    Got hit with a classic as we were getting into the car this morning...

    Her: Oh there it is
    Me: There what is?
    Her: My credit card
    Me: What? You couldn’t find your credit card?
    Her: No, but I knew it was probably in the car
    Me: How long was it lost?
    Her: Only like two or three weeks
    Me: You lost a credit card for two or three weeks and didn’t tell me or cancel it?
    Her: I knew I would find it
    Me: I don’t even know where to begin with that
    Her: Don’t worry...it’s one of my New Years resolutions
    Me: To not lose credit cards? So this happens regularly?
    Her: ....

    Blows my mind that there are people who don't put their card back in their wallet/purse/whatever immediately after using it. Only way I could lose a CC is to lose my whole wallet

    my wife came home with a new iphone case that has a pocket for a card or drivers license. I told her the pocket was pretty flimsy so she'd probably lose her card if she used it.

    three days later ... guess who's drivers license is lost

    Kevin and I have entered the contentious email correspondence phase of the negotiations, and I'm currently entertaining myself on a Monday morning. I actually forgot about this and emailed him just before Christmas.

    Hi Kevin,

    Any update on this??

    I have to have my hardwood floors refinished to remove the paint. Should I have them send the bill directly to you, or is there another department that would handle payment?

    Thank you,


    Hi,
    I have offered to take a look at receipts for cleaning products that were purchased in addition to the cleaning products previously sent to you, however, this is the extent of what we will provide for this claim. The can was punctured by a tool due to user error, and was not caused by a manufactured defect with the product. I am very sorry that this happened, and I want to help, however, we will not compensate for replacement or refinishing of floors with this claim. If you would like to try lightly sanding the hardwood floors with 220 grit sandpaper to remove the paint from the affected area, I would be happy to send some of our Varathane polyurethane to help repair the sanded area. I can help you with the steps to sand and refinish the affected portion of the floor as well. Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you,
    Kevin Fisher


    Kevin,

    Thank you for the response. I do appreciate the cleaning products that were sent, however they were ineffective at removing the paint. I did purchase a bottle of goo gone, but I don’t have the receipt and it’s not that big a deal, it was $8 or whatever. My bigger concern is, obviously, the damage to hardwood floors and walls that need to be refinished/repainted.

    To clarify, the can was punctured by a slotted screwdriver. The instructions specifically say to use a slotted screwdriver to pry the lid off, correct?

    Thank you


    Sir,
    The instructions do state to use a screwdriver; inserting into the slot and rotating, which will not cause damage to the can. This lid and instructions have been used widely for many years without such incident. We had previously established that the screwdriver had been used improperly, resulting in the puncturing of the can, and inspection confirmed this.

    While we will not consider costs to refinish any surfaces, I can offer the polyurethane to coat the floor once the paint has been removed by lightly sanding. Also, I would be happy to send you primer to apply over the section of wall prior to repainting.

    Thank you,
    Kevin Fisher


    Kevin,

    Correct, I just wanted to clarify that when you said “The can was punctured by a tool”, we agree that the tool used was the exact tool required to open the can, a flat head screwdriver.

    Which slot do the instructions say to insert the screwdriver into?? A slot is a “long, narrow aperture or slit for something to be inserted.” You are telling me you are differentiating between which of these is a slot? That you can very clearly, without question say one is a slot and one is not?

    [​IMG]




    Sir,
    Based on the photo provided, the upper identified portion of the can is an empty space, where a screwdriver will fit. The lower portion is clearly a part of the can itself, specifically the metal seam. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thank you,
    Kevin Fisher


    Kevin,

    The question is whether each of those areas qualifies as a “slot”? And they obviously both do. And which of those slots do the instructions say to insert the screwdriver into? Or do the instructions fail to clarify that, leaving it open to interpretation?

    To be clear, I’m not asking what the intended method of opening the can is. You and I both clearly understand that the upper, open slot is where you intend to instruct people to insert the screwdriver into and rotate, prying the lid off. We agree, and that’s how you and I would have opened this can (technically I would have tried to open the can this way, the lid would have buckled instead of prying off, like it always does, and I would have ripped the lid off, but for the purpose of this discussion let’s pretend like it pries off as intended)

    However, if you gave those instructions to someone who had never opened a can of spray paint before, would those instructions be clear to them? Could they interpret the vague instructions as thinking the slot intended for the screwdriver to be inserted was the LOWER slot? The obvious answer here is yes. If you disagree I can resend the pictures of paint all over my house that indicate otherwise.

    You have to admit these instructions leave some room for interpretation, right? “To open insert screwdriver in slot & rotate”. That is technically what she did. Now, of course, you are saying she inserted the screwdriver into the wrong slot, and you add further instructions, like, “the upper identified portion of the can is an empty space, where a screwdriver will fit”. Your clarification demonstrates that the instructions on the can are vague and require further explanation. The instructions on the can should clarify, like you did, where exactly to insert the screwdriver. Agreed?

    [​IMG]


    Sir,
    The inspection of the can did not reveal a puncture of the can from rotation of a screwdriver, but rather a forceful prying motion, causing the edge of the screwdriver to drive into the can, resulting in puncture. I am sorry that this occurred, and I have stated what Rust-Oleum can do to help and assist with the clean-up. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thank you,
    Kevin Fisher



    Kevin,

    I’m sorry, what?? A forceful prying motion? Like if you were to insert a flat head screwdriver into a slot and twist??


    You asked me if I had any further questions, and I did. Please address those questions:

    Looks like they need to accept the design flaw, pay entirely for your cleanup, and re-design the lid to make it fool-proof. Like, it shouldn't even be an option to pry the seem off.

    Common sense tells us to pry the lid off via the gap, buttttt common sense isn't so common anymore. This is a classic case of a lawsuit victory over tiny details, ie suing McDonalds over hot coffee, or a toy maker for an injury to a toddler.
