I worked at a bookshop before I had kids and once made a spelling mistake on a sign for the counter. OMG, the sh!t I got from customers about it! It was only up for about 10 minutes and almost every customer I served in that time felt the need to say "You work in a bookshop, how could you get that wrong!" LOL, oh the shame!
Needless to say, I have never made that particular spelling mistake again!]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:22:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23579&PID=582466&title=pet-hate#582466 <![CDATA[Pet Hate! : It looks so wrong!!! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23579&PID=582434&title=pet-hate#582434 Author: pomikiwi

This is my fave from there at the moment but unfortunately none left in DH's size - otherwise he'd be getting it for next Christmas.

I can't believe those people twinked the apostrophe out Charly - you'd think they'd go and check and realise their mistake.

I just told my friend who works at Whitcolls who laughed at it at well and said they have stupid people in Marketing. She is going to look at it tomorrow (if she goes in to work) and then ring marketing and give them schite.

You know me all too well, my love
However, I was tempted. But having worked in retail since I was 15 I could just hear the conversations that poor staff member would be having around her dinner table that night

There was a sign down the road from me once - missing an apostrophe.
So I took the dog for a walk, with a vivid pen, and added it.
The following morning they had twinked out the apostrophe!!

And I love that t-shirt!

I would have told them - I'm like you Charly.

My current hate is this teeshirt that DH got for Christmas.

OK, so call me anal retentive - but one of my hobbies is finding spelling/grammatical errors in signs (not that I'm always perfect, however).

This one just takes the cake.
I found it in Whitcoulls.....of all places...
And in the children's section no less..
