Seems as though every time I get a really good idea you get to sit there and read about it. The latest greatest good idea occurred yesterday when we were heading out to choose bathroom tile. It was raining serious and I told the Magster I didn’t want to haul and unload in this. The dissapointment was huge, she likes buying stuff for the fixer upper and don’t like sitting around while its raining, and so I thought….….. ” Lets go down to Lowes, we can purchase them and they can have em ready for me to haul away first thing in the morning” Great Idea she says and so off we go and ended up choosing the same tiles as the rest of the house…….only in two different smaller sizes.
Bright and early there I am to pick up my box of 52 6×6 Camel Porcelain and my eleven boxes of 13×13 Camel Porcelain and the guy wheels out a pallet with a box of 52 6×6 Tawny Porcelain and ten boxes of 13×13 Tawny Porcelain.
“These are the wrong tiles” I said
“No Sir, says right here on the invoice….one box of 52 6×6 Tawny and ten boxes of 13×13 Equinox”
“Well for a start these are all Tawny and even if some were Equinox they’d be wrong because I purchased Camel.”
“Must be a mistake Sir, ….camel you say? ……and as this irritating shit is an endless way of life I permited it to rapidly crawl under my skin…..
” Yes camel, KA Mel….camel….kinda like a dromedary only different” and this little out burst only confused things more because he then laid claim that they don’t sell camel.
“Do Too….I just laid a thousand sq feet of em and purchased em right here ” well it was decided that the best thing to do would be to go to customer service and get a refund and start all over again….which I did. After my new order was put together under my helpfull scrutiny I then ended up at the checkout where I then had to mention……
“Yesterday I purchased my order with a $25.00 off coupon……you charged me too much”
” Sir, this is a new purchase…….you need another coupon”
“Then I might suggest you get the manager to bring me one right now because Buddy….you are about ready to witness one truly serious wig out”
didn’t get to set a tile till noon
