THE GREATEST PEEVE OF ALL

I'LL NAME THE NAMES:  RONA, TIM'BR MART, HOMEDEPOT, WINDSOR PLYWOOD AND ON AND ON AND ON

I HAVE MANY PET PEEVES, BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO GOING TO THE LOCAL RONA, TIM-BR MART, HOMEDEPOT ETC ETC ETC TO BUY A PIECE OF WOOD AND FINDING IT IS TOO SHORT IN WIDTH, AND THICKNESS, BUT THEY ALWAYS MANAGE TO GET THE LENGTH RIGHT.

PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE DAMNED TREE AND HOW MANY PIECES OF WOOD THEY CAN GET OUT OF IT.  OR, HOW THE TREES ARE GETTING SCARCE DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING/ICE AGE/FLUCTUATIONS, GUN CONTROL, AND THE EAST HIMALAYAN PINE AARDVARK.  IF YOU CAN GET THE DAMNED 8 FT SIZE RIGHT, YOU CAN STOP SCREWING US OUT OF THE EXTRA 1/2 INCH IN WIDTH, AND THE 1/4 INCH OFF THE THICKNESS.

OH, AND ANOTHER THING...............CANADA IS FRIGGEN METRIC.  CAN'T YOU GUYS EVEN SCREW US IN  THE RIGHT SYSTEM????? (to 334 decimal places, please)
