Disturbing behavior at Seneca Home Depot

I pulled into the Seneca Home Depot this afternoon and was sitting there finishing a smoke and waiting for the end of a song. heh

A truck pulled in a space in front of me and a car pulls in next to the truck. A Latino man and his son got out of the truck. He had something like “J’s Tree Service” across the top of the windshield so I assume they are up this way helping with storm damage cleanup. Anyway, they got out, checked something under the hood and headed in as did the two girls in the car. A couple minutes later, the girls come back and get in their car. The girl driving then get back out, walks around the the passenger side, opens the door, and commences violently slamming it into the truck. She did this probably 5 or 6 times.

After they sped out of the parking lot, the kid brings his dad back to the truck and was looking at the side. I got out and showed the kid where she hit the truck (dad didn’t speak English).

As I was showing them the damage, the kid explains that when he got out of the truck, the door hit her car. “It just barely hit it”, he says. He apologized and they headed in. The driver commenced to cussing both of them out in front of Home Depot. And the she gets back to the car and does that. JFC

I got with the manager to see if they could pull security footage but they don’t have access locally. It would take a police report and LEO request to obtain it so that went nowhere. I did track the kid down and let him know what I found out. I also made sure he knew he did nothing wrong. It was accidental and some people are just mean af for no apparent reason.

Anyway, the two girls were prob early 20s. They were in a silver Nissan Versa. And here’s the thing… the trunk area was smashed in so it’s not like this was a pristine car the kid hit.

On the outside chance someone knows them, please pass along “you’re a POS of a human being”. Thanks 🙏 😁

Parking my car for dark sky viewing spots

I moved from Charlotte recently and now live in northern Spartanburg county and I work close to downtown Greenville. I am now living in an area, where truly dark places are more accessible to view the beautiful night sky, especially in the winter!

From what I hear, places like Pisgah Astro Research Institute, Jones Gap State Park, Table Rock are some great dark sky viewing areas. I would love to go to those locations after it starts to truly get dark at around 10pm or later.

What sort of rules are there here for parking off the side of non-gated areas to get out of your car to watch the sky? I want to make sure I don't intrude anywhere, but I also want to make sure it's okay to park on the side of the road to enjoy the stars.

I appreciate the advice!

Single mother needing a job ASAP

I moved here a month ago from TN with my 4 kids . I had shelters that were open to take us in and job interviews lined up upon arrival. My kids and I are in a hotel I can barely afford and I'm still looking for work. It's like all the promises I was made even with me keeping consistent contact fell threw. It's a nightmare and now I have no vehicle so I'm learning bus routes. I'm staying off of pleasantburg and Augusta in GREENVILLE. I've tried to get emergency food stamps but apparently have to wait 30 days for a response (by the 16th). I'm still learning as I go but I need help. An agency that actually help, a real lead, places that are actually hiring. Thanks in advance.

Looking for room for rent for me & my 2 year old cat in Clemson area.

Was trying to move from Atlantic Beach in with my only friends at Hart’s Cove in Seneca and after getting strung along by the realtor for a month suddenly the owners said repairs needed to be done that won’t be finished this year. My friends have no idea what they’re talking about but going by their last roommate it could be possible it does. Either way it was very disappointing & depressing to me.

My friends helped me find a second place, taking over someone’s lease 10 miles away, but two men are already selected there and one is apparently religious and refuses to live with me. Person tried to see if they could change the lease to another building no they’re full up.

I am still currently employed full-time and my lease was originally up August 31st but I was able to pay for an extra month so I now need to be out September 1st max. I have no car, my mother is going to help me move upstate before her & her boyfriend move up to Pennsylvania and I can’t nor want to go with them if anyone wonders. So I’m desperate to find a way for us to get up to the Clemson area where I can be safe with my friends, closer to Harts Cove the better.

I am a 26 year old transgender woman who has been on hormones since 12/09/23. I have a small 2 year old calico cat named Callie. Due to my father’s physical & emotional abuse of me I’d prefer not to live with older men and also due to him my finances aren’t the best but my mother is willing to be a guarantor if there is issue with my credit. Around $650 a month rent would be preferable. Please DM me for my phone number.

upstatesc.org

Upstate SC Community Project is a discord that is focused on being a digital third space. Third spaces, traditionally churches, community spaces, bars/taverns, etc are great places to meet people in an unassuming environment but have become less common since the advent of the internet.

We have daily conversation and frequent meetings. People have met lifelong friends, gotten job connections, advice about moving and all sorts of other benefits. We hope to embody the idea of community and togetherness with a purpose by uplifting each other.

We would love to meet all of you. Here's a link straight to the discord invite if you don't want to go through our website:
