"Hey Angie do you know of any florist who does flower arrangement for weddings?"
"Hmm I don't know of any particular one... but I'm sure there are many out there"
Angie tries to be helpful.
"Your friend's wedding?"
"My sister"
"Oh... actually I can help you google"
Angie types 'bride forum singapore florist'. Angie doesn't understand why some homo sapiens just cannot fully utilise the power of Google.
"There. I'll send you the link. It has a list of all the florists brides recommended. you can check it out."
"Oh okay. Thank you. So are the prices among the florists competitive? like about the same?"
-pregnant pause-
"Do I look married to you?"
There is a mighty fine line between being clueless and possessing sublime stupidity.
wahaha, he would be glad if you order the flower for him.
tsk... how old liao, still need spoonfeeding.
I think the major flaw of homo sapiens is not about being clueless and sublime stupidity, but the communication between one and other; that their thoughts could only be simplify and expressed in a limited series of language and vocabulary, and worst of all, further losing its initial meaning when received and processed by another homo sapiens who try to make his own sense from it, making it either too clueless, simplify or even complicated.
Poor guy.. that his question posed, was simply asking if you happens to know or acquainted with any florist that makes beautiful arrangement that you will mark a "Quality Passed" Stamp and can recommend. Well.. one thing i know for sure. He has great trust in your taste.
Well, yeah maybe I was a little too harsh on him. This post, being only a snippet of what I get from him 4weeks a month 5days a week 12 hours a day, can be easily taken out of context and misinterpreted.
I don't mean to be mean, but I guess if I were to share with you every single moment I had with him, you would probably see the light from my perspective. And the matter of flowers isn't just about flowers anymore.
But I can't. Because I'm not going to start a new category - 'Hi-Bye Man' just to justify why I called him stupid. I'm not sure if I want to blog about more work-related matter here just so to prove how irritating he is. So I blog mostly on non-work-related stuff to tell how I'm supposed such a queer person.
But the dilemma now is, I appear petty. But of course, if you backtrack and read ALL the posts which are 'Hi-Bye'-related, maybe you can get a BIGGER picture of what the guy is about. Then maybe, we can discuss again, whether he deserves a name from me. =)
Thanks for the clarity, Look like things are not as surface as it seems. =)
Of course, you are not being petty at all. I mean, at all angles; you did response and helped him.
Maybe, i am the one that is being petty. Do pardon me for that; I am just feeling that so called righteousness urge to drop a comment to defend homo sapiens-male species from the disgrace of being perceived as clueless and stupid, for their unfortunate disabilities in terms of taste, sight, and mind block towards all these delicate, fanciful, sweet little things.
Oh Don't worry. I think this particular man is just an exception. =)
