I’m trying to imagine if I had someone on my list of Friends or Dudes or Chuzzlewits, whatever, and they actually remarked in any manner how much they liked<\/em> an airbrush color cup, how quickly I would delete my account and try to hold back from cutting myself because it made me despair for the future of humans. That I already did this a few years ago (deleting my Facebook account, I mean) is besides the point.<\/p>\n Anyway, they’ve won the Shitass Webdesign of the Week<\/em> award. Congratulations on your complete inability to recognize what use the internet can be to you!<\/p>\n And because they spent more time trying to be popular than accommodating a customer, I won’t be shopping at Michaels ever again – I’ll stick to a place that actually wants business.

Will they tell me how much it costs? No. Can I order it online? No. Can I determine if the store even has it in stock? Don’t be silly. BUT… I can Like it or Pin it or play some remarkably pointless social dipfuckery thing with it, because, you know, that<\/em> will drum up business for them!<\/p>\n![\"paintcup2\"](\"http:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paintcup2.jpg\")
The followup:<\/strong> I found one on eBay, would have been just over five bucks with shipping if<\/em> I didn’t get into a stupid bidding war. The item is worth about two bucks, and six is the maximum I would pay for the damn thing (which, as I would come to find out, is less than half what Michaels wanted for it.) So while waiting for the bid close date to come along, I just made my own, from a brass pipe I had and a plastic cap. Works perfectly.<\/p>\n
