Colin runs the small DIY store in parent’s town. He’s apparently condemned to endlessly sort the infinite number of screw types he sells as he’s always busy with this task whenever I enter. This has also sadly left him little patience with customers.
I had to deal with Colin over a number of weeks as my house had begun to casually fall apart. I know nothing about DIY.
Transaction 1: Raw Plugs
Me: Hello.
Colin: (sorting screws) I’ve lost count.
Me: Do you sell raw plugs for wood?
Colin: No such thing.
Me: I’ve bought them before.
Colin: Not here you haven’t. You’ve been had.
Me: I’m pretty sure I got them at B&Q.
Colin: You bought wooden raw plugs at B&Q?
Me: The raw plugs aren’t wood. They’re designed to go into wood.
Colin: No such thing.
Me: Have you got anything that would work in wood?
Colin: You want raw plugs for wood?
Me: Yes.
Colin: (gesturing toward the rack of raw plugs) Raw plugs. For brick, plasterboard, and if your hammer so pleases, wood.
