  • kinda feel like those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can’t master just pass the basics, sorry. Here’s a pencil and a pad of paper.

    My wife had her HR rep get pissed at her just yesterday for sending an email to her boss and other higher-ups asking why assistant managers at her company can’t use the computers theyre on all day properly. She had asked for a screenshot of something so she could see what the other person was seeing and they replied with “I can’t do that idk how” and thought that was acceptable?

    Luckily the other higher ups told HR to shut up and that she was only mad because it’s her job to ensure basic computer literacy and she clearly didn’t.

    People 100% get into the mindset that “well, I already know the basics, so anything I don’t know is advanced user shit so I can’t learn it” and it’s infuriating













  • I HAVE been accused of being a pervert, once, and it was fucking weird

    Was at the store and some kid walked up to me thinking I was my dad (works at a local school and we look a lot alike, have the same name even)

    Told the kid nah, that he had mistaken me for my dad, and then suddenly his mom appears and grabs the kid while telling me to “stay away from her kid you long haired freak”

    Again, I look like my dad (he also has long hair) to the point of this kid mistaking me for him, yet I was still some random creep to this lady

    People stop seeing normal human dudes in public once a kid is around and it can really suck sometimes




  • A brand new Keurig

    I and the one other guy remaining at our old office for 6mo while we finished the move and got ready for demo didn’t drink coffee, but HR made sure we had a brand new machine. At the end of the 6 months I took it for my wife. That was 5 or 6 years ago now and it’s still the quick coffee machine when I don’t wanna bother making espresso

    Other than that mostly office supply doodads for random shit, like a handful of paperclips to turn into bowl plugs, or printing a shipping label on works nice sticker labels. You know, office perks

    If someone wants me to install a service exclusively to speak to them: fuck em, not worth it.

    I use basic text messages to contact people, it’s damn near the most universal thing people have when I meet them. I’m not gonna go out of my way to download an app and remember to use it for a specific person when texting exists and everyone else uses it already
