JoAnn's Suck's

Well, a little bit, anyway. I went over on Sunday for a few notions items, and just about had a stroke walking around the store. All of their store-printed (as opposed to corporate-printed) signs had STUPID MISPLACED APOSTROPHES! As in, Brocade's, Satin's, Linen Blend's, etc. Well, the first few I saw, I actually took out my pen and crossed them out. But as I moved into the rest of the store, I saw that EVERY SINGLE GODDAMNED SIGN they had printed was like that. Since it was Sunday, the manager wasn't around, and while I complained to the check-out person, I don't think she understood my concern. I was practically frothing at the mouth by then, I was so frustrated.

I think I'll print out the "Bob the Angry Flower" comic and send it to them. Rotten illiterate bastards.

Have you read Eats, Shoots, & Leaves? I think you'd enjoy it; I certainly did. :)

I listened to the BBC Radio show that inspired it, but haven't read the whole book yet. Plan to when the library has a copy in!

Hey, Jan, I never got your address (e-mail sent to you bounced), and I wanted to send you something. Poke me at jpallan@gmail.com ?

Weird -- what address was it? My UNH account has been wacky lately (it fills with spam faster than I can empty it), but the others should be all right. I'll mail you from Gmail, though.

You have to carry the fat sharpie because that unnecessary apostrophe disease is contagious! I hope there were no quotation marks used for emphasis. You'd *have* to go back to talk to the manager if there had been.

Luckily, no quotation marks. I think I would have started screaming had that been the case.

LMAO!!! I hate that so much.

Jan, are you sure that those weren't just some highly posessive fabrics claiming the sign boards or perhaps the rack below as their own? The equivalent of those little wine charms for soft goods. Actually, if that were the case, I would really not be interested in having such fabric....who knows what it would try to take over in my house! ROTFLOL
Ah the noble apostrophe. So complicated. Apparently we just can't handle it these day's. <----look! I'm doing it too! I think it's contagious!!!!! Aghhh!

That grumpy Bob cartoon is a riot!
