I popped round to see some old lady about some records
in a small village this afternoon and and she said,
"ooh would you like to see my old cars?"
Now I know nowt about cars but TWO Rolls Royces!!
bloody hell you just never know what folks tuck away,
the records were rubbish unfortunately.
- Nice magical moment! Was with my parents in San Fran years ago, saw 40+ vintage cars in a window, caretaker takes us on a tour largest car collection in Calirobotron3k
- Which one of you is that in the reflection in the second pic?Fax_Benson
- ahahaha @ faxlvl_13
- Wowzers. Nice motors. I'd be like "is that a euphemism love?"Ianbolton

Last weekend I went to visit some friends at their beach house, about 100km from Montevideo. As soon as I arrived, I was warned about a crazy situation that had been happening with a neighbor from the early morning. A woman in her 40s had been knocking on the door all morning, like 20 times. She kept asking to enter, and showed clear signs of having a mental problem. My friends had not made a decision on whether to call the police, nor had they discovered what this lady's house was, as if to go see if there was someone in charge or something. She clearly wasn’t looking for trouble, and when faced walked away very fast into the woods or something. The rest of the afternoon we went to the beach and then returned for dinner, and did not see her again. Around 9:00 pm, we were on the porch, having dinner, and FROM NOWHERE, dressed in white and standing at the main gate, the lady. SHe stood for about 5 seconds and walked quickly towards a dark street. It was like a scene from a horror movie. We got pretty scared and worried for her, but again hesitant to call the copa. Anyway, we went to sleep and the next day she was gone. Neither showed up today.
- Trying to convince myself that not calling the cops was sort of an act of good will, and that she would have been in more trouble than she already was if we didmaquito

Just got off the phone w/some loony fuck whom demanded I 'apologize' for stealing his 'copyrighted' art...
It took over 10 minutes to get the fucking moron to understand the work I was sharing WITH HIS CLIENT (and mine) was REQUESTED BY HIS CLIENT to be be animated and inserted into a marketing video.
The Dude called me losing his shit threatening legal action etc all because I was KIND ENOUGH to cc him on the fucking comp requested by our joint client. Dude was too dense to see he was included to offer a critique nor did he bother to see who else was even cc'd on the fucking email (his client and their partners)...
... not to mention the artwork was SHIT and is not something I'd ever admit I even had anything to do with let alone take credit for... this was a fucking paycheck for something that will never again be sent or shared by me. Fucking loony hack.
- And what's really sad is he didn't apologize when he realized what a dipshit he looked like... instead he sort of doubled down... "Oh? XXX asked you to do...PonyBoy
- ... this work? Hmm - well he didn't tell me. I better not find out otherwise..."PonyBoy
- What an asshole.PhanLo

- I am dealing with a similar situation with a client who brought in a freelancer who was over his head, and later our agency was brought in as consultants.BonSeff
- Handle it with grace if you can.BonSeff
- Client-facing I am cordial, but back at the shop I am dropping so many f-bombs to the PM. I get the struggle.BonSeff
- Forget about it. Stand above the conflict. Even apologize if shit gets too intense. Stay away from toxic people, and find the easiest way out of toxic situationmaquito
- The Artist is likely worried, fucking stressed, and crazy defensive cause he is pretty aware his work is shit.maquito
- I’ve been there, and sadly done the wrong thing: torturing, degrading, making fun... believe me, it does no good for no one.maquito
- Yeah... I took it easy... didn't even bother talking to 'our' client about it. I did have to yell over the fucker to take the conversation down...PonyBoy
- ... and to be honest I feel a bit shitty for even letting my voice go up. And please no way did I belittle or attack his work and probably wouldn't even...PonyBoy
- ... (sorry - I did talk shit here on QBN about it... but in no way would I ever to his face / over the phone!)... just venting here. :)PonyBoy
- I got it from your last paragraph. I have to admit I would’ve felt tented to, but good job for letting it go!maquito

We need to outlaw human drivers for automobiles as soon as possible.
General idiots should not have the power and ability to careen wildly through traffic while they are drunk and texting.
Obviously SOME professionals ought to be able to manage vehicles, but not your average slackjawed idiot. I cannot wait until the day comes. The bar for a machine being 'safer' than a human driver is breathtakingly low.
- only in 'mericagrafician
- Ban everything!GuyFawkes
- arm everybody!renderedred
- I'd like it if they made the driving test much much harder, and repeat it every 5 years. As it stands right now you could be drunk and still pass the test.zarkonite

Went to a commercial art fair last night - I used to go to these things quite a lot, but haven't for a few years. This was the first one we took the kid to.
Barely saw any art - spent 20 minutes milling around before bumping into a friend, then went to a 'VIP' bar to have a Negroni (Campari were sponsoring drinks) then needed to feed bairn, necessitating another Negroni, and then fuckit, why not another and then perhaps another?
Didn't see much art, but did toddle a bit on my way back home - some of those Negronis were quite strong.

On a plane yesterday, sat next to a 20something with bleach blonde hair wearing a "I only speak in sarcasm" sweatshirt and a face full of makeup.
I tried to be friendly and start a conversation about sarcasm but she didn't seem to "get" anything I was saying.
She's younger and I wasn't attracted to her but I guess she probably gets hit on by bros.
I wonder if she thought I was equally boring or if I was weird.
- Weird for sure. Also you suck at sarcasm.monospaced
- /r/therightcanttalkt...dorf
- probably both.pango

Is it weird to follow a client's personal account on Instagram if I don't know them too well? They post interesting things and I cyber stalked them.

