[QUOTE="donna723, post: 176723, member: 1883"] Trinity, bless your little heart for doing your part to make forms easier to fill out! Believe it or not, the absolute worst one I've ever seen came from the Red Cross! The Bloodmobile came to where we work and about a dozen of us were sitting in the admin building lobby filling out the forms before we went out to give blood. We were all just zipping through the forms, but then everybody, one by one, would get to a certain point, stop writing, and just look mystified! The question that stumped us was on what race we were! We'd look at each other and say, "What the ... ?" It wasn't just simple like: B ( ) W ( ) ... it was at least twenty little 2-letter abbreviations that made no sense to anybody!! What is an "SA"? If I was one, wouldn't I already know it? What is a "WA"? Or an "EE"? So there we sat, a dozen seemingly intelligent gainfully employed adults trying to figure out what race we were! Most of us ended up just leaving it blank - not as embarassing for them to think we just overlooked it as to admit that none of us knew what race we were! We never did find out what all of them were supposed to be ... one was some kind of Eskimo from one isolated far flung section of Alaska. We don't tend to have a lot of Eskimos in this part of Tennessee so we didn't know that one! :frostbite::frostbite::frostbite: [/QUOTE]
