I used to just jump in the car to go to the store and get a new simple push mower blade. Not now. No one stocks something as simple as a 20" new mower Murray blade with the odd ball can't put the blade on upside down design for stupid people. So, I ordered some. Hurray they are here. I get in the brand-new car I had to buy and start to pull out of the garage. No wait it comes up with an agree to not look at the screen warning and after that the screen is shutting off message comes on and then after that I have to touch it to come back on to shut off the damn shut off the engine every time I stop button. Then the bitch beeps at me the whole time pulling out of the garage since it is tight to get out the narrow door. On to the store.
I go to the order pick up counter and wait my turn. My turn comes and I am told your order fit in the pick-up box so you need to take the code and get it out. Wait what code? Oh, the one they sent you. I only had the order code and had always picked stuff up at the counter. Not today. I will look your code up for you says the courteous employee. Thanks, I replied. Oh, you have two codes. Why I asked, the order was small? Okay will you show me the where and how of the pick-up box? Input the first code and go through the signing screen and nothing happens. Employee says try the second code. Oh boy go through it all again and a door pops open with a box in it. But is the order correct? I open the box to check and a miracle seems to appear since the order is correct. Hurray I am finally heading home with something as simple as mower blades, but I have to go through all the screen as before shit in the car to get on the road again. Now when I get to my hilly neighborhood heading home it is dark. Seems simple but I find out the car new car has some kind of weird fucking headlights that make a low wide pattern. What a shame. The special headlight system can't keep up with the hilly road I live on and is always behind on where it needs to shine. Just why. Finally, I arrived home and began the task of backing into the garage with all its beeping warning shit for the side clearance and the backup clearance.
I sure hope the blades fit.

I had to get them on Amazon. It's some bullshit angled oval openings at the sides thing.

Order them delivered to your house, don't have any of those issues.

Why did you make it so easy world?

Hate to say it, but Amazon.   87% of the time, it’s cheaper and better quality.   100% of the time, more convenient.   Can usually get delivered in one day.  Sometimes, same day, which is bizarre and miraculous.

I used to just order my CopyPasta at ToysRuS, but then they closed down.

Copypasta bullshit again

Why must life be so hard!?



Why must I fail at every attempt at masonry!?!

Could we get another OP who's had a little less caffeine?

You can't just sharpen the old blade?

For only 15 dollars more you can make it as easy as it used to be. If nobody steals it of your porch.

I bend the crap out of the new thinner blades every time one hits something the old ones powered through.

You could and should. Do you volunteer?

I tried to condense it for those with busy lives. It was really harder than I made out. I left out the looking up the part number and online searching along with the ordering and a lot of other stuff.

It's nuts but it's true. I needed some motor oil this week, so I thought I'd get it from a local store if it was remotely competitive.

Amazon's price on 5 quarts of Mobile 1 was $25. Local stores, two were $38 one was $35. Turns out the local Walmart has it at $25 as well.

Usually when I need a part the local store says they have to order it, and it's more expensive, and then I have to go get it from them.
It just doesn't make any sense to buy from them.

I have started to look for online retailers that specialize is stuff and will check their price w/ shipping against amazon,
since amazon has a lot of fakes and returns sold as new. Usually it's the same price or cheaper with the specialty place.

Right?

As I posted I bend them, on small stumps and rocks that grow out of the dirt every year like they are alive or something, now that the blades seem thinner or for some reason easier to bend.
The box when I picked it up was so light I wasn't even sure three of them were in it when I opened it at the store.

Naw, I'm goin' to bed.

It's a hard world after all it's a hard hard world.

Op has a lot of patience, just having to hit the autostop button every time I take my wifes car makes me want to start a thread.

Over 18 years between new cars I never knew.
