Thread: Only in America

Only in America will you have to order a "small" drink in order to get a medium-sized drink.

...I swear, ordering a "medium" will always get you a Big Gulp-sized drink in most fast food restaurants nowadays.

Grumble Grumble Grumble

Only in American that over the counter medication has the warning...

DO NOT USE IF IMPRINTED SAFETY SEAL UNDER CAP IS BROKEN OR MISSING

(So does this make the product in the container one use only???)

I don't get the first image, Pretty much every ATM has braille on the keypad, not just in the States, and how is that funny? Blind people can use ATMs too you know. And just because its a drive up ATM, doesn't mean that its the driver using it.

Then you take into consideration that all atm's are mass produced and it saves money to make all keypads the same, rather then making separate ones. Also, Blind people aren't the only ones who use Braille, there are those that have enough vision to be able to drive, but not enough to read written words close up to them, like those with severe farsightedness.

There's always an explanation, you just have to think out side the box a little bit.

True, true. You're right. But, most drive-up ATMs--at least where I live--are one way, so you wouldn't be able to pull up and have the passenger use the ATM through the car window (when speaking of those with no vision) that's why I thought it was funny. Because, a blind person can't drive themselves to the ATM. Severe farsightedness, on the other hand, is a different topic all together. ^_^

You make a very good point though.

No, but someone can, and they can use it from the rear passenger seat.

Also, most of the drive-thru ATMs are just regular ATMs in a different spot, they're not specifically made for drive-thru use.

Only in America will you come across tons of record labels started by one hit wonder rap "artists" who waste money on good beats for horrible rappers, in an attempt to "put their boys on".
