This Story Is Just, Ugh…

Markus from Green Bay

I work in a discount store that sells clothes and trinkets that were considered “rejects” on the factory floor but good enough for us to sell at a discount. A new coworker who is still learning English after moving here from Cambodia is helping a customer buy a “Live, Laugh, Love” display made of large solid letters.

Coworker: “I’m sorry, this is damaged. You’ve lost a “la”.”
Customer: “Pardon me?”
Coworker: “It’s supposed to say “Live, laugh, love” but the “la” has fallen off of the laugh. If you like I can get you one that isn’t broken.”
Customer: “Are you kidding?! That’s even better! I wanted it because of that!”
Coworker: “Okay… if you’re sure?”

The customer is even more excited and makes the purchase, leaving my coworker confused. They share their confusion with me.

Me: “One thing you’ll learn about the English language is how much we hate our own phrases and love to subvert them.”
Coworker: “What do you mean?”
Me: “That sign said: “Live, ugh, love.”
Coworker: *Blank look.*
Me: “Trust me, it’s better.”
