Buy anything and read the instructions.
Somebody thinks we are ALL stupid.
And for many of todays youth, yes they are really dunb!
Ask a kid what time it is and they will not give you an answer like 20
of or 10 past, it's always 7:40 or 4:10 (digital, no hands)
If you try to give a kid cashier the coins after he/she already put in
dollar amount and the machine is showing the change, they will have a
breakdown.
The kid that works for me is quite intelligent and his reaction to all
this *stuff* is "retard proofing America."
Just think about some of it. Brail on the mens room door and the fire
alarm! I mean how does a blind man find his way TO the mens room door in
the first place? I'm sure he asks and it told or escorted or does he
really feel his way all over an establishment until he finds the bumps
on the mens room door?
What about road signs? When I was growing up, I was tought to read, I
was never tought "universal symbols" Like I see the sign with a picnic
table under a crooked pine tree all the time but I NEVER saw that real
thing. And a P with a slash thru it...Don't P on the side of this road?
