Hahaha... I love hardware runs. They always turn out interesting, no matter how "normal" we try and make it. For example:
Lowes Hardware store is infamous on our team for hiring people NOT on a basis of hardware knowledge. Anyways, I can't find whatever I'm looking for at Home Depot, so I go to Lowes (literally right across the street). I go in there looking for... I think it was some welding coil. Anyways, I go in, look for it, can't find it, and go to ask someone. I find this lady and ask for her for what I need, she proceeds to call EVERY on duty employee to ask if they had it, despite hearing NO from every employee she talked to. So she finally decides to call another local store, even though I keep telling her "oh that's ok" "no thanks" etc. She says "oh, they'll reserve one for you at the other store on (SOMETHING) street. So I proceed to thank her and everything, saying I'll drive over there now.
Needless to say I left the store and went straight back to the build site
Or even the time when the other girl I brought with me decided we needed to go through the self-check out dealie... IN SPANISH. Now, I take Japanese, and she thinks she knows Spanish pretty well. She was wrong. And it was a pain in the arse, despite a riot of laughter.
