Home Depot monkey lad..

[JShadzi@aol.com]

    I went to the local Home Depot today to pick up a metric bolt.  After 
initial inspection yielded nothing, I asked a 40 something year old gentleman 
where the metric hardware was.  He replied, "oh, what do they look like?"  !  
I replied that metric hardware looked like regular hardware, but used a 
different measuring system used by most of the rest of the world.  By this 
point he seemed really confused, and I was getting snipity so I left to a 
smaller local hardware store.  Now I'm wondering why the US keeps floundering 
on changing to metric!
