Looking Smart at the Gas Pumps

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Have you ever drove up to the pumps only to find out your gas tank was on the other side?

Apparantly, the auto manufacturers made it easy for us….only thing is, they forgot to mention it! Or maybe I was away that day.

Gas Gauge

If you look closely at the little pump on your dash, it will show you which side the fill is on. The gauge above is telling us to pull up so the right side of your car is closest to the pump.

…I never knew! Please tell me I’m not the only one!

The Power of Grammar

I hope I spelled that right ;)

Punctuation requires precise location in order for a sentence to read as intended. For example:

Let’s eat, Grandpa! and Let’s eat Grandpa!

Which do you think Grandpa would prefer?

That one reminds me of “The Land Before Time” where they sing about having friends for dinner. yum!

A very nice seller offers the following:

100% polyester, feels kinda like Satan.

I’m quite certain Satan isn’t made from polyester but the capital “S” really made me wonder…

Now I know I’ve made my fair share of errors and it’s really embarrassing when you’ve already hit the “send” button and can’t take it back.

Share your faux pas. I’d love to hear!
