State Of The Union
Now I know why this country is going to hell in a handbasket. I was at Target today and as I was looking for a new hamper I overheard to young. . .ahem. . .ladies discussing a garbage can. It was one of those where you step on the pedal and the lid opens, except they could not figure that out. They kept arguing over how the garbage can knew to open up for you when you had trash and were convinced that it was broken since the lid would not open when they waved imaginary trash in front of it. When a store associate showed them how to work the garbage can they then complained that that was way too much work to throw something away.
Wow! I don't even know how to react to that.

That story's depressing.
I've lost even more faith in the Ohio education system ...
Now there's pictures on the keys of the register of the food item in those fast-food restaurants so anyone, even utterly illiterate ones can get a job. Don't have to be able to spell burger, just identify the picture. Sad...sad.
Wow.
Stepping on a little pedal is 'too much work'...
Ok, that is kinda depressing, but I still cracked up at the thought of them waving 'imaginary' trash in front of the trash can.
Woman #1: "Maybe it needs new batteries."
Woman #2: "No, we just need to imagine BIGGER trash! It probably didn't notice the first ones!"
You need to post the conversation you overheard, verbatim, and in dialect. Please, please, pretty please?
For that I would need someone who is fluent in the written form of Ebonics
You seemed pretty fluent when you related it to me!
Oh, dear gawd...perhaps you should've notified them of the new Baptist rule about women remaining quiet?? Especially stoooopid women? I'm all for that one myself...;)
