What’s The Opposite Of Nailing It?

, , , , | Right | March 12, 2026

I work in a store that sells exclusively paper and stationery, with the word “paper store” in the title of the store:

Customer: “I’ve been down every aisle, and I can’t find any nails!”

Me: “We don’t sell nails, sir.”

Customer: “Why not?”

Me: “Because this is a stationery and paper store.”

Customer: “But you do have a nail section?”

Me: “We don’t.”

Customer: “You sold out?”

Me: “No, we used them all up to nail the sign above the shop that says “paper store”.”

The customer didn’t get my smart-a** comment, and left to look for nails elsewhere… maybe a bakery or something.
