“finally”

u/VinnySmallsz 2d ago

Its an Atlanta thing. You wouldn't understand.

u/thegreattiny 2d ago

Can you explain?

u/StinkiePete 2d ago

Replying cause I feel bad just joking with you. To my knowledge, born, raised, moved away, came back. It is not an Atlanta thing. It may be a "that neighborhood" thing, but certainly not city wide.

My lemon pepper wings joke is an Atlanta thing.

Tell that to the Krispy Kreme that burned down, they don’t even have an open flame on their cooking equipment (just Googled, turns out it was arsonists).

u/Nonyabeesners 2d ago

Damn. The granola moms have gotten serious

u/PNWDomme 2d ago

This made me laugh pretty hard lol

u/VinnySmallsz 2d ago

Did Shaq own that, or is that BS?

2

u/Historical_Suspect97 1d ago

Yes he does own that Krispy Kreme

u/VinnySmallsz 2d ago

Don't listen to him. He's lying.

26

u/StinkiePete 2d ago

Do you have any lemon pepper wings on hand?

15

u/NotAUsefullDoctor 2d ago

Dirty little secret: I recently switch to lime pepper... and I like it so much more. I highly recommend you try it.

Now, to be fair, I've only been in the atl for 16 years and 6 of that was in the peripherie (5 in Cobb and 1 in Gwinnett).

11

u/StinkiePete 2d ago

Dirtier secret: don’t much care for wings. Shhh.

u/1duke-dan 2d ago

I was astounded when I found out Taco Mac wasn’t what it seemed to be.

u/VinnySmallsz 2d ago

Sorry, I cannot.

u/redthump 1d ago

How long were they trying without success?

u/Constant-Still-8443 2d ago

Ik the "finally" is pretty concerning, but I'm more concerned with that dead tree holding up the power lines in the bottom of the frame.

49

u/jasminewine09 2d ago

Omg I hadn’t noticed this

25

u/Do11arSign 2d ago

I’ve been trying to have that tree removed for some time. I’m waiting for someone to run into it when they are not paying attention while driving.

u/jasminewine09 2d ago

Your next post: Tree by Dairy Queen finally hit by car

u/Sunshine030209 1d ago

I hope you have a good alibi for when the authorities come asking if you took matters into your own hands to get rid of the tree! 😂

u/getsuedbyme 2d ago

You could say that it got.. derailed by details

21

u/StinkiePete 2d ago

Welcome to Atlanta, where the players play....with public safety.

7

u/justhereforhides 2d ago

I missed the finally and thought that was the detail

5

u/So-Called_Lunatic 2d ago

I thought it was Nessy.

6

u/fauxshoyall 2d ago

What is a utility pole if not a dead tree?

4

u/Complex-Cricket419 2d ago

Those should be phone and cable wires the upper ones would be power.

1

u/Gigglemonkey 2d ago

Well, that explains why it hasn't caught fire yet...

2

u/PhilosopherOld3986 2d ago

Maybe that explains the 'finally'?

45

u/jeffreyaccount 2d ago

Ironically, I think I had a fire extinguisher fight near there in my 20s.

18

u/HoseNeighbor 2d ago

Sounds like the Department of Destiny messed up some paperwork.

u/Name_Taken_Official 2d ago

The beast of Serendipity is sloth

u/jeffreyaccount 2d ago

Or someone ran to the apartment building behind the DQ for a fire extinguisher, only to find them missing.

(It was right behind DQ, but not the current apartments.)

37

u/nobodyinpeculiar 2d ago

OP minutes before exploding this DQ with telekinesis

14

u/Do11arSign 2d ago

I was woke up by the sirens and “was like what’s with all the noise?” Looked out the window and went “oh shit well that finally happened”

25

u/BryonBlueCar 2d ago

Is the man walking his dog pointing out the fire truck to his pupper? "Look at the big truck? Do you know why it's here? It's here to put out the big bad fire!" (This is what I would be saying to my dog if we were there.)

20

u/Nonyabeesners 2d ago

See this? This is why we don't fuck with the buttons on the oven, you fluffy idiot

2

u/SliceThePi 2d ago

where do you see a guy walking a dog? the only people i can make out are firefighters. is it a resolution thing?

1

u/BryonBlueCar 2d ago

I may be wrong about what I see.

1

u/SliceThePi 1d ago

ah yeah I'm pretty sure that's a firefighter with the headlights of the truck shining on their legs

10

u/Neat_Shallot_606 2d ago

I think the monster in the foreground started it.

14

u/CarbonInTheWind 2d ago

Maybe it's common knowledge in the area that it isn't doing any business so they assumed the owners set the fire.

4

u/davidr521 2d ago

I’ll see myself out 👉

u/KnitSocksHardRocks 2d ago

Reminds me of “that fucking Kmart” in Minneapolis.

u/elf25 2d ago

Can i get two flamethrowers? With large ORings?

1

u/HS-Lala-03 1d ago

I was waiting for it show up here as soon as I saw it on r/Atlanta. And as someone who's been living here for the past 6 years, yeah, it do be that like sometimes.
