Freck.

I've ordered some empty spice jars. They were hard enough to find to begin with, and I thought I finally struck gold: exactly the right size for my spice rack.

Today the package arrived, and the jars didn't fit. The specs said 5.5cm in diameter. They taper from bottom to top and some idiot measured the thinnest part at the top instead of the widest, wich is 6.4mm. (The opening is 4.8cm, actually.) As the rack is 5.6cm wide, those jars aren't going to work.

So now I have to take time out and pay for an extra bus fare to send the entire package back again because some people can't measure.
