O.M.G. … is this a man thing or am I losing my mind?

We have to special order two replacement doors.

I have told our contractor numerous times what type of doors we want. He relays this information to the store rep he orders through.

And while the rep was on track with the living room door for some reason the bedroom door is still a problem.

I gave our contractor the door catalog and circled these three styles.

I texted him this photo from the website.

I specifically described the shape and style of the top window door we want. I gave him everything he needed to order said door which he passed along to the sales rep… so you can imagine my surprise when he emailed me this.

Does that look like the door we wanted?

No, it does not. So a few days later he emailed me this.

Again, it does not… so a few days later he emailed me this.

Okay, we’re getting closer… but this half fan model is a bit old fashioned and not the door that we want.

Help me out here. Am I being unclear… or is this a man thing?

Do all pretty windows look the same to the male eye?

I swear this door will be the death of me. Or at the very least the death of my sanity.

  4. I dunno. Might be a man thing.
    My first husband decided he was going to weed the back garden while I was busy doing something else. He asked me to show him what plants were to be kept. I walked him to a plant I was sure he would mistake for a weed – something called a moonflower that looked like a dandelion on steroids when not in bloom. I pointed directly to the plant and made him look at it while telling him THIS IS NOT A WEED. DON’T PULL IT. He affirmed: It is not a weed – I won’t pull it out of the garden. When I came back to the yard an hour later, guess what? My moonflower was sitting on top of the pile of weeds he had pulled.🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

  5. It’s could be a contractor man thing, he might have selective sight/hearing so if you don’t hit him over the head with the door you want, he isn’t going to get it. Unless you tell your hubs to text him the door you want, then he’ll probably listen, lmao.

  6. It’s a “no sense of design” thing. Also – lazy thing. Also – “no one does that” thing. I heard that one a lot when I was renovating (one house, one apartment) with everything custom. Whatever you do, don’t start banging your head against a wall – you’ll wind up damaging the wall and then it’s another project!

  8. If (according to the saying) Half a loaf is better than none, I’m thinkin’ that Half a fan door may also be better than none — at least, if you could get it for half price due to their incompetence. I suspect hubby would agree. 😀

  9. More like a contractor thing. I witnessed my SIL tell her contractor exactly what interior doors they wanted for the bedrooms in their house that is being built. They ended up with the totally wrong doors that don’t even have a lock on them!
