Your point that numbers can be challenging is well made. Very well made, in fact. And you are to be commended for being such an easily satisfied customer. I know that the store clerks appreciate the fact that you are willing to accept whatever part causes them the least amount of inconvenience. Whether it fits or not.

It was a joke, by the way.
As to that, well, not true. I am willing to accept it in dimensions that cause ME the least inconvenience. I don't want to go down there and find that they have cut the part to their lack of understanding of my directions. Case in point, I called a shop and had them cut me out 4.5 feet of hose since they have a cutter and I don't and it was SS brainded hose. What did I get in the bag when I came home? 4 pieces of 1/2 feet hose. Yet I got billed for a stretch of 4.5 feet. That is why I make it easier on them. So it is easier on ME in the end. Call it resignation on my part to bang my head against the wall. Now I have it as easy as I can for them so they can make my life easier. That or teach them how to do their job. No thanx. I am NOT a teacher.
