Picture this: You’re at Home Depot, eyeing that perfect hammer for your DIY disaster, when suddenly your eardrums declare war on you. No, it’s not the latest Black Friday brawl—it’s the store’s new “safety initiative” blasting high-pitched shrieks to scatter day laborers like pigeons from a park bench. Advocates are yelling foul, comparing it to torture devices or that mythical Cuban sonic weapon that only spies seem to hear. Meanwhile, migrants plug their ears with whatever’s on sale, turning a parking lot gig hunt into a nauseating symphony. Home Depot claims it’s just to stop overnight parking, but let’s be real: nothing says “welcome to the home improvement family” like weaponized noise that penetrates your bones and your patience.
