My husband! Degrees, post grads, diplomas and absolutely no common sense! It drives me mad at times! ?
On holiday in Rome last , he spent 5 minutes trying to validate our bus tickets, then told me the machine was broken. Tried another machine on the bus and it was "broken too!"
There was nothing wrong with the machine, the ticket was not only upside down, but back to front. This was despite there being an arrow on the ticket to show the direction to put it in the machine.
What makes it worse, is that we have been to Rome over thirty times and he still can't get it right!
The following day the same thing happened again. I was so frustrated, that huffing and puffing, I took the tickets from him, only for one of the passengers to shout, Non funziona, in other words, the ticket machines really weren't working.
