Yeah, I've totally been there. I once asked a hardware store guy where to find "the thing that goes on the pipe before the other twisty part" and his blank stare made me want to vanish. Now I just take a picture of the broken piece on my phone and show them, which feels way less stupid. Turns out they love that, because they don't have to play twenty questions with me. It's all about finding the right way to get past the word scramble in your own head.
