The Gift-Shopping Reviewer
It never really occurred to me how much web site reviewing ingrained itself into my daily life. Due to some time constraints1 , I rarely do any formal reviews these days. Nevertheless, from time to time I find myself spouting weird suggestions/requests, which leave people slightly confused… to put it mildly. 
Lovely jewellery from Millefiori
Sales girl: What about these? They’re the same model as the one’s on the top shelf.
Me (enthusiastically): Oh they’re lovely… but I rather like the color contrast of the ones from the shelf, but not colors themselves… would you have that is yellow or brown?
Sales girl: Oh er…
To her credit, she didn’t seem to visibly insult me2. Score for customer service, I guess

Ngehe. Colour contrasts! I remember thinking in my head (luckily not out loud and not to a human being), that I had to “delete” some RL object I suddenly recalled. Delete meaning throw away, that is. >_> We is just awkward, messed up people sometimes….

Lol.
Color contrast probably makes a huge difference when you’re trying to sell something. The better the color contrast, the item looks.

Lulz, that must be an awkward situation for the salesgirl. Good thing she’s professional enough to keep her opinions about it to herself (if there was any).

I initially thought that CV and resume were the same thing. Apparently one is longer and more detailed than the other.

Oh, but you’re just a customer who KNOWS what she wants. Can’t argue with that
Vera: Oh absolutely.
I DO generally have a fair idea of what I don’t want. It’s usually something like “no, not that… or that… and not that either… oh and DEFINITELY NOT that”
