"so $71.16 total becomes $72.

The restaurant is a bit hectic and there are people waiting. So I ask the cashier "can you take a hundred", and he says "sure." I hand him the $100 and say "just give me back $28 dollars." He says "man your going to make me do math?"

I'll see the cashier one semester of math class and raise the restaurant customer one year of English class

"I have my road test in two weeks I failed my first at Rahway and I am scare know I am going to Baker's Basin please give me some advice or tell me how long the road test takes thanks"



I refrained from providing any advice, as I don't want to encourage this person to be a presence on the highways or on any internet sites...

Even punctuation wouldn't have helped this one:

This was a carryout place but there were tables to eat so we did.

I once saw an ad posted on a bulletin board by a teen who couldn't spell... listing the prices for various numbers of children:

1 babby, or 2 babbys or 3 babbys

And one I remember from a sitcom... a teenager was telling his family about customers at a new restaurant:
"You'll never guess who went there's parents!!"
(He meant 'whose parents went there')
