Took a day off today, not that I really wanted to, but when you find yourself staring at a computer screen watching the same thirty seconds of movie clip over and over and over and over...well, it's a sign you need a break.
So, these are some things, all minor, that I picked up while out and about today. Some made my head hurt. If you've had similar, or have seen similar, please share:
Engrish at its Best. Walked into a chinese restruant to pick up some food for my mum and pop while I was going to be out. Happened to notice two boxes on the counter. One read in big letters. "SMELL" the other had "LURG" written on it. Translation: Small, Large.
Credit Woes later, I decided to eat my dinner at Krystals. The gentleman in front of me was throwing a fit. From the best I can tell, he wanted to pay with a credit card, even though there was a huge sign above the register that said the store didn't accept credit cards. His argument was, Visa was accepted everywhere. (Not here apparently.)
Shopping Cart's Revenge Not sure what started this one off, but as I wandered into one of the malls, I paused to watch a shopping cart slowly meandering down the road. A security guard pulled up beside me and we stood there watching. The cart moved of its own accord, meandring down the path and even seeming to turn to avoid a sign and some traffic before making a bee line for a very expensive brand new mercedes. It hit with enough force to leave a dent. Guard looked at me and grinned. "Door Ding Gnomes at work." He then left. (note, the cart was some 30 feet away from me when I first saw it and moving further away, so no, I couldn't catch it in time)
Mind the Gap Young man in front of me was trying to show off to some very pretty girls. So he was riding the escalator backwards as he chatted them up. At the top of the ride, he was so engrossed with the girls, that he never moved to step off. Feet stopped, he did not. From his cursing, I suspect he has learned newton's law of stupidity: "That for each and every stupid action, there is an equal and opposite painful reaction."
My god, what IS that thing? Personal account here: Decided to buy an energy drink whose can said proudly that it was quote "Engineered for good taste." The flavor was cherry. At least...I think it was cherry. Taking a sip of this drink, instantly I felt my gag reflexes sieze and I proceded to scrunch my face up and make a "Tch!" sound. The stuff was beyond nasty. In fact, it rather tasted like Cough Syrup. Hours later, I still had that taste in my mouth. Good taste my ass.

Damn, I love it when stuff like this happens.
