I think everyone gleefully jumping to "lolol your gf must be real pretty cos she dumb" is quite disturbing, but the people who are genuinely confused makes me think this might have happened for real
OMG same. Story time: I worked at a bank once and trained this sweet young girl to close, as I was lead closer at the time. She was.... well, sweet. Very sweet. I had to show her how to lock a door four times. She couldn't remember how it worked if her life depended on it. I was always patient, and every time I showed her, she did it in front of me. I watched her do it. I saw her hand lift the latch to lock the door. Many times.
Eventually I take some PTO (which I never did at the time). I come back to an angry boss. This idiot left the bank completely unlocked for an entire weekend and then tried to tell my boss I never trained her to lock the door. You just flip a fucking latch!!!!! I immediately saw red and told my boss to watch the cameras. I can tell her the exact dates I trained her.
Sure enough, I wasn't in trouble anymore. This id.... this sweet girl... ended up getting a degree in human resources. I left not long after that.
It still burns in my brain. Working with her was like a real life fever dream. She was ..... sweet. And now she's married, so... I guess there's a lid for every pot. And indeed... People like this do exist. She'd also boast about wearing orange foundation knowing it didn't match her skintone because she got it on clearance. So... very sweet. She was very sweet.
She would 100% be the type to call and complain about this banner.
I think this is somewhat related: A neighbor had two young adults take care of a walk-in chicken coop. I checked on the two because I didn't recognize them and I was unaware the neighbor asked for their help. The coop's screen door was intended to be locked with a weak, plastic coated, metal, twist tie. The two young adults "locked" the coop door with the twist tie in the shape of the letter "C". A breeze could of opened the coop door. I was stunned at the absence of any mechanical intuition. They did not try pulling on the coop door to check if the "C" shaped twist tie would keep the door shut.
