And, actually, I LOVE hardware stores. Filled with things! That a person with manual dexterity could make into OTHER things! Also, if I actually need something, I get cheerful help from whoever I can track down

Mum and I -- co-owners and co-habitators -- have both reached the stage where neither of us is allowed into a hardware store on our own. For some reason, when it's just one of us going in to get A and B for a handyman job, we come out with P through to Z of other stuff that would be fun/useful/practical/look great/etc.

The logic goes that two of us are better at sales resistance than one, so with both of us, we usually only end up buying A, B, and Y, Z, X.
