That's misleading!

What about everybody's favorite: That's ridiculous.

When i was in high school i worked in a clothing store and every 3 weeks or so they'd run a promotion: buy 1 get 1 50% off socks.

I SWEAR that 75% people would tell me they were buy 1 get 1 FREE.

The sale never ever changed. And i would correct them and tell them it was only buy1 get 1 50% and they'd scream and moan until i went over and "CHECKED" The sign. I "checked" that sign SO many times over the course of a year I wanted to tape it to my forehead!"

And then when I "checked" they wouldn't believe me and they'd walk back down there with me.

Drove me CRAZY. Because somehow, somehow once they finally admitted that they were wrong (if they did at all), it was because the sign was misleading somehow!?

And another response we all love: "Well I didn't know that"

Can't return something 12 months later without a receipt? Well I didn't know that!

Can't tear open boxes on the sales floor and half assemble something you have no intention of buying? Well I didn't know that!

It's 10 'o freaking clock at night and you've been closed for half an hour already and you need me to leave? Well I didn't know that!

One I read elsewhere here: "That's NOT Fair!"

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Hey, had to be quoted. I've Said that, accent intact, to friends who start raising a stink. never has failed yet to defuse them.

Might be the implied comparison to a short nasally man.

And knowing is half the battle!

Oh yes, i've noticed people doing the whole "But it was at (similar item) location and it said it was that price" bit...

but for me the topper was a guy who tried returning a movie that he thought was the new friday the 13th, but was instead a documentary on it. His immortal words upon me telling him that the box does explain that it is a documentary was "Normal people don't have time to read the box." Also, apparently it was our job to post a sign that it was a documentary and "not the real movie."

I hate "That's false advertising!"

It was fun when I was at the grocery store with my fiance and someone in front of us was pitching a fit about some obvious sale (like buy one get one 50% off and they though it was buy one get one free). They said it was false advertising, and he told them that as someone who spends his days writing the words in ads, in his professional opinion it was not false advertising. That got quite the cat butt face but it shut her up and we finally got to check out and leave.

I made the mistake of thinking "White death" was a shark attack movie instead of a documentary. But I was only nine.
