What Kind of Finish Do You Want?

This past weekend, my roommates and I went to Home Depot to buy paint for our new apartment. We spent a total of four hours getting paint. I learned that painting is a very scientific process. It's also not cheap.

Me: I need...this color. *hands him color card*
Worker: Okay, we need the actual paint.
Me: Oh, yeah...here. *hands him a gallon of paint*
Worker: This is the wrong brand.
Me: Oh. I don't know then.

The worker then leads me to another aisle to face more paint. HONESTLY? REALLY?! THEY LOOK THE SAME!

Worker: What kind of finish do you want?
Me: Oh, well I mean...I guess dry. That's the only way it should finish right?
Worker: ...............Well, yeah. But....what kind of finish do you want? Flat? Eggshell? Semi-glass? High gloss?

NOW BEFORE YOU ALL JUDGE ME, I SWEAR I WAS NOT TRYING TO BE A COMPLETE IDIOT. I don't know what I was thinking. Okay, I wasn't thinking. I was just hungry.

Not that any of you care, but I got eggshell. In sunflower yellow. It looks like a school bus sharted in my room.
