Even More Pet Peeves

People are dumb. Intel is doing a promotion on some server platforms and we are advertising it on our website. Here's what it said on our website:
From now through June 30, 2005, eligible program members can save up to $275 when they buy one unit of select IntelĀ® Server Platforms through participating Authorized IntelĀ® Distributors. Limit one promotional discount per eligible program member. Maximum promotional discount is $275. Refer to promotion Terms and Conditions for promotion details.
A guy called and said he was on this page and had few questions. He wanted to know where he could purchase the platforms and how many discounts he could get. Argh! I told him that the information was located in this paragraph and he should read it to get the answers to his questions. I can understand people skimming information, but if you are going to take the time to call someone, aren't you going to read information more closely (especially when it's only 3 sentences long)?

Last week I asked a guy if there was anything else I could help him with. He said, "That'll do her!" What the heck does that mean? Who was the guy talking about? It's annoying when people use phrases that don't make sense, logically or grammatically, but especially logically.

People who skim information. Hmmm. Sounds like someone I know!
