Man Still Waiting For Someone To Notice He Stained The Fence

February 25, 2018

Don Stein, 40, spent more than five hours sealing and staining his backyard fence last weekend, but is still waiting for anyone — his wife, kids, a neighbor — to notice.

“I mean look at how beautiful it came out,” he said, admiring the fence through the window. “It’s been three days and not a single compliment or even recognition of all the work I put in.”

Stein, who also sent pictures of the fence to a few select friends, is waiting for the appropriate amount of admiration from them as well.

“I got like one text back of a thumbs up emoji,” he complained. “Are you kidding me? Do you know how well this fence is going to be preserved for the next 3-5 years? No wood rot here, I can guarantee that.”

Stein is just waiting for someone to ask him about his “process,” which included modifying a bug sprayer to get “a spray so even and wonderful, you would think I paid someone hundreds of dollars to do this job.”
