The hunt for an offset screwdriver

Today I learnt what an offset screwdriver is and how to take the bus!
Well I knew what an offset screwdriver looked like - as I needed one - but I did not know it was called that. It is a screwdriver with a 90-degree bend at the end so you can unscrew things from the back in tight places. I found out that we had a highly rated hardware store near where we live - so I set off to get one, as I had managed to get the kitchen drawer with all utility thingys stuck - so I can't cook or eat. Unfortunately they did not have one, but understood what I meant and found out what it was called. Then they checked all the other stores and found one that had one in stock and reserved it for me. When they realized I was on foot they also told me how to take the bus there and where to get off. Not bad service.
The screwdriver place was in Glover Park and the bus took around 10 minutes. Buses are underrated. They only cost $1 wherever you are going, they have air conditioning and are nice and clean and you get a seat. Glower Park is great, between Tenleytown and Georgetown. There are lots of bars and restaurants. If you come to visit we might take you there.
Now let's see if the screwdriver make my problem a fixable problem.
