Whenever I watch one of those trivia gameshows on TV and I know the answer to a question, I always have the mindset of “if I know the answer to this question, there’s no way the contestant doesn’t know it,” even if it’s something most people probably don’t know the answer to. Then, when they get it wrong, I feel like I’d be a better contestant on the show, until I realize that I’d probably get all the questions wrong except that one I just happened to know the answer to.
Interestingly (well, not really), the swf file itself is named “stealing.swf.” Anyway, it’s not so much of an issue in bigger stores, but in stores with very few people in them, it’s always a weird feeling to walk out without buying anything, because then it might seem like I stole something. It’s even more of an issue if I came in to the store holding something that happens to be sold in the store (usually with beverages or something), because then I feel like I have to make it really clear that I already had it before entering without actually telling them directly. Usually by making it very easy to see, because clearly, if I wanted to steal it, I would have hidden it somewhere. Though I guess doing things like that just makes it look suspicious.
Yeah, I don’t really know where I was going with that ending either. But anyway, actual food rarely looks like it does in menu pictures, in good and bad ways (mostly bad). Most of the time the actual food looks worse, but there are occasions when I’ve seen pictures of food that doesn’t make it look that great, but the actual thing is much better. This seems to apply mainly to burgers though (however, “the actual food looks better than the one in the picture” one doesn’t seem to ever apply to fast food restaurants). So basically, uhh… don’t judge a burger by its picture? If it looks really good in the picture, it’s probably not what you’d expect.
I understand the T part, but not the square part. I guess people can use them to draw squares if they want, but it isn’t a square itself. I can’t really find anything about it on the internet either, but maybe it’s something so obvious that it doesn’t need explaining. But I don’t get it.
They might as well say 80%, but that doesn’t seem as great as 4 out of 5, because otherwise it wouldn’t be like “wow, only one person disliked the product!” This statistic is fairly common in commercials and I’m wondering how much of it is actually true (or if they actually interviewed only 5 people). And then we don’t get to hear why the 5th person thinks that way, but I guess that makes sense since it might persuade people not to buy it. And… and yeah, I guess that’s all.
