True story, I went to the hardware store and bought washers (The dia. of a nickle, and 1⁄16 tk. they were 15 cents each) that I needed to mount a range hood over my friends stove.
As it turned out, I needed 6 washers, so the store clerk counted the washers and put them in a bag, and I paid for them and left.
When I got back to my friends house, I was putting up the hood, and when I went to get the last washer, the bag was empty. The clerk only gave me 5! (SOB) The mounting of the washers were hidden and out of sight.
It was a 15 minute drive back to the store, so instead of going back, I took and old nickle drilled a hole in the middle of it and made it into a washer. And it only cost 5 cents.
(it was just as strong as the original washers)
