick on the corner of my desk. A magic wand hanging on the wall, that used to be a baseball bat in a previous life. Some foot high rude exclamation running round the top of the walls, that my staff would change weekly. Anything to make it festive. Outside my office, a countdown clock that counted randomly. It was offensive to some, until they realized it counted nothing. I used to change the message frequently. And an entire wall of Union notices, as I was the shop steward, as well as the evil management. Go figure.

I would never presume to judge anyone's decoration choices. I've learned to take joy in most everything.

No offense, just commentary.

 

[Ryno CW]

Spied this gorgeous monstrosity at Daytona Dodge. Sorry about the glass.

50k+?

Hutch-ception! A hutch on top of a hutch why didn't I think of that!? New challenge unlocked. My helmets are on custom wall mount stands that I made, but also use it how you want, do what you love, no hate at all.

Was he plastic surgerying the Indian and African's heads on the walls?!

I've seen doctors offices with way more BS than that, doesn't really register with me. "Wow, that's a lot of beenie babies" I think to myself. End observation. I can't imagine anyone actually gives a **** about that sort of thing? They're going to sit there and be mad or upset a toy bear is visible?

I had a doctor with an office COVERED in Barbra Streisand (or however it's spelled) movie posters. Stuff old enough and large enough they looked to be original movie promo items, mostly US, some from other countries. Pretty cool, don't make me watch any musicals, but interesting.

I figure you have a sub 10 second "that's a lot of posters" and then either ignore them or look at the design even if you don't like singing?

It's his money (provided its paid for) so if it gives him joy, okay. This must be a couple hundred grand worth plus contents. Again, I have to wonder how much this guy can earn and if the kids have decent clothes.

A lot of those are a business owner who wants a write off and was a tech at one point.

I would be very surprised if there's any correlation between boxes, tools, and raising children. Losers are just that. They'll spend the money, really just acquire debt, for boxes, cars, clothes, dining, drugs/alcohol - it doesn't matter. I'm sure if he has a box like that, the wife would divorce-**** him if he wasn't doing his job at home.

Or maybe he's 30, works for a family business, and thus gets a great paycheck?

 

[kaymccampbell]

Was he plastic surgerying the Indian and African's heads on the walls?!

Nah. They were hunting trophies. He was literally the great white hunter. Hemingway wrote a short story loosely based on him.

Most Dangerous Game? That wasn't Hemingway though.

Keep guessing. It was kinda tongue in cheek.
And the Cape buffalo's head was on the wall in his living room.

I don't give a hoot about his finances but I do mine.

That’s incredible.

Probably costs more than my house.

 

[PugetDude]

I would expect someone so highly invested in the Star Wars franchise to be an easy mark for a Snap On franchise.
YMMV

sounds interesting and no offense taken.

oddly enough, not that much different than some of the things on my desk/wall.

the facebook pic with comments i spoke of has several rude and inappropriate comments. all in jest but funny if you are in the know.

more alike than different. here, much like the real world when someone makes a comment there is no shortage of people to take one comment and run with it, good or bad rather than asking the question and trying to figure out why they feel that way.

picture of the brick ?

 

[niget2002]

Work in a tech cubicle farm and you do everything you can to make your little insignificant chunk of space feel less 'grey'.

 

[cannuck]

Tell that to 13 year old me with the Christie Brinkley poster in my bedroom.

You wear glasses now, don'tcha?

 

[kaymccampbell]

picture of the brick ?

Given away to my DB heir apparent. Probably still on the corner of his desk.

 

[Bob Peach]

sounds like just what I needed on my desk at my last gov`t job. The insufferable young person who was my last boss would have lost her **** !

 

[danski0224]

This is the only acceptable working environment

That's in the spirit of the shop I work at, but no chair.

 

[hobie18]

Excuse me sir, that shade isn't quite beige enough. What are you, some sort of individual?

In the place where there is no darkness...

 

[DAustin]

 

[hobie18]

Would
this be acceptable.

 

[dcg9381]

I wonder if the "business" bought those trophies? Office "art and decor" are legitimate businesses expenses... I've seen much more sketchy things done on business tax returns.

We all have hobbies... I'm good if you want to display yours on the wall.

 

[dr_clyde]

While I have never seen star wars helmets on display in a dealership or whatever, it doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I'd rather that dude work on my car vs the guy who's box is covered in "don't touch my tools" stickers plus the freebie stickers from racing parts that a customer paid for.

My office is full of non work related stuff. Artwork, sculpture, books, nice bottles of booze, whatever makes me smile or is interesting to look at. My customers don't care at all. In fact, lots of them contribute or strike up a conversation based on some widget I have on a shelf. My tommy gun vodka bottle has gotten me lots of interesting conversations, and it was given to me by a customer.

 

[Jayman17]

This is the only acceptable working environment

Ooooh, look at you with those fancy casters on that chair!

 

[ChefRex]

The people whining about the Star Wars helmets and having a bit of life and personalization have got to be the life of parties.

Who was whining? I just mentioned I wouldn't spend upwards of 6K to display them, I bought my box because I needed a place to store my tools.

 

[mikey03]

This is the tech’s office.

Not sure how I feel on this one. Doubt I’d want to walk into a doctors office and see his collection of expensive concert tickets and tour memorabilia all over the wall. Wouldn’t want to walk into a pizzeria and see their collection of moth and beetle specimen displayed on the wall. Yet there’s a barber shop with taxidermy around, and I like it.

But you go into a doctors office sometimes to talk to him. You usually aren’t allowed on the shop floor for liability reasons so it’s more like a closed to public office tbh

 

[Kurt4440]

Depends on your priorities. I don't take vacations, own motorcycles, drink/use drugs, etc - you end up with a lot of extra money.

I am pretty sure that you were looking for a motorcycle within the last couple of years. A small 2 stroke?
What happened?
My lack of bad habits (drugs, smoking & alcohol) and a desire to keep busy with extra work, has allowed me to indulge my need for motorcycles. I just traded a timing belt job for a Yamaha Vino 125 with a legitimate 211 miles on the odometer. I will not be riding it, my BMI is over 18.

 

[Madjik Man]

You wear glasses now, don'tcha?

And have hairy palms.

 

[PugetDude]

No

And have hairy palms.

We don't hobby shame here.

 

[FigN⋅m]

No

We don't hobby shame here.

According to this thread, it kinda seems like some folks do...

I wanted a conversation involving a really cool SO chest I saw at my Dodge dealer.

But nooooooooooooooooo...

You fookers had to ruin it.
