Ordering a new dishwasher spray arm (2x) has been a wild adventure in customer service. Currently, the rep is trying to sell me 3 spray arms. Even though I need one.

NEW: Doctors mistakenly leave objects in surgery patients at least once every day in an average year, a @Hearst investigation of thousands of cases since 2015 found. This rare but serious medical error has caused injuries and deaths across the U.S. https://t.co/rhSAT05hy4
