Last time I was at Lowe's, one of the things I needed was a set of vinyl miniblinds cut to an odd size. I gave the package to the woman running the cutter and told her I needed them cut to 32 3/8" and she said, "Okay, is that an inside mount?"

I said, "Yes, that's the exact width I need them. I need to replace a set that is on that window now... if you cut this one to 32 3/8" I can slide it right into the mounts that are there.

She cut it, I thanked her, went through checkout with all my stuff, and went home.

I was getting them out of the box and decided to put a tape measure to them... a tape measure that I had in my pocket while at Lowe's.

They were exactly 32 3/4" soooooo... I'm an idiot, too... for not checking them before I left Lowe's.
