I call this "Technical solutions to political problems."
Like this - in the 90's; "I don't want my employees goofing off, can you remove Solitaire from Windows!?"
Me: "Sure." All while thinking.... "If their manager can't keep the employees doing their jobs properly and timely without removing Solitaire from their PC's, isn't it the manager [or perhaps the employee or Boss] that's the problem, not exactly Solitaire?"
I mean - who really cares if they're playing games, if they are getting their work done properly and in a timely manner. If they have too much time to goof off, then you need to give them more to do. If they're not getting shit done, then someone needs to address that issue. And finally, getting rid of the toilet/solitaire won't prevent them from doing nothing in a million other ways, probably in ways that will be vastly more destructive to the organization than sitting on the toilet/playing solitaire. [Because now they're pissed.]
Same game, just a different day, I guess.

I've got one of those colds that just comes out of nowhere, hits you hard and zapps all the energy out of you. Couldn't even fathom the drive to the hill (normally 1.45 hours, with the weather today probably ~2.5 hours) let alone doing anything physical. Lame, I know, I know..

we have 2 depts. on our floor, applications and HR; each have one Christmas tree up. there is one person in HR and one in applications, me; that will take the 5 seconds to plug the lights in, in the morning and unplug at night; everyone else walks by and leaves them unlit.
sure, many don't like Christmas for whatever reason; but those that do could plug the freakin lights in once for everyone else. the laziness of people never ceases to surprise.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

That is annoying. This year, it was decided that even referring to this time of year as the "Holiday Season" was potentially too offensive, so that went the way of rear entry boots. Our tree lighting ceremony this year was dubbed "An Old Fashioned Downtown Festival," with no mention of any specific holiday, or even the general holidays. JHC.

The building owners here go completely fucking over the top with Christmas, Hot chocolate giveaways, string quartets, Photos with Santa in the lobby.
The one that really annoys me is the day they have a troupe of costumed carol singers performing.. singing from their "Dickensian Christmas" hymn sheets.
Dickensian = deprivation, child Labor, starvation, the workhouse, prison ships...
And on a related seasonal note.
I happened to walk past the corner window display of the downtown Macy's today, it's full of the holiday train scene.
There was a homeless woman having a shit on the sidewalk in front of it.

When someone claims that they never received an email you sent. Even though they are responding to the follow up email you sent.
We all do email, we all know how it works, make some excuse like "must have gone to my spam" or even "I never saw it, maybe I accidentally deleted it". But never received it? This isn't USPS and I'm not stupid, I know you received it."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

I had this happen a little while ago. Somebody forwarded an email they say they sent a few months ago. Nobody on the dist list got it. It didn’t hit filters. It didn’t exist on our mail server. No clues in the header.
Pretty sure he was gaslighting us. Not that it mattered one way or the other, but that just made it more frustrating.focus.

I work in online retail.
I’m certain our call center has the exact conversation plugboots had many times each day.
Asking for the supervisor gets you someone just as dumb and ill equipped to handle critical thinking, they just happen to have been at the company longer.

I just wish the help reps could skip the scripts they have to recite--"That must be very frustrating for you. I can definitely help you with that [they can't}" and just get to the problem.

Thanks! What makes me most satisfied is how me going DIY has saved our car for us. After hearing the multiple estimates adding up to more than the car's even worth, we were heavily considering just getting rid of it, which all the known issues would've tanked its value even further. Now we're halfway up the country and it's performing beautifully all the way around. All for a few hundred in brake parts and the cost of some fuses. LMAO.
With the new headlight assemblies I installed too, the car's LOOKING good as well.

Austin,
If you get really good at this you can start your own TV show rescuing classic cars and then turn around and sell them at the end of the show."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Haha. I'd just end being like Tyler Hoovie where I'd wind up losing my ass on most cars. It has been fun rescuing my own vehicle tho. The interior is SO nice on it that everything I looked at when shopping was a serious downgrade (within my budget at least). Tough to beat those fine Volvo seats!

Two (2) older skiers speaking loudly across the diner about what a great locker one of them scored up at Taos. I'd pay to watch one of them suffer a suden heart attack right now
