I think that this is a hilarious article and I agree with the statement, this guy deserves a medal. This article is about how a woman, I would think is a housewife, goes to the supermarket and she would bring her husband along. Either out of boredom or just for fun, her husband does various ridiculous and disturbing actions! Yes, I know when you read my title, you would be thinking that I would be writing on some super athlete or some hero who saved someone or something. Well, I posted this up so everybody can have a good laugh and brighten up your day as I know the deadlines are breathing down on our necks. Maybe next time everyone should think twice when you drag your partner to accompany you to the store. He/she might just do something really embarrassing or childish because he/she wants to entertain themselves. Imagine how the shock when you receive such a letter as above in your mailbox!
In chapter 4, we learnt about euphemisms which are unpleasant truths wearing a diplomatic cologne. Language can be interpreted in more than one way. This letter is wrote in a very formal way and clearly only states the facts that happened in the store. It starts of by thanking the customer for patronizing the store and then laying down that they are 'considering' banning the family so that they do not offend the customer directly. They then give the customer a chance to negotiate when they say that the family can come into the store if her husband would stop his antics. They then lay the facts with dates intact so that the customer can not debut because she would know that they clearly know the dates because of sufficient evidence, and she won't be able to complain against the manager nor the store. How many of us can put "Your husband is acting like a kid in our store, please ask him to stop or do not come to our store anymore." so nicely in words?
