Walking Advertisment
Sorry for the lack of posts recently folks...I can't really give any good reason as to why...sometimes I just feel like hiding, and so hide i did. Anyhow i'm back with a little story for now...
Was working the other night, and instead of the normal uniform we had to wear t-shirts advertising an accomodation website...i'm not sure why, i'm pretty sure the website is paying our company lots of money to make us into walking advertisments as part of some promotion.
So, anyhow, it's breaktime and i was just going to a fast food place in the complex to grab some food, i had placed my order and was waiting for my food, when some random guy came up to me.
"Excuse me" he said, "My friend is visiting from Germany"...at this point i was thinking this is a great story buddy, but i'm not sure why this should interest me...and he continued, "and he is looking for some cheap student accomodation and i noticed your shirt said accomodation and was wondering if you could tell me if it might be suitable for him".
Now, I hadn't even read the back of my shirt, all I knew was the front said go stay, I had no idea what I was advertising, so i politely said, "I think the best idea is just to go to the website gostay and then you can have a look and see if it is what you are looking for". I was pretty proud of myself, I hadn't given away the fact i knew nothing...but he wasn't happy with that...he tried asking me some more questions, to which i finally replied, i'm sorry, i really have no idea...I was just asked to wear this shirt for work today.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
So did the back of the shirt say something?
Yup, it said "for your best choice is Australian accomodation"
