Fact: You always smell like the computer you're working on.

[mix-hyenataur.livejournal.com]

Take your smoking outside, not near me when I'm working in your house.

Trust me, I'll still smell like an asspit, and so will my car on the ride home, but at least I won't be gagging on the smoke blown in my face while you badger me with "What are you doing?" questions every two fucking minutes.

Asking people to take it elsewhere offends some.

Most Hated Phrase

[leetmasterjames.livejournal.com]

"I'm computer illiterate"

This nonsensical term is so aggravating. People from all walks of life use the term even some fairly intelligent people. The major problem with the statement is that it makes no sense logically or grammatically.

Does it mean they cant read something on a computer screen but if its printed out they can read it.

Does it mean that they cant read the text on the outside of the system itself.

The statement is so stupid and the fact that people chime it out as a way of saying they don't know about computers only aggravates me.

Now, I have no problem with people who don't know much about computers, I don't know much about blacksmithing, raising farm animals, brain surgery or tennis to name a few. I would have no problem with people showing us and saying something like "I'm not good with these", "I don't know much about em" heck ill even accept "I'm scared of these things" but at least those are legitimate statements that would not make an English teacher cringe.

Oh, team chat, the things you find....

Actual conversation in team chat:

HER: user saying she keeps getting harassment calls from an ex employee and wants to know what she can do
what do i tell her?

ME: call the police

HER: lol. i know

ME: pay someone to start your car in the morning
or invest in a mirror on a stick

HIM: see what HR says

ME: what state is she in? do they have conceal and carry laws there?

HIM:even though they're an ex-employee it's a risk for the company so they should be able to tell her something
police may be a good idea too, depending on the level of harassment

HER: she'll contact HR
thanks
