So, you're a part of something - a sports team, a business association, who knows - and you need supplies. A specific, individual item, in fact. Definite in color, at the least, brand doesn't matter. The entire team/group/organization agreed on this one item, and from how they talk, they make it sound like it exists. Only, when you set out to find it, it's not in any of the stores that they guarantee that it's sold at. In fact, one of the stores they sent you to doesn't even have it in the book to possibly special-order from.
So you drive to several places, perhaps 4, or 6, or 8, seeking out said item because it is very important you find it.
It just doesn't exist.
So you arrive at the next meeting, without said item, and everyone else has it.
Obviously they found the magic source where this item isn't only plenty, but it was really a store dedicated to selling this one rare and unique item, and you weren't told about it - it's a conspiracy.
:lamo This is what I dealt with, today. A few days ago the cheer team decided on 'red - no show socks.' I went to 9 sports and department stores today - no one. NO ONE sells or carries RED NO SHOW SOCKS. Not a single pair.
