Welcome to my first installment of "Say What?," in which I describe asinine things people have actually said or written.
Groupon.com is a sweet website. Various businesses provide services at discounted rates if enough people buy it. So far I have 2 massages and a kayak tour booked through groupon.
Their current deal is rather unique: 67% Off at Your Personal Concierge
What does this mean, you may wonder. The business, Your Personal Concierge, will provide a personal assistant for 3 hours at a discounted rate. Here is the description with my own emphasis added:
The experienced errand-achievers (who have serviced high-profile celebs and wealthy execs) are like interns for your life, skillfully performing your tiresome to-do list so you can focus on less irksome activities such as picking out wedding rings and finalizing divorces.
The euphemism "errand-achievers" is a bit of a stretch, but I was willing to excuse such a phrase. Their description of irksome activities irks me. Picking out a wedding ring does qualify as less irksome; however, finalizing a divorce sounds more irksome than your average task on your to-do list.
Thus concludes my first installment of "Say What?" Feel free to contact me with suggestions.
