As Turin described it, all three men in the lawsuits wanted the lumber for home-improvement projects, got home and measured the pieces, felt they had been deceived and then turned to the law firm.
Lol, what a crock of *****
Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess
I blame buzzfeed for inspiring betas to try woodworking
They should know lumber yards reek of lunacy

hey you, gimme that square lumber, and then bring me the thinner wider board!
They'll instantly lose when the read the fine print that says "nominal size". Plus you only have to refer to the bazillions of industry and DIY books that explain lumber sizing.
The judge should also force them to turn in their man cards.

Hmm. I never knew that. I'm not all upset about it but I don't understand it either. "Because it is the way it has always been and it is just understood" always rubs me the wrong way (not to completion).
Next think they'll sue cinder block manufacturers for not being real

Typically, a board was rough cut 2"x4" before it was dried and planed flat, thus 2x4. Wait till you see what happens at 2x8.
Just wait til these idiots try to do any plumbing or piping work.

I'm calling dibs on suing Lowes

So, what other industry standard, "everyone knows that" kind of stuff can we sue for?
French Fries aren't French.
Hamburgers have no ham
Dr. Pepper has no medical degree
Peanuts aren't nuts
Channel Locks don't really lock

People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.
they should sue lowes for all the warped wood they try and sell.Aggie1205 said:

Attorneys that bring these types of suits should be disbarred.

Lowes paid out $1.6m a few years ago for the same thing. They actually have the correct measurements on the sign now. HD is dumb for not following suit and posting the correct sizes.Aggie1205 said:

Lawyers can't figure out that brick and CMU are 3/8" off!
Apparently, you can sue someone else because you're a moron.
"It's not common knowledge". Well, it was when intellect and common sense were respected qualities.

I always thought this was common knowledge until I had to explain to an architect that a 4" PVC pipe will not fit in a 4" wall.

Just about everything in a hardware store has nominal size and actual size. There is pretty much a reason for all of them.. it's not just some gigantic scam.Eliminatus said:

Did you know that if you buy a quarter pounder, take it home and plop it on a scale, it doesn't weigh 4oz? The humanity!
Dr. Pepper probably does have a medical degree, however the soft drink, Dr Pepper, does not. There is quite a minute distinction.Dad-O-Lot said:
