One hubcap. ( gotta buy two, in come cases four) Maybe,if you prowl around in a junkyard long enough you might find a matching one.
Those little plastic rollers that brad on to your shower doors that make them go back and forth. ( gotta buy the whole door.)I tried, I asked at my local hardware dealer, his eyes glazed over as soon as I told him my story…he mumbled something about special ordering and excused himself to the back.
One fireplace poker ( gotta by the set, shovel, tongs etc)
A drinking glass. ( set of 6-8 only :))
Ok ok you get the idea…other contributions? Especially the ones that piss you off.
Okay first, I can only eat about 8 inches of the first sub then I am full.
Second, I am single, no boyfriends, no friends that I hang out with regularly for lunch and honestly, outside of very large men, construction workers and families, who actually buys into these promotions?
What about us single people? Huh? How bout giving us half off a 6 inch BMT?
Why are there only 8 or 10 hotdog buns? You buy 12 hotdogs for your family BBQ and you have to buy either 16 buns or 20 (depending on the brand) for 12 hotdogs.
One that really pisses me off, you know the burner covers that you can buy for your oven…they come four in a set, well I always, never fails, turn the burner on with the cover on it. What gives? I only need one replacement, not another set of four.
And how about faucett handles, you always have to buy two, even if only one is broken or leaks.

I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
Drinking glasses!?!? Go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and buy glasses by the each.
Didn’t Cecil do the hotdog/buns thing?
Mine: those tubs of frosting that come with cinnamon rolls.

From an actual catalog: “Disco balls create an enchanting, dazzling effect of light shafts, adding movement and glamour to any occasion” the Abrams’ bris was certainly memorable

I’ve got one. Back when I used to travel by train a lot, I had these in-ear headphones on my walkman. After a while, the cushions on these headphones would wear and tear.
So you go to the HiFi store. And you explain your problem.
Dumbstruck expressions on clerk faces. Manager dragged into it. Storage Manager got involved. After some 20 minutes, a solution was found. Yes, of course I could buy 48 in-ear headphone cushions.
So I did - hey, it was only some USD 4.00 anyway. I will have ample in-ear headphone cushions untill the day I die. Especially taking into account that I never listen to that walkman anymore, since I drive a car now.

Buttons, needles and pins. I usually only need one or two, and then I have packages of things clogging up the place. I’m the opposite of a pack rat, I want to throw everything out.
I just broke the plastic thingie that is in the top of bi-fold doors that slides back and forth in the slotted groove. I’m NOT replacing the whole door, you can’t buy one plastic thingie, so I just used a straight nail driven down through the plastic and glue to hold it in. Hah! They’ll never know the difference…I hope!

You just have to visit “Hubcap City”, a little shack along US Route 1 between Baltimore and D.C. Not only do they have any hubcap you’re looking for, but in the winter the little wooden building is heated by one of those long, cylindrical, flame-spouting space heaters that looks and feels like a jet engine. The fire hazard just adds to the ambiance
uh,oh here comes the wife!
