Post Your Engrish

[Horndog]

I complained about bad service at a nearby Wendy's to customer support and I speak to this lady on the phone, who is evidently Asian, who says to me, "We're sorry bad for food that make you uncomfortable. Please sit and drive up. Thank you."

I see fast food employment has lowered their standards even more.

Rocker they do that just to annoy us and they are getting paid like 50 cents hour to work for them. Must companys go out of the country from that stuff because they don't want to here us complain

[Horndog]

I sincerely believe that the companies believe that. If there are problems with their services in the United States, if you call to complain, they will outsource complaints to another country or they will hand the phone over to someone who could make someone throw their hands in the air, say "Forget it!" and walk away. Customer satisfaction guaranteed!

dude you are calling to complain at the service at a restaurant that is known to serve low quality food as fast as possible. Did you really think they would care? thats like calling to tell walmart their electronics are cheap.

[Yvhuce]

Some people take their fast food seriously... At least one guy has made it on the Smoking Gun: World's Dumbest Criminals by calling the cops to complain that the burger joint fixed their burger wrong.

[Horndog]

I wouldn't take the fast food seriously if I didn't get food poisoned from it

The lady I told you guys about sent me an e-mail, reporting on the "conditions of importance great" of the restaurant I went to. She writes to me:

"I have reviewed the restaurant. The women are burgers."

That's it. I'm moving to America! Oh wait...

Hark! What transpires? What spectre creeps the ramparts, wailing upon its misfortunate demise? Alas, it be the most doomed of wraiths, the ghost of the English language. Oh, whoa betides all for whom deftness of grammar and faultless spelling measure the true worth of one's thoughts!

[curiositykilledthecat]

I once got chewed out by a lady for asking her "How may I service you" at the drive thru.

"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts." oh, wait, that is the english language - Hmmmm.

ENGLISH IS A STUPID LANGUAGE

Let`s face it, English is a stupid language.

There is no egg in the eggplant.

No ham in the hamburger.

And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.

English muffins were not invented in England.

And French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted.

But if we examine its paradoxes we find that

Quicksand takes you down slowly,

Boxing rings are square

And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don`t fing?

If the plural of tooth is teeth,

Shouldn`t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?

If the teacher taught,

Why didn`t the preacher praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables,

What the heck does a humanitarian eat?

Why do people recite at a play,

Yet play at a recital?

Park on driveways and

Drive on parkways?

How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day

And as cold as hell on another?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy

Of a language where a house can burn up as

It burns down.

And in which you fill in a form,

By filling it out.

And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers.

And it reflects the creativity of the human race.

(Which of course isn`t a race at all)

That is why,

When the stars are out, they are visible

But when the lights are out, they are invisible

And it`s why when I wind up my watch,

It starts.

But when I wind up this poem,

It ends

Everytime that I get someone on a customer service line who I cannot understand well, I do not hesitate to ask for someone who speaks English. I know it sounds bad, but if I cannot understand what they are saying, I'm not listening to them, and most time I have to listen to them.....

I used to get Spanish speaking customers ask for a spanish representative. Irony was one sat next to me and I'd transfer to her and then she'd put them on hold and tell me they just wanted to see if they can get a 'hook up' pbecause she spoke spanish. She used to cuss them out. Language is language, you gotta talk to who you can understand; it's not rude or offensive to ask.

Curt and I saw this before getting on a ride at Lotte World, a korean themepark. It made me laugh

ETA: There was this one too... It was in the train station in Pyeongtaek
