Are you ever just confused?

I know I am. Feel free to vent your confusion in this thread and hopefully someone will be able to help make you less confused.

I've nominated myself as President of "Club Confused" and Rat as Vice President. I'm sure we could use some other committee people though. The more the merrier, right?

Now, on to the first order of confused business...

Why do those gorram little tags under the mattress say it's illegal to remove? If you ask me the mattress companies are just asking for trouble by having them there. People like to do what they aren't allowed to.

You want confused? Try putting together a piece of furniture when the instructions are written by some guy in China who had an English dictionary shown to him once in the 3rd grade.

You should buy your furniture from IKEA. Most of it is made in Sweden, or some other cold northern land. All of the instructions are completely graphical, no words at all, and actually quite easy to follow.

I mean, I've put together one bed and two DVD cases, so you know it's easy and very not-confusing-making.

I totally agree. I've put together a bed, a dresser, a bookcase, and two end tables. I didn't even have any leftover parts! And the bed has been tested to withstand force.

IKEA is wonderful. Easy to put together and very durable. Definitely KaySky approved!

actually, from the odd news department, ikea is being sued by someone for "gender biased" instruction manuals because they only show men putting together furniture and not women implying that women are unable to put together furniture.

as for the mattress tags, i thought that was only for the retailers and that once the mattress is purchased, you can rip the tag off any way you like.

here is my contribution to the thread:
why do gas stations do the 9/10 of a cent thing? i would imagine that most people are not stupid enough to be taken in my this little ploy. just round it up for crying out loud!

Well, Friday night is pizza night in my household, so I hope that helps. And in reference to the mattress tags, I guess the good old USA just doesn't know how to have fun. Maybe I should consider moving. England sounds like fun.

Road signs: one of my favorites is on the way to a friends house way up in the mountains -- the sign at the turn off says: "Dead End for Two Miles". And then what? Funny thing is, there's a cemetary right at the beginning of the road and I think it'd be better to say "Dead End, but Keep Going".

Business signs: "Accurate Bookeeping". I sure as hell hope so.

Menu items: I love to read translations when travelling. My favorite while in Greece: "Intestines in Spit". Oh my god.
