Pallets in fields

Cleaning woman found this photo when vacuuming out the space shuttle after it's last trip.
Pretty disturbing if you ask me.
Seems to validate this entire thread.

Holy Moly. The apocalypse must be upon us.

You will be receiving an e-mail from my trustworthy Nigerian business associate, Dr. Goronyo Baba, who will give you the details as to how you can acquire the pallet.

It's all good sseelhoff... I have a Prince in Nigeria that owes me a favour. You're covered!

Christmas pallets!!!

Well, that's quite a different take from the normally suspicious tone of this thread, Randy.

Watch out for the pallets dressed in sheep’s clothing. (Tone reset)

Is this a pallet in sheeps clothing?

I'm convinced that many of the "free pallet" ads on CL are just the junk no one wants, sometimes cobbled together to resemble a pallet... got lucky and answered an ad from a pool supply place, got several real nice heavy duty pallets. Of course I would like the 4 way ones, but free is free.. I think the coyotes must get ours somehow, we used to have 20-30 nice ones (used them for sidewalk when we were building house. Made it easier to cross the yard to the driveway in the mud) and they have slowly disappeared over the years... Its probably been 20 years since we brought any home.

.. carry on.

Do you think they might view you as a pallet abuser for letting them lye in the mud. Perhaps, over time one by one they have all got up and gone away for counseling. :laughing:

I wouldn't be too quick to blame their disappearance on the coyotes. Have you considered they are sneaking off one by one so as to you not noticing? I found one the other day that clearly was not in the same spot I left him (or her).

Around here, I have a stream of pallets. I just pile them down by the road and in a day or so they vanish. It seems everyone wants them.

Now, I could be wrong and maybe they just grow legs and walk away. I never thought that until this thread but that is a possibility.

My place must be a retirement home for pallets. I tried putting a fair condition one out by the road. A week later I brought it back in. Nobody wanted it.

You've got to have faith and condition the citizenry to learn you mean business. Lots of people want pallets but don't want to stop for just one. It's the drive through mentality where people don't want to get out of the car.

They used to pull that one pallet thing on me until I added another and then another. It took a while but I learned if you leave them out long enough, especially if more than one, someone will eventually stop. My first ones were staying 'till heck froze over. Pallets have some sort of control over the masses and people want them.

These days, people know that someone will stop sooner or later and if they want in on the experience they better hit the brakes. And they do, with some pallets gone before I take my first lookee-see to check status. Every now and then there is a loner, maybe a shunned pallet, but eventually they are adopted.

Maybe you should have put a for sale sign on it.

I've always said try to give something away and no one wants, put for sale on it and someone will steal it...

There is some part of my psyche that unconsciously keeps 'an eye out' for pallets... at the hardware store, the feed supply and even the tip! (the council rubbish grounds)

Hmmmm... what causes this phenomenon? :scratchchin:

If you are like me, you have a pallet addiction. I use them for all kinds of projects.
