At work, we get a lot of email from customers. There’s a department devoted to handling it, and they send out a weekly report with the top and bottom rated items, along with customer comments.
I read the following in this week’s report. The only thing I edited is the woman’s name and address.
Get ready.

Don’t you love it? Me too. So being the smart ass that I am, I sent an email to a few like-minded co-workers. The string that followed had me laughing out loud at my computer. The subject line was “wtf??”
Jean: Some of our customer comments just kill me. But, to be fair, I too hate it when my sweater gets all link ball.
Meghan: What’s a comparement?
Alexis: Wow. Can we please pass some sort of code that says you can only leave a comment if you passed third grade English?
KT: NOTHING MAKE ME YELL like a link ball sweater.
Linda: LOL!!! That was funny. But seriously – WTF?
Jenn: Meghan - Maybe it’s the opposite of “compliments”? I can’t stop laughing. That’s just nuts. Why is every single verb either misspelled or in the wrong tense? Don’t they teach grammar in Charlotte NC ?
I don’t know, maybe you had to be here. But "NOTHING MAKE ME YELL like a link ball sweater" has had me laughing all day.
