Rejected by Cans
Ah, wordplay humor. It will never go out of style. Someone at this person’s workplace left a friendly nudge to remind people that food cans should be dated. So that items don’t pass their expiry date. However, they didn’t phrase things carefully enough, and a colleague saw an opportunity to get snarky. They responded with a humorous remark. “Three times I’ve attempted to date canisters; they only see me as a friend.”
We adore people who supply snappy comebacks and amusing retorts. It’s wonderful. It might bring a tear to our collective eye. If you don’t know the circumstances, it’s easy to see how the above message could be misinterpreted. Or you’re not in a kitchen. Regardless, keep dating cans as numerals rather than removing them for dinner and a movie.
