Have you ever wondered ...
Have you ever wondered:
- Why the salesperson at an appliance retail store spends 20 minutes convincing you of the durability and reliability of a major appliance, and then tries to sell you a Service Protection Plan if the appliance should self-destruct on the day after the warranty expires? (Honey, didn't he just say this dishwasher is built to last for 20 years?)
- Why on earth you would want to purchase a Service Protection Plan on an XBOX game, which has no moving parts and is supposedly going to hold the exact same data for 3 gabillion light years.
- Who has the lovely voice in the self-service checkout machine at Home Depot?
- How the artist is chosen to voice my directions in my GPS. "Turn left in 300 feet!". Why does my GPS use a woman's voice? Why my wife's GPS doesn't have a voice that conjures up an image of a Chippendale?
- Why every stock you purchase takes a nose-dive after you purchase it, and for as long as you hold it?
- Why the slowest lane in bumper-to-bumper traffic is the one that you are in?
