OK, get ready to write your congressman on this one.
Last fall I bought a new sponge mop at Target. Today I went to buy a new spongehead for it. When I can't find one and ask, they say "oh, we don't cary that kind anymore." I ended up buying a whole new mop (and half a dozen replacement sponges.)
This really irks me. Should there not be a law that, if a store sells mops, it must carry the replacement parts for, oh say, five years after they cease carrying the full mop? Go with me on this, people.
On second thought, I am now approximately 40 and two weeks. Is this the start of being a crotchety old man?
The real problem here might be that I am being asked to fill a domestic role. Men cause these problems (because businesses are run by guys, right?) but women put up with them. If there were a few more male shoppers out there, our experience would be vastly improved.
Since I have to drive to Indy this morning, I get to experience one of life's other clusterfucks - summer road construction. $238 billion sure buys a lot of traffic cones, doesn't it?

Yes, you are starting to become a crotchety old bastard. So it's good that I stopped by with a personal invitation to join the Geezers group, you should fit in fine. You grumpy fuck...
