This conversation took place about 2 weeks back at the Honda showroom:
BF: What about the off-white for the CRV?
Salesman: It's the same as that pearly white CRV over there.
Me: No, there's one more milky white that's not so white white. That's the white we both like.
Salesman: Hmmm.... There has always been only 1 white for the Honda CRV.
BF: Maybe it's a very old model?
Salesman: Hmmm.... No le....
(confused)
Me: There it is, that's the kind of white we are referring to. (pointing to a creamy white CRV that
just passed us)
Salesman: Oh, that one never wash and wax la.
BF & I: Oh! Hehe... (feel very very silly)
Needless to say, we didn't choose the white one even though it was my favourite kind of "white" for cars all these while.
