thaigerd Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I went to a big hotel in Patong today. When I arrived at the reception desk I discovered many papers all over the counter. It was a letter to all customers about today's fire drill and the management wrote an apologize to their customers. In one sentence they said "Sorry for incontinence". So I asked a lady behind the counter(pointing at the "incontinence") "Can you please read this word for me?" She pronounced in a perfect English to me:"Sorry for inconvenience....". I asked her to check the grammar again in her book, when she came back with a red face and a bit of smiling they all started to laugh behind the counter... My last suggestion was to take off all the papers from the counter and write a new ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domprz Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 What ThaiGerd didn't tell you was that he pissed himself with laughter reading the notice.......... If it was something out of their control - incontinence may well have been a more appropriate word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 We all love these funny notices - but I will never understand why they don't just ask an English speaker to check them out??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
