Default 2 inch, 3 inch, what's the difference?

As some of you may know, I haul our water each week, using a 850 gallon tank on a trailer, that i then gravity drain to a buried cistern (2500 gallons), which in turn supplies the house. Normally 1 load a week suffices.

the tank drains via a 2 inch Cam lock fitting (male), and i have a 15 foot long hose that just barely reaches the cistern inlet. so for a Christmas present to myself, i bought a new 20 foot long hose, with the proper 2 inch female Cam lock fitting.

my package arrived yesterday, and this morning i opened the very large box to find a very nice 3 inch hose..... ummm....that's not going to work boss. wrong size, wrong fitting on one end (male on discharge end, correct female on inlet end).

so back on Amazon to return and reorder the correct one.

the order was clearly for a 2 inch hose, but I guess someone in the warehouse can't tell 2 inches from 3 inches, so i got the wrong hose.

local return place is Kohls. who knew. drag it to them this morning, get a receipt, and the new one (proper one) should be here next week.

so what's your guess, guy or gal packed my order?

From what women say, a 3 inch hose beats a 2 inch hose, but neither one really gets the job done proper like.

A guy packed your order. The three inch was intimidating. If a girl packed it, she'd hang on to the three and give up the two.

I remember when I was a kid and you'd get something, like a billfold, sometimes clothing, and there would be a little slip of paper saying something like, "inspected by # 12." I guess that was the quality control inspector.

Of course, now, most of the things for sale here come from sweatshops in China, Bangladesh, or other shithole countries, so I guess any slips of paper now would say, "made by Shin Shin, age 12."

One side of that paper would have your lucky lottery numbers and the other side would have your fortune
