Don't Butter Me Up.
FOUND by Steven McGie in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada
This was wedged between the seats on a bus, and I just noticed it as I was just about to leave. On the reverse, it's a printer test sheet, but on the front it has expressions translated into an Asian language. It's as if someone needed a cheat sheet to know exactly how to break up with their significant other.

It's not a break up note. It's a list of idioms with translations into Korean.

"don't butter me up" is an important idiom to know in any language.
