Search results in this day and age

This is what I got when I searched for a "food processor" at Dick Smith's website. Unbelievable

Learn to read, (wo)man!

I opened my teacher's evaluation forms today with the same feeling of enthusiasm+fear+hope and was going through the comments in a ridiculous hope to see something on the lines of

"gaurav is so great that he should be rewarded by giving him 20 million dollars and 3 years leave"

or maybe

"gaurav is so bad that he should be gotten rid of by giving him 20 million dollars and 3 years leave"

anyways, I came to this student who gave me a bad rating (not that i am not used to negative feedback :D) Let's call this student "Pat" (I got greeted with a vase by Gunjan, and not in a good way, when I named this character "Harry")

So smarty-pants Pat ticks "strongly disagree" on my teaching evaluation form thinking it's "strongly agree" column. I know that Pat didn't really mean to tick SD since before ticking the dreaded column, Pat commented,

"great lecturer - made it really interesting"

I would have received a 5/5 class feedback if not for Pat.

Pat, before learning C++ and Java, learn to read mate!

sigh...

OMG

I had the pleasure of calling ATO and waiting for just under 20 minutes when a lovely lady picked up the phone and inquired if I am calling the Australian Tax Office; not informing that "this is the ATO"; but inquiring whether I am looking for ATO or not.

Anyways, I wasn't sure if they had my current bank account details so after going through the usual security check, I ask her, is "111-222-333" the account number you have, and she replies in the green :) I, being a nerd, request her if she could repeat the number for me please, to which she replies "Sorry, we are not authorized to give out the account number over the phone". WOW!!!!
