[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1396707, member: 7157"] Yesterday afternoon, I was waiting in line at the post office near 31st and 129th in Tulsa. There was a young couple with a little boy at one of the windows with a large package that apparently they were trying to send to Mexico. After a short conference with the postal worker, they moved to one side to write the shipping addresses on the wrapper of the package. The woman started writing something, then paused to speak with her partner. He took the Sharpie pen from her, wrote something on his hand, and held it up for her to see. A big lower-case "i" - apparently she didn't know how to write one? :uhh: She took the pen back, bent over the package, looked at his hand, carefully wrote something, then paused again. After another conference, the fellow took the pen and wrote the rest of the address. Made me wonder... but I'd rather not say anything that might get me a time-out :P [/QUOTE]
