I was furious about something similar too. I am learning home repair though and in a way that I can remember and do for years to come.
Then he told me, he was really angry because I took all the cheese graters. I had no idea....that helped me to put it in perspective.
I decided that cheese was more important than tools and I have found a store in town that is so kind to me when I walk in (cause I am a hopeless mess).
