Hand Holding Fail
Methyl: I need a kitchen faucet to garden hose adapter.
Nursery Guy: Uh?
Methyl: Faucet . . . garden hose.
Nurserey Guy: So just the adapter.
Methyl: Yeah, I've looked at these three other stores--
NG: You're wasting your time.
Methyl: So do you have one?
NG: No. It's VERY SPECIALIZED. You need to go to Super Special Irrigation Store. The manager will hold your hand.
Methyl: Really? It doesn't seem very specialized to me.
NG: Well, the threads . . . it'll probably have to be at least two adapters together, but don't worry, the manager will hold your hand.
Methyl: . . . thanks.
*Methyl promptly goes home and orders one of the many faucet to garden hose adapters off of amazon*
Yeah. Don't patronize the experimental scientist who had ransacked the lab to get good slip-joint pliers to get the stupid stuck aerator off the faucet. Yeah.
In other news, Methyl has almost jumped through another Flaming Hoop of Doom on the road to the phd. Methyl also edited the next story chapter, save for one fail-sentence, and will send it back to the beta again to fix whatever I broke. :p
