Just saw a commercial for Overstock.com. A forklift operator is surrounded by mattresses, requiring a large button to be pressed sending said mattresses out to stores. Pretty standard stuff.

Except that when the driver goes to shift into reverse, he instead grabs the tilt control. The gear shift on most lifts is on the steering column. Those three levers you can see are up/down, tilt, and left/right. Tiny detail, but enough to annoy anyone who runs a forklift.

I have come to the conclusion that TV people can't even get details of TV things right, so the rest of us with other specialties should probably be happy that people portraying us do not accidentally set themselves on fire or something ;)

Either that, or we should be disappointed that people portraying our jobs on TV don't accidentally self-immolate.
