Proposition
[Inspired by a conversation not too long ago.]
When a gas pump asks (as they all do), “Would You Like to Buy a Carwash Today?” your options are usually ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ I’ve never pressed the ‘Yes’ button, but the question pops up every time regardless. Hope springs eternal if you’re a gas station computer, I guess.
Just once I’d like to see a menu with three possible responses to the carwash offer: “Sure,” “No, thanks,” and “Step off, bi-atch.”
The third button wouldn’t do anything special, but it’d save me the trouble of saying it out loud. Not that I do that.
