Why Are Garage Doors The Butt of so many Jokes?

Garage Door Vinyl Posters
If you’ve never seen one of these clever garage door vinyl graphic posters, then you’re in for a treat. These garage door posters simply affix to your garage door just like any other vinyl graphic affixes to your car without damaging the paint job. With a wide variety of funny images like a giant alligator or bars of gold bullion, you could transform the outside of your garage into an awesome work of art that will let the entire neighborhood know you’re funny. Best of all, when the neighbors get tired of seeing your jet aircraft or the giant fire truck squeezed in your garage, you can peel the vinyl decal off without destroying your garage door in the process.

Have you ever had that light switch in your house that you just didn’t know what it did? No matter how often you flipped the switch, you just couldn’t find what the switch turned on.
This hilarious commercial from Nationwide Insurance explores the problem of the unknown light switch—and what it really is for. Unfortunately for the poor old woman in this ad, she finds out what the light switch is the hard way. As the ad says “life comes at you fast” and if your garage door does this, then you’d better call a garage door repairperson fast!
Overconfidence and Pride are Man’s Downfall
It is human nature to find overconfidence that ends in disaster, humor. That garage door, so near and familiar to us, appears to be easy to work with. In reality, it’s usually the house’s largest moving object and therefore ripe for catastrophe (and therefore comedy) when approached without due caution.
Why Do You Always Call the Pros?
Garage doors are complicated pieces of machinery that can easily malfunction when repaired without professional help. Never try to adjust dangerous garage door hardware and definitely never try to work with the electrical parts of your garage door opener! The poor gentlemen in this video found out the hard way that it’s always a good idea to call in a professional garage door mechanic for even the most minor of garage door repairs. If not, you could end with more than just damaged equipment—you could end up in the emergency room. Call Overhead Door Co. of Central Jersey, and save yourself from a potentially shocking experience.
