(Note: I am taking a brief hiatus to deal with a personal matter and plus I am currently out of LOLZ anyway. So I'm going to take this opportunity to re-run some previously published items submitted by my mom. I hope you enjoy. -- C)
Hooked on Phonics (May 26, 2009)
Here's my mom again. I think she's starting to like blogging. It's a healthy way to express your frustrations. I'll bet she wishes she'd had a blog when I was a kid, ha ha!! (shaddup) I told her she can chime in whenever she wants so I'll be listing all her contributions under "Carol's Corner". I'm calling it that because I'm an adult now and I can use the given name of my parents if I want to. Now I have to go because I think I hear one of the cats chewing on my wind-up robot dinosaur.
Hey, it's Clark's mom again and I really need to vent. Clark said I could write anytime so I figured that this is the perfect place.
One day last week I need to fill my gas tank. I pull up to the pumps, get out and find a hand printed sign on the pump saying:
Incert credit card exactly like the picture.
What??
A few years back I saw the following sign in the window of another gas station:
No personal checks accepted. No acceptions.
I work in an automotive manufacturing plant and this winter over one of the men's rooms doors was the sign:
Plese wipe feet.
The thing that really bothered me about this one is that I mentioned it to at least two dozen other people and none of them even noticed the spelling. How can you NOT notice it? These things scream out to me when I see them. I guess that both correct spelling and just being observant are now things of the past.
Okay, I feel better now.
