Man Just 17 Home Depot Trips Away From Purchasing Correct Light Bulbs

FORT BEND, IN — After picking up a new pack of bulbs for the kitchen light fixture, local man Kyle Stephens was just 17 more trips to Home Depot away from having the correct light bulbs.

Stephens quickly discovered that the bulbs he purchased had the wrong base, and so drove back to Home Depot for an exchange, bringing the number of trips before he had the right bulbs down to 16.

“Welp, that should do it,” proclaimed Stephens, screwing in the new bulb. “Aw man, that’s not the right color! I was sure it was “soft white”, not “warm white”. Oh, well. Just over a dozen more tries won’t be too bad. Back to Home Depot.”

As Stephens would quickly discover, “warm white” was also the incorrect shade, and thus he returned again to Home Depot. The next set of “daylight” bulbs proved to have the incorrect number of lumens, searing his retinas. The bulbs that followed appeared to have the correct brightness and shade, but were the wrong size. Confident he now knew all the variables, Stephens was just 13 trips away from success.

At publishing time, Stephens had been seen putting $70 of gas into his car as he made his way back to Home Depot for another set of $10 bulbs.
