Changing Light Bulbs

I dont understand, its just so strange that for a self-profess lighting-freak, I could literally screw-up a purchase of 5 screw-in base light bulbs!!!! ( i could heard someone bursting into laughter now...)

Actual shopping list
1. Three 60W big screw-in base fluorescent light bulbs
2. Two 25W small screw-in base fluorescent light bulbs

and I end up with ...
1. Three 40W small screw-in base bulbs
2. Two 60W small screw-in bulbs

but then again, the more I think about it, I reckon it wasnt my fault after all, I mean, when I walked in to the shop, it was eeriely empty, safe for a football-team of staff having their assess grilled by this jumbo-size lady boss of theirs (i guess ... she was after all the only one seated). Of coz, with their ass on fire, I wouldnt be expecting any sort of humane interaction from them. Heck I had to brace myself just to walk pass them to the bulbs aisle ... gosh it was like approaching the Red Sea just before it was parted!!!

So not only was i deprieved of some sort expert-customer-service shit, I was emotionally-pressured and intimated!!! so stop asking how many men does it take to change a light bulb, instead ... ask how many men does it take to BUY a light bulb!!!!
