Ian Davis has a Youtube channel dedicated his engineering of his own prosthetic hand. Over the years he's come up with different designs with different functions. Here he is showing off the splay function. Sorry, there's just no denying that this thing is absolutely awesome.
It's like, when you're watching it, you almost feel bad. But then again, without this fail-packed masterpiece we wouldn't have all of the cringe that we do.
It sounds like this unfortunate tech support employee was stuck muddling through a gig that suffered the inevitable pitfalls of having an incompetent manager on duty. Honestly this dude J sounds like a complete waking nightmare to work alongside. We're just glad to hear that this dude was able to get out of the toxic job eventually.
Check out another tech support horror story with this company that insisted on their server not being fixed, and then the fallout that ensued.
After this employee came in late, their boss decided to use the minor infraction as an opportunity to give them a raise in the most convoluted, yet effective way possible. There are so many bad bosses out there, like this boss who said employee computers couldn't idle, or this boss who tried to take priority over the army. But at the end of the day, it's the cool and competent bosses who we remember the most, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.
The world is a great big place filled with interesting people. But interesting doesn't necessarily mean "good to talk to" or "nice to be around." Every once in a while entitled people with their absurd audacity cross our paths, demanding discounted lawnmowers, better donuts and free rides that are like really out of our way. Every time that happens, we're given a choice to either fear the ceaseless demands of entitled people or answer their call with ridicule. Ridicule is a better bet.
Everyone has different instincts for how to stick around at their job. Some people just do a good job. Other people try to maintain a low profile. And then there are the brown-nosers. The people who's personalities change on a dime when the boss is around. The guy who buys his boss lunch. The coworker who will do anything for a shot at sniffing their manager's shoes. People have enough work horror stories to go around. Maybe some work memes would help.
Well oh well, this is definitely one of those stories that just leaves a good feeling in the back of your brain. This very easily could've worked its way into the rotation of solid tech support tales. It's a true crying shame that tech support has to put up with so much ignorance, just because of what they do for a living.
They say taste and smell is a big part of memory. Heck, there are tons of nostalgic junk foods from the '90s. but what about the pain of getting burned on a hot metal sunbaked slide? Or cutting open the corner's of your mouth on a plastic tube of flavored ice? Or stepping on a Lego? Or clobbering the ever-loving sin out of your ankle with a razor scooter? Sometimes we need some nostalgic memes to set our heads straight.
We can only watch 90 Day Fiancé and reruns of Doug for so long before we start to long for some dense historical texts, and these history memes to become with time seem to fit that need alright. Who needs social skills when we can chortle heartily over references to various Mongol invasions and treaty signings? History memes are the light in the darkness.
When there's a wedding around the corner in your life, you can pretty much safely assume that drama's about to break out. It could be (terribly so) your actual partner, or maybe it'll end up being the mother-in-law putting on a show that's worthy of being deemed a full-fledged bridezilla. You never know.
Look, we're not sure what was going on with the tattoo artist during this particular visit. Maybe they ate some demonically spicy Pad Thai that left their stomach in complete ruin the next day, and the bathroom was their only sanctuary. Or, maybe they were just trying to jack up how much money they'd make, by dragging out the length of the customer's session through being an aggressive regular at the restroom. Either way, it sounds like the customer thought it was fair enough to leave a smaller tip. Folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement over the customer's decision.
Medical professionals have to go to school for a long time, but it's not like learning how medications interact is going to change someone's personality. As many dumb patients and absurd misconceptions medical professionals witness, an awkward interaction won't always be the responsibility of a patient. It's a good idea to trust doctors, but if one tells you the cause of your rash is divine punishment, maybe consider seeing a different doctor.
Someone needs a hobby. I mean, dude, if you find yourself in a gig where you're so easily irritated by trivial matters/things that aren't your business, that you go out of your way to complain about not having a special greeting of your own, it's time to reassess your career situation. It sounds like the protagonist in this AITA tale had developed a special greeting for their deaf coworker, but apparently this upset another coworker who felt the need to be included. Um, okay then. The coworker dramas will never end.
Straight up superhuman vibes with these mad skills. Anyone else have a hard enough time just being able to dribble with your offhand?
