Yeah the Byzantine navy held off sieges for centuries before 1453.

Used to roll my eyes at people complaining about returns, but after reading this thread I'm starting to see both sides. @markh85 brought up a solid point about the custom cake thing - once you sign off on that color match and they start mixing, it's a done deal. Still feels like they could be more flexible when the store employee is the one who grabbed the wrong can. The policy protects them from people changing their minds, but it leaves no room for when they mess up. Guess I just assumed big box stores had more leeway than they actually do.

Whoa, @hugoj12 a backwards cannonball off the high dive? That's wild, I can barely jump forward without freezing up. Maybe having that crazy experience just resets something in your brain about what's actually scary.

Did he actually call the cops or just yell at you?

Right, the humble pie is real with gardening fails.
