Really? The retailers I encounter refuse to stock the sizes that fit a short man. I haven't tried scathing email. Maybe I will.

A third retailer offers free shipping. Go to the website...........no free shipping. Call the phone and they will give me free shipping. Excellent. A pack of 50 throw away brushes. "Do you want the extended warranty with that"? "Excuse me..........they are throw away brushes"!! "Well, I'm obligated to ask you if you want an extended warranty with that"? "Are you completely stupid............do you understand that these are throw away brushes?

"Are you going to continue to be condescending to me?"

"Probably............if you continue to be stupid"

"I'm going to terminate the call"

"Go ahead..........you are the one who wants to sell me the brushes............HD offers similar............I'll just buy it there."


She hangs up.............

No sale for them.
Please tell me you made that up and that that conversation didn't actually happen.

These retailers cater to the morons of society. If you are a step above moron level, they don't want your business.
So where are intelligent humans supposed to shop?
