Three things happened recently to make me think....what?

1. A student I teach - Sir, how do you spell GCSE?
2. A colleague to his brand new car back to the garage as reverse gear wasnt engaging. He got a call a few hours late to pick it up as it seemed fine. He was putting it in 4th and didn't realise it was an up and to the left reverse as clearly shown by an R on the stick
3. My g/f - my brother never rings or anything. Me - perhaps he's forgotten our number. Her - well he could ring and ask.

This is killer... not me but my brother who also does a little selling on ebay... (you thought you'd dealt with morons before??...)

One of the items he sells is Sherbert (as in the sweet)-
He gets a message from one buyer who'd recently received his product:

"Hello Seller, my Item is arrived. I've got it today.
But I have an problem I have not find any instruction about how to use this sherbet.
Please contact me by my private mail: [email protected] and provide me some instruction, or tell me how can I use this sherbet.
I left for you five stars positive feedback tomorrow after i get respond from you.
Best Regards,"
