Is this all an elaborate mystery shop, or are you actually serious? (Long)

The problem? Almost every last one of the girls in the trial group became pregnant. How? Was it a faulty product? No, they didn't quite catch on to what "orally" meant. Thus, a lot of products will now substitute "orally" with "by the mouth."

There are a limited number of other ways to put pills in your body... I can vaguely see a few thinking it was some sort of odd vaginal-based contraceptive, but most of them? Not even the usual Kentucky stereotypes can make my mind wrap around that idea.

Honestly, I thank AOL for this, then Google just added to it. Got the 'internet training wheels' people addicted to the habit of using the Big Search Box, and never actually LOOKING at the address bar, to the point that...that's how they go to web sites now.

I tell someone to go to www.microsoft.com and they Google it and click on the link. Sigh.

It once took me 15 minutes to walk someone through programming a cell phone All they had to do was enter in THEIR OWN CELL NUMBER, hit OK and repeat. Yet they just couldn't get it. I almost cried after that call.

You have to be careful about the warning labels on things. Not just careful in terms of properly outlining things, but also with the verbiage being used.

Sad, but true. I read an article of a family that purchased a dark brown couch and the label said the color was (insert derogatory term here). Apparently, something was "out of date", aka screwy as hell, with the translation software used in the chinese factory that manufactured the sofa. Needless to say, the family got real bent out of shape and felt it was a personal attack. Can't say I really blame them for being so upset. I mean, it was pretty offensive.

Still, when the mother was quoted as saying family members wouldn't even "sit on that couch" due to what happened, I got a chuckle. I guess I just enjoy misfortune as long as it happens to someone else. Probably why I enjoy this forum.

Sometimes I will use Google to find a companies homepage. I only do that when it is some odd name I hear on an and don't have the exact spelling of it or some similar situation. I have dealt with people who insisted that you MUST put spaces in web addresses like www.the super sales store.com It was my fault when it didn't work. Again I blame AOHell and their "keywords"

May I just say that all of you are SPECTACULAR? After nine straight hours of Black Friday hell, the number of chuckles I've uttered since reading the rest of this thread have 100% made up for it. Thanks to all.

How Odd , I'm on AOHell and my address bar is the big box the search bar is approxamatly 1/5th the size. But then again I think my computer is possesed, (probably by the Demon Murphy).

Pray to Saint Vidicon to deliver you from the mad deamon Murphy and the Imp of the Perverse.

Ma'am. You're not at our website. You're looking at a search engine. Most likely Google. You've typed in [store] or some variation of it into a search toolbar. You need to type [s-t-o-r-e].c-o-m into your ADDRESS bar, which is located near the very, very top of the window that you're looking at.
: Ohh. So I need to type in [store].COM?
: Yes, ma'am. Into your address bar.
: So I type it into Google?
: NO, ma'am. Into your ADDRESS bar. You need to get away from Google entirely. That's where you're having the trouble. Just type [store].com into your ADDRESS bar, at the top of the page.
: Oh, okay! I'll try that, then! (Hangs up).

Oh my god... my mom does that all the time and it bugs me so much!
