Add another to the list

You all know how I've been slowly compiling a list of dumb/useless words and sayings? Well, guess what? I have another.

While driving out to meet some friends for lunch yesterday, I passed a store. Okay, I passed dozens of stores. But one in particular gave me pause. A sign, displayed loudly and proudly in its front window, screamed PRE-SALE IN PROGRESS!

So, then, you're having a sale, correct? A sale right now, this very moment, correct?

Pray, then, it's not really a pre-sale, is it? It isn't a pre-anything, is it? It's an actual we've cut prices and have specials event, isn't it? In other words, A SALE.

Am I the only upset by things like this?
