That 3-hour call with Comcast that should have been 20 minutes

Why do companies make it impossible to just quit?

Shoutout to the old school drywall stilts still kicking around

My old steel Werners have probably got 200 sheets of drywall on em by now and they still feel solid as a rock. I got mine from a guy who was retiring and they were already beat up, but I'll take that heavy feel over the new aluminum ones any day.

Found out most writing prompts from the 1800s were just moral lessons

Holy crap. Wait, you mean people actually lived without smartphones and GPS and just... figured it out? That's insane to me.

That 'flying shark' video from last summer was just a drone with a fin glued on

Whoa hold on, I think everybody's missing something obvious about that whole video. The guy who faked it said he did it for likes and views, but look at the timing. That video dropped right when a big tech company was pushing their new drone line hard in ads all over social media. I still remember the comments section had a ton of subtle shilling for that company's waterproof drone model. If he was just some random guy, why'd the video vanish so fast even before the debunking started spreading? A regular user usually sticks around to argue or get clout, but that account went dark completely within a day. Might be a coincidence, but it feels like somebody paid him to stir up buzz on purpose.

Spent 4 hours fixing a visa issue that should have taken 20 minutes in Bangkok

Isn't it funny how bureaucracy seems to have this magic ability to turn simple tasks into half-day affairs, no matter where you are? It's like the universe's way of reminding us that control is an illusion, especially when dealing with paperwork and rubber stamps. You just gotta laugh (or cry) and move on, I guess.
