So now that you've painted four walls and a ceiling, and had to cut off a little bit of hair because there might have been light purple paint on it and the stylist said what were you painting? and you said damn i thought i got it all and he said nope, and from there you were talking about trading spaces and how you both miss vern, but anyway, now you've painted four walls and a ceiling and a nice darker purple accent stripe near the top only since you've got a highly textured ceiling it's damn hard to get a straight line of paint along the top of the wall and the ceiling, especially in the corners, but anyway, now you've painted four walls and a ceiling and a nice darker purple accent stripe and the door and the window and all the trim, and it's all pretty and gorgeous and goes together well as long as you don't look down, so you call the handy-friend and he comes and helps you put the floor in and you all go have sushi. Only that happened already. So now there's four walls, a ceiling, and a floor. So the switch plates and the bath accessorys - the chromey thing that sticks between the tub and the ceiling and the shower curtain and really that might be about it - they go up. And now, now, finally, you're ready for a new vanity and toilet and vanity top and faucet and medicine cabinet with lights and a mirror and toilet. So you go to the store and spend huge wads of cash and you bring all your stuff home and the vanity looks beautiful.

And then you put the vanity top - which states explicitly on the box that it fits this vanity - on the vanity - which states explicitly on the box that it fits this vanity top - and they don't fit.

And you go into minor conniptions.

And the people at Lowes treat you like a crazy person - and the people at Home Depot treat you with pity because you accidentally shopped at Lowes and their stuff is shoddy, and it's perfectly fine, it shouldn't happen like that, no, but it's okay, you're not crazy, you can fix it like this, or like this, or like this, or like this, or like this, and they explain everything and are very helpful. Go home depot!

Only you're frustrated and you don't fix it just yet.
