It gets to all of us at some time or other.

Now try the tap as a milling cutter.

Well...... What`s wrong with that?  :scratch:

It`s an easy enough mistake to make!  :thumbup:

Know the feeling, My worst time is doing the grocery shopping. Since I only need them for real close up reading. It is a Royal pain to wear them as anything a little distance away becomes fuzzy! The have recently started to change the labels. Style colors printing,and decided that smaller printing is better. Combine that with the marketing genius that thinks moving the product from were it been for years. Down the shelf two feet, thinking it will get you buy more if you have to hunt for it  :doh:  :bang: it is very frustrating. And in the shop the poorly labeled or etched drills and taps can be a very big PIA. :scratch:
