Grrr

Well, I woke up chipper and disgustingly perky this morning, and then I went to Lowe's. I wanted to get the Bug Off Instant Screen Door for the back door so we can keep it open in the spring without the mosquitos swarming in and attacking my roommate en masse.

I checked online to see if they had it and then headed down. I ended up waiting 15 minutes in the door section for someone to come help me, and when someone finally did show up he was not even from that department, he was from the garden department. He had absolutely no clue what I was talking about and kept pointing at random doors and asking if that's what I wanted. I kept explaining what I need by name and description and offering to show it to him on their website.

He finally called a manager who goes through the whole process again, and then looked in their catalogue (finally) and saw that they should have 3 in stock. Of course, neither of them has heard of what I'm looking for, and they don't know what the packaging looks like, and they spend another 15 minutes wandering down aisles looking for it. Garden guy also called another store which had the screen to have them describe the packaging to him.

Some other guy showed up and knew exactly what I was looking for and led us right to it (right on the end of an aisle in the door section) but it was the wrong size. At this point (at least 45 minutes from when I started looking for someone to help me) the guy who actually works in the department showed up and told me that they don't have it in, the computer inventory is wrong. Argh!

I left the store in a really pissy mood, came home, and bought a brand new Bug Off screen door on eBay for half the price.

This day had better get better.
