or how about when your spending a saturday night into sunday changing out a part on your truck. you went to advanced auto or oreilly etc etc and gave them the part number you wanted a seal for, then confident they gave you the right seal you start your project, you get the part off and drag it to the bench, take it all apart and tear out the old seal in many pieces i might add, get it asll cleaned up and go grab the bag you got, get out the box, open it only to find out it is the wrong seal. this always seems to happen a hour after the store has closed.

I hated it when we spent 6 months looking for a truck in 6 different states (not counting web sites) and finally found one 20 miles away from home.
I hated it when we spent 6 months looking for a truck...etc. and found The One in upstate New York. It was the right price, right options, right color...dealer let us in it and we were happily admiring what was sure to be our new beast when the sales manager comes out with the guy who just bought it 20 minutes ago.
I hated it when we spent 6 months looking for a truck and every one we saw that we liked was in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
We're looking again...

Looking at the spare parts bucket for my truck, and wondering what I forgot to put back on...
Trying to find my Carhartt pants, only to discover I'm wearing them... [/B]

My favorite part is when its the only vehicle you have and you can't get anybody to take you to the parts store because its 25 miles away.
