Trying to build up a wheelset this afternoon (it has to be this afternoon) and the spastics at my LBS have sold me spokes that are 2-3 mm too short, according to all the spoke calcs I've used.
I have given up 3/4 of the way through lacing the first wheel, it has taken me ages and a considerable amount of blood, sweat and HTFU. Now I'm going to have to ride over there for the 3rd time today, and get some new spokes. FFS. FFS. FFS! I'm going to poke the guy in the eye, with the threaded end of one of his own inadequate spokes.