I'm reading the feedbacks for one of our apps andam crying :|How to solve the problem of fuckface johnny leaving shitty feedback, and our support contacts him, helps him because he was the stupid one, and fuckface johnny's feedback is still online?
HOW?!%- They don't know how to use but they like to review!!???robotron3k
- call him out with sarcasmgrafician
- like "we only have 4.5 ratings because stupid johnny here don't know how to use apps"grafician
- smart uses will just laugh about it and still use you're app, be transparent about itgrafician
- *usersgrafician
- whenever I want to install a new app that I want, I also check reviews and see most are up by stupid dump mf but I can't call them out so I just install it anywgrafician
- nah have to think over how we can get better ratings. we took over 2 years ago a shitty application, what people already hated and there is no alternative.sted
- also don't get support to contact them, ban them directly! being hostile to stupid users is a plus, they deserve it!grafician
- And we did the redesigns, added meaningful functions, fixed all the shitty bugs... and created a proper on-boarding for the new users.sted
- What even allows you to videochat with the support if something is f up with the first experience/setup (there is some irl action involved...)sted
- can't say fuck you to a user because that's when we will get fired:) + why am i interested: these feedbacks will be part of our performance evaluation next yearsted
- sorry sted dump users don't give good feedback, user test locally before a new release mangrafician
- You are not Amazon with fake reviews, if you have bugs release a new version and be donegrafician
- Sooo what's this app, I wanna try it now :))grafician
- well you can try it out if you live in australia and you have a contract with AGL :)sted
- Could well be someone fed up with AGL in general taking it out on the app. Soz that doesn’t help though : /MrT
- You have to launch it perfect on day one.monospaced
- So all the bad reviews are from the version before you guys fixed? Ask your management to measure from the date you re-released.ben_
- objectively speaking, by the numbers it looks like there’s way more Fuckface Johnnys than not...ben_
- Did you know there's an option to reset your reviews? It's there for exactly that reason, when you launch a new version you want new feedback.zarkonite
- Also that image show that just about 60% of your 298 reviews were 1 star...zarkonite
- @zarkonite "resetting your summary rating does not reset your app’s written reviews. Past reviews will continue to display on your product page"sted
- @monospaced I know that :) Right now our only option to that is to rebrand.sted
- @ben_: no. we took it over, still getting these. people tend to leave bad reviews, if they see a lot of them (and forget to think while using the app).sted
- +most of these users are 50+.sted

11 days working on various projects in the sun. I feel so blessed and happy it’s all over. One girl peed in the wilderness for the first time in her life and called it the craziest thing she had ever done. She was cool though.
Have many amazing pictures and publishing date is soon. I carry the memory cards with me anywhere now.
How much I not want to go back to Germany...

I thought I had lost this long ago, just found it in a book...
About 10 years ago I was traveling from Belfast to Barcelona. I vaguely remember dropping my boarding card when I got seated on the plane... Hours later when we'd arrived at out apartment I emptied my pockets and found this... Bryan fucking Ferry! I checked it out and he had played in Belfast the day before, had sat in my seat on an earlier flight back to London - and somehow I had picked up his boarding pass. Still blows my mind.

Opinion is bound to vary, but I think if you consider the facts, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the best breakfast cereal.
- No. Toasted homemade bread with organic olive oil is the best, periodOBBTKN
- And a hot espresso coffeeOBBTKN
- proccessed cereals? No thanksOBBTKN
- Kashi Autumn Wheat with a dash of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and almond milk. Don't knock it until you try it.garbage
- Almond milk? C'monOBBTKN
- fuck yeah it's so goodmonospaced
- Almond milk is awesome!Krassy
- Well toast is not breakfast cereal, but since we are going there, toasted home-made bread with salted butter, and cinnamon/sugar sprinkled on top has that beat.monNom
- CTCmisterhow
- Calm down, brother OB!
.
Salted butter is way better than olive oil on toasted breakfast bread anyway ;)Nairn - Salted butter, no comment broOBBTKN
- And, almond milk is... How do you say it?... Yes, uttershit!?OBBTKN

A couple of months back a co-worker said that he heard suspicious noises in the toilet stall next to him. Heavy breathing and light slapping. Fap noises. He didn't stay in the bathroom long enough to see who was in the other stall, so we've been curious about it since.
Today he heard the noises again. He slacks me, and we staked out in front of the bathroom to see who came out. Now we know who the culprit is.
Theres only a small group of us who know about it and were dying...We're trying to keep it to our group, but it's such a juicy story I'm finding it hard not to spread it around the office like a coronavirus.
So I'm posting it here, cause I need to share this news. There's a dude in my office who jerks off on company time.
- better than QBNmonospaced
- poor guy was probably trying to push a large dump out, was breathing heavy and tapping his thigh to ease the pain.shapesalad

Sobriety.
Going through alcohol withdrawal right now, again.
Pretty intense; hallucinations, sweating, hearing things, etc.
It's a weird cathartic moment of "Hey, i'm no longer in my 20's AND i've been drinking pretty steady since I was in my late teens" and now i'm in bed feeling like I need to call a exorcist/priest."
Stay healthy my brothers / sister.
Health, as always IS wealth.
Also, YOLO.

- Bf reached 5 months sober yesterday. His withdrawal took four days and the shaking was so bad he couldn't stand or hold anything.i_monk
- That's excellent @i_monk. I hope he's better NOW than he was THEN mentally, physically, etc.

- Inspiring bud. *thumbsup*ideaist
- stay strong ideaist!! you're brave for taking it on.sarahfailin

- I'm over 2 years sober. I can tell you it'll get better. Not easier. Better. You'll notice the cloud around you will go away.DRIFTMONKEY
- It's reassuring to hear there are those on both sides of the coin here. I sit between addiction and quitting every few months or so. We all walk the line...ideaist
