Thread: My propensity for buying faulty goods continues.

My favourite shop in the world is the bolt shop. Where a person will spend half an hour looking for a tiny bag of nuts/bolts/washers for you and charge you $3.2. Mean while that tiny bag of hardware would be $28 at hammerbarn once you'd find them. The blister pack tax.
