I dunno, I sort of sympathize...
I get so irritated when I go to places where they have two sizes, medium and large. What’s with that???
This one is smaller than that one. Call the former small and the latter large. There can only be a medium size if there are three sizes.
Why is that so hard for people to understand?
Arrrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!
Pure psychology...it’s easier to get you to upgrade from a medium than it is from a small.
You should go to lunch with a bunch of copyeditors sometime and watch them tear the menu apart. “What is risotto doing under pasta?” “Why is Appetizers in English and Dolci in Italian?” “It’s egglplant parmigiana, not eggplant parmesan.” “Fish and Seafood? Isn’t that a category mistake?” “Pepperoncini??!! With two p’s???!!!”
By the time you get your food, it’s time to go back to the office.
Small is the free paper cup you get if you ask for “tap water”
