Today I went to a shopping center to replace a trampoline three times.

It was due to the warehouse workers' error.

• The first time they game me an incomplete item
• The second time they gave me the wrong item.
• The third time was the charm, and everything worked out.

Driving three times back and forth took me close to two hours.

I was pissed. I tried to constrain myself, but my family felt that I was on a short nervous trigger for a few hours afterward.

Time, for me, is a precious resource as it is for many.

It was hard for me to believe that such inefficiencies are still happening in modern countries and modern shopping centers.

In the end, I guess it is not totally surprising. I probably haven't run into many cases like this; that is why it was shocking to me.
