No matter who you are, where you came from, or what your goal is, you will one day find yourself wandering down the extremely tall aisles of a Home Depot looking for something stupid. As everyone knows, the way to find something in a giant hardware store is to decide on the most likely location of that item, make a B-line for that aisle, not find the item, decide on a secondary location, not find it there either, go back to the first location, consider asking for help, and then remind yourself "of course not." So you keep looking until you eventually cave and ask an employee, to which that employee will invariably say that they used to stock it but just recently ran out of that thing. It is the way of the hardware store trip, and it's an absolute blast.
Hardware stores are great. Where else can you find the twistiest boards imaginable? Where else can you wait in the paint section for twenty minutes without seeing a single soul? Where else on this planet can you walk by a wall of screws and be reminded of every other project that you're actively putting off? What a magical place.
