Just for ****s and grins I wrote a letter to HF and taped a couple
of the unthreaded nuts to it. I described the problem and explained
that I assumed the threads were on backorder and asked when they
expected to ship them to me. I wasn't sure what that would get me,
but figured someone might get a laugh out of it and maybe send me
another box of fasteners. Unfortunatly, my letter was answered by
some ditzy woman with no
sense of humor because I all I got was a letter from her saying my
complaint exceeded their allowable time limit for returns and there
was nothing they could do about it now.

I had sold three gross of wood handle wire brushes to a good
customer, the order called for "Handle Holes" to be drilled in the
ends of the brushes for hanging them up. Somehow we forgot to do the
holes. The customer faxed us stating the problem so I shipped them
an empty box labeled: "432 ea. 5/16" Handle Holes". They sent the
box back stating on the packing list that they were the wrong size
holes.

Any hole is the right size hole for me!

I'm not sure I'd cop to such a shortcoming.
