Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

Some idiot sent an email because they are apparently having a problem with one of our internal computer programs. They copied everyone that uses this software...thousands of people in the company. Now I have 150 emails from people replying all saying to take them off the list. :mad:

You should reply-all and tell them not to reply-all. People love that.

The last ~30 of the emails have been saying that...I don't know how these people have the brain power to function on a daily basis.

That used to happen about once every other month or so. Since then the company got smart about these things and setup specific helpdesk email addresses that have the actual word "helpdesk" within both the address and name. A few different times, somebody sent out an email with a real flippant attitude, something along the lines of Please continue replying to all addressees who ask to not be included on these emails. It's entertaining.

What caused all of these to stop, I assume since I saw his address included, is that someone finally got the CEO included in the list of addresses once. A few months later it never happened again.

people who give information, then expect answers when they did not ask a QUESTION. if you don't ask a question, what am I supposed to answer?

I'm waiting for anti-vaxxers to join the flat earth society and the young Earth creationists. It would take their derp to a whole new level.

Anti-vaxxers annoy me more than vegans. At least with vegans, while they are annoying, they aren't hurting anyone. With the anti-vaxxers, diseases we thought we had a lid on are coming back big time.
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

you know how some people cannot talk without using their hands?

what grinds my gears are people who are driving a car and talking on the phone and waving their hands around. No hand left to hold onto the steering wheel! :eek:

If you don't know how to drive with your knees, you fail at life.

I was self-taught out of curiosity.
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

People who don't take driving seriously grind my gears. Is whatever the **** you're doing in your car more important than human life? If not - STOP IT AND DRIVE. PAY ATTENTION. Other people are putting their lives in your hands when you're driving. When you kill someone with your negligence, are you going to say "oops, my bad" and that will bring them back? Just because you haven't gotten into an accident doesn't make you super-skilled at driving. It makes you LUCKY. And luck does not last.

How the hell do you get your winter coat off after the car warms up if you can't drive with your knees? :confused:

Or eat a burger while driving a stick, that is really how I learned. The first vehicle I drove (legally) was a Dodge Ram 2500 with a 8.0L V10 and a 5-speed manual. That thing had some grunt, but it was a good truck to drive with my knees. These days I do it when I'm eating, or just for the hell of it. Can go 20, 30 miles on the highway without touching the wheel.
