Thumbs Up-Good After-Morning!

As a fan of The Office, I often wonder what it would be like if you actually had to work for someone like Micheal Scott. But part of me always feels relieved because there is no way that a business could survive with a person like that in charge right?

Thankfully the internet is always proving me wrong with the blog “Good After-Morning!” by Silent Koala who “is an office-bound marsupial who for sins of a former life is condemned to a lifetime of drudgery in the shipping industry. The following is unfortunately entirely true and accurate, only the names have been changed.”

You can’t help laugh at the hair-pulling stupidity that this poor soul has to deal with on a daily basis. Whether he’s being asked about spelling:

The Boss : “How do you spell ‘twelfth’?”

Here’s me : “T-W-E-L-F-T-H”

The Boss : “No, when you’re writing it down.”

Here’s me :”Ehwha? Same way, I’m pretty sure?”

The Boss : “No, I mean when you’re writing it down just a number 12 with a t-h after it.”

Here’s me : “I think you may already know.”

The Boss : “Yes but is there an ‘F’ in it?”

or trying to decipher exactly what’s being said:

The Boss : “How many diners do you get?”

Here’s me : “Is this a joke? Are you sure you’re telling it right?”

The Boss : “Don’t be funny.”

Here’s me : “OK.”

The Boss : “So?”

Here’s me : “What?”

The Boss : “How many diners do you get to the pound?”

The penny should have dropped for me by now, but I’m very tired.

Here’s me : “I wish. Just for once. That I knew. What in the flying blue fuck you were talking about.”

The Boss : “How many Arabby Diners?”

Here’s me : “Wha?”

The Boss : “Durham?”

Here’s me : “Wha?”

I’ll spare you the rest of this exchange but it turns out the question I was being asked was “What is the exchange rate of (United Arab Emirates Dirhams) to Pounds Sterling”.

You almost feel bad laughing, but the stories are just too ridiculous n0t to. So if you’re feeling like you’ve reached the limit of incompetent people in your life check out http://goodaftermornings.blogspot.com/ because after you read a couple of these entities walking someone through how to use the printer for the tenth time doesn’t quite seem as bad anymore.

It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It and You Suck at Craigslist- Thumbs Up

You think that when trying to sell something that people would make an effort to put their best foot forward, using spell check and have someone look over their work before presenting it before their potential customers. Thankfully for these bloggers there are many who don’t seem to understand what kind of impression they are making, quite often with hilarious results. Both It’s Lovely! I’ll Take It!- A Collection of Poorly Chosen Photos From Real Estate Listing and You Suck at Craigslist are a collection of listings with serious flaws to them. It’s Lovely deals exclusively with real estate, finding pictures of front yards fixed by using MS Paint to make the grass just a little greener, pictures that have the current owners in them, pictures that literally have nothing to do with the house, houses with graffiti or incredible amounts of damages being sold for ridiculous prices and my favorite the white plastic chair pictures, which show up way more often then they should. Although the pictures are a find in themselves, I often find myself laughing to the point of tears once I read Sara Lorimer commentary on them. After reading this blog, you’ll never look at a white plastic chair the same way again. Also she’s sort it the posts by location so you can check to see terrible listings in your area!

When giant dogs attack!

The grass is always greener when you use MS Paint.

You Suck at Craigslist takes on all the wonderful, crazy and weird that Craigslist has to offer. There are the common mistakes like misspelling the item you are trying to sell as people attempt to sell their foozball, fuzzball, fosball, fuseball tables (although fuseball sounds like a fascinatingly dangerous game in itself!), the spam bots gone horribly wrong (I am quite sweet, FEMALETRAITS2, FEMALETRAITS3, and FEMALETRAITS4.), the bizarre personal ads (Being able to listen to lots of opinions I might have when I’m drunk is always a plus. So is knowing how to handle a gerbil. I have 7 and they are like my kids, I luv them, alot!!!) and everything in between (i cant get to my truck so i have to sell it test drives at ur own risk i cant go with you too many bees). Another great website to go to if you have a couple hours to kill- http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/

Too many bees.
