WalkedUp Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I went to the pharmacy yesterday to get a new dressing for my burn wound. The pharmacist was European with ESL. She asked: “What size dressing do you need?” Me: “About 3 inches by 3 inches” Pharmacist: *stares blankly at me* Me: “Ok, 75mm by 75mm” Pharmacist: *Continues to look blankly and then checks the computer* ”No, they don’t have any that size. I am sorry Sir, these are only available in 7.5cm by 7.5cm” Me: 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Most cars and planes are designed using a CAD system called CATIA. I was called by a hiring agency woman looking for designers and she asked me if I knew CAT 1 A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Meanwhile in a chemist's shop in Sweden. Customer. "Do you sell personal deodorant?" Assistant. "Yes. Ball or aerosol?" All very confusing here too. As I've neither seen footwear in Boot's nor ready made spiced meals in Curry's. Yet you were always able to buy paperclips and similar office consumables at Staples. Hmm!
