So, I've been working as an editor for a company that does mystery shopping for the past two years. -- Below are some of the more amusing typos and poor phrasing I've encountered.
My thoughts follow the typo:
The product on the shelves was racing forward. -- People will watch anything race, and probably bet on it too...
The windows were covered with humanity, but were otherwise clean. -- I guess that means they were beyond filthy?
Produce dispensed from each flavor of the frozen beverage machine. -- I think we may have just solved world hunger... that or this place has really terrible slushie flavors...
The used coffee grounds were being immediately deposed. -- Word is the Republic of Tea is moving in...
I purchased the Columbine blend coffee. -- I'm not certain I want to know what went into that blend...
The restroom supplies were adequately shocked. -- Probably by the smell...
The windows were mugged. -- They were in a dark alleyway though, so no surprise there...
The windows were smug. - The drapes were rather humble though...
The employee was properly depressed. - I mean, it was a retail store, so maybe this isn't a typo...
The cookies were fully stocked with beer. -- Those sound like some interesting cookies...
The employee had browning-gray hair. -- I wish my hair was browning...
The employee's name was broiled onto her shirt. -- I prefer mine to be fried on to my shirt personally...
The landscaping was well marinated. -- I'm pretty sure this is not what they mean by backyard bbq...
I purchased nested brisk sweet tea. -- I blame auto-correct for the nested, but brisk and nestea are two completely different brands
The employee was wearing a citronella polo shirt.
The employee was wearing green tea.
The wiring had been neatly sortied. - It seems the war with the machines has begun...
The employee was suggestive. - As Takei would say, Ohhh my.
The wiring under the counters was neatly stewed. - All it needed was a fresh bay leaf and some Worcestershire and it would have been a good meal...
The employee had long blind hair. - Isn't all hair blind?
The coffee got fresh. -- No word on whether it was slapped in response...
The employee's hair was covered by a banana.
I performed a drive by on the location.
I purchased a cane of soda. -- I think i just found my next joke magic item for D&D
The employee had ear-length back hair.
The [male] employee was wearing a black shirt and pantys. -- 1: As George Takei would say "Oh myyy." 2: I'm genuinely surprised that one didn't auto correct.
The owls and other windshield cleaning supplies were stocked. -- I guess that is one definition of clean...
I purchased Nine Lies cat food. - Must be for cats that belong to politicians...
The employee was a multi-colored louse. -- I'm sure that's a health code violation of some kind...
The fountain machines dispensed produce just fine. -- That's a pretty neat trick. Also... ewww...
The employee had brown hair puked up under a hat. - Uh...
(Describing the weather) It was cloying. -- Maybe this person just really hates being outdoors...
The merchandise on the shelves was affronted. -- No word on what set them off...
The employees were treating the costumers politely. -- The makeup artists were getting the short shrift though...
An air horse was available. -- Not sure if this is a mythical animal or just an inflatable kiddie ride...
The walking cooler appeared to be a little bit disheveled. -- Must have had a rough night, especially since he appears to be full of beer...
I purchased an Arizona Ice Team. -- I just wonder which one it was, and I hope he got a good deal.
The mean room smelled. -- The kind rooms were ok though.
The fact food counter was clean. -- No mention of how the opinionated food counter was doing.
The fuel pumps were rust and gnome free. -- I hear de-gnoming can get expensive...
The employee was wearing a gray Moth Face fleece. -- I prefer butterfly faces myself...
The employee was watering a company uniform. -- Must be a home grown company...
Tongs were being used to service the customers. -- Oh my...
I made sure the restroom had been whipped down. -- What did the poor restroom do to you?
The employee was wearing a company vest and sacks. -- I mean I skip laundry day once in awhile too...
The cooking area had no geese spills. -- I want to know what they were cooking here...
There were no seals in the coffee area. -- They've moved on from birds to aquatic animals...
The drunks were neatly stacked. -- Guess they ran out of room in the cell?
The employee had long frowning hair. -- Must have been a bad hair day...
The parking lot was free of potholders. -- Now what am I gonna do if I need to grab something hot...
The employee had a pheasant. - I assume they meant to type pleasant demeanor and somehow forgot an entire word...
The widows were clean and not streaking. -- I should hope so...
The car said, "Thank you. See you soon." -- I think this person just met KITT.
The employee did not make any philanthropic endeavors. -- I do not think that word means what you think it means...
The location had automatic lightning. -- Sounds like an interesting place.
There were no visible odors in the restroom. -- Umm... that is a really really good thing...
The restroom was primadonna toy clean. --I really want to know how autocorrect thought that this is what they meant to type...
She had a blond pony (they were describing her hair). -- Must be trying to start a petting zoo?
There was stool in the janitor's closet. -- One little word makes all the difference...
The floor needed to mope. -- I never realized floors could be so emotional...
The employee had short back hair. -- That's a good thing... I suppose...
The pimps had tape all over them. -- Uh... ok...
The fat food counter was clean and organzied. -- I'm not entirely certain this is actually a typo...
