No kettle is so crooked you can't find a lid to fit it.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
A lousy carpenter will always blame his tools.
If all you have in hand is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone."

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.
