There is SO much stupidity these days (yeah, I know, I sound old).
What kills me is when a restaurant has misspellings on its menu. And I am the kind of person who spots them immediately without even looking for them. I mean, you own a restaurant, your MENU is the first thing your customer sees, so the first impression they get is that you are so stupid and careless that you didn't proofread your menu or demand that whomever you paid to do your menu do it right.
Ruben Sandwich--I fear I'm going to be served meat made out of a fat woman, with sauerkraut.
I give some slack to Chinese menus--they are learning an alphabet as well as a language--but I am annoyed with THEM for not hiring a person who speaks clear English to take orders on the phone....
This is not something that was written, but it is related as it falls into the "Sometimes I can't believe people" category.
I was talking to this woman today. She's in her seventies. She told me that she had met some new friends of her daughter's and her daughter's husband's, and they were from Ecuador. Then she leaned in as if she had some really exciting information, and she said, "Do you know that the zero latitude line runs right through Ecuador?" I'm thinking, "Um, yeah..." and then she goes on to say, "And guess what? Ecuador MEANS Equator! That's how it got its name."
What a huge coincidence! What are the odds of the off chance of the equator running through a country where the name of the country means equator. The odd must be astronomical!
Yesterday, while driving past a carpet store, I noticed a sign posted in the window, announcing a, "Remnit Sale". I should add that this was not a crude, home-made sign, but instead was clearly one that was prepared by a, "professional", sign-maker.
It is bad enough for the manager of a carpet store to not know how to spell, "remnant", but for the sign company to have no clue in this regard is simply...mind-boggling.
I know a woman who might be interested in those shoes, as long as her medical insurance covers that type of healing.
Is that some form of alternative medicine?
