Sign Fails

Proofreaders needed!

If a shopper couldn't read, he or she would get the wrong impression of the 3-pack refill wands mentioned in this sign. 

They'd mistakenly think the wands were only worth 3 1/2 stars (count 'em!)

But perhaps the "4.4 star rating" is wrong.

Whatever the truth, this information simply doesn't match. It messes with my head.

When presented with two choices at a waffle shop, I knew instantly which one I'd choose. 

I'd eat savory over sweat any day.

When I pointed the spelling error out to the manager, she was surprised that it didn't say, "sweet."

 

Does correct spelling matter to you?

Weird Shirt

 When someone told me they could never find anything to wear at a thrift store, I thought it was an odd statement.  All you have to do is spend enough time and be willing to make repeat visits to stock your wardrobe.

But then I found this weird shirt. If this is what she saw, then I can imagine why she'd hurry out of the store that didn't carry her style.

It's hard to even take a picture of it to show its real strangeness. It's a short sleeved t-shirt with two long sleeves sticking out of the front at about waist level.

What's that all about? Is it some kind of t-shirt baby carrier where you put the baby's legs in the long sleeves and carry the child against your tummy?

Or are you supposed to wrap the long sleeve parts around your waist and tie them in the back? Or in the front?

Or was it made for someone who has four arms?

What do you think it's for?

Ran Out Of Paint

When I first saw this shirt at the thrift store, I was attracted by the bright red flowers and intense green leaves. I actually considered adding it to my large collection of thrift store t-shirts, even though I don't need any more. Yet this one could possibly be worth shoving some of the others over to make more closet space.

And then I turned it around...

What the HEY? Who didn't finish their job?

That back side was the deciding factor. This shirt was not going home with me. I didn't want to give anyone following me a headache from wondering why there was a colorful butterfly and only outlines of flowers and leaves.

I know, I know, this is one of those artsy intentional designs, like flood pants (meaning ones that are a few inches above the ankle but awkwardly longer than capris...I got teased so much for being tall in public school that wearing pants hovering above my ankles only takes me back to those unpleasant "King Kong Shirley" days. I won't wear them! They're a fashion faux pas in a plot to undermine the confidence of unusually tall people who thought they left their days of teasing behind! But I digress.)

Who thought up the unfinished painted shirt design, anyway? 

Lazy people?

Maybe not. Maybe it's just me and my uneducated design mind. 

Let's find out.

Do you like this shirt?

(Do you like flood pants?)
