I honestly hope no one else got the same idea that I'm complaining, MMM.
I think you're a little too attentive to detail and that most people could pick up the meaning of the things I sad without having to be so verbose. =/ |
I didn't get that you were complaining (whilst it's probably a reasonably coarse generalisation, it helps to view things that way sometimes to simplify things as a starting point)
I agree - it's sooooo hard to work out what they say when you go into a store! (I loved it all the same though).
