WIDTS: Nop, no brane abornalities here.
Does it bother anyone else when you receive a statement from an alleged professional that contradicts itself?
To wit, the following statement:
Thank you for considering Denseon for the payment plus program. We had a project with Mountain View previously and it’s paid in full. As of now, we do not have any upcoming jobs. Denseon will only accept payment by credit card in the future if it’s for incidental work meaning under $5k. Much larger projects will have to be paid by credit card due to high costs in fees.
Thanks for talking yourself into this payment program and being so CLEARLY stupid…
Me: Hey dude, I need you to change this note because it references things that will confuse the customer.
Co-worker: How should I word the note then?
WIDTS: You are a graduate in Communications and you would like me to tell you what to write? Can you get a refund on your tuition, or maybe some refresher courses from your alma mater?
Working at a call center where we use VoIP.
Boss reprimands me for setting up PC profiles that allegedly do not allow users to save documents to the machine instead of the cloud drive with the reason “I don’t want the potential loss of internet to get in the way of our production.”
Um… Alrighty then
From today’s “They turned off their brain” file:
Supplier sent in an enrollment form completely filled out, faxed it in and then called to ask what other information we needed.
WIDTS: Well… the form was completely filled out, so… I will need the account numbers and passwords for every financial account you own or have control over.
Note I received from a supplier today when they were asked if they required the CVV2 code on the back of credit cards to process a credit card payment:
Require Zip Code card is tide to.
WIDTS: Are you expecting a flood of payments?
Happened upon this in a Yard Sale group on FB:
WIDTS: Are you really, really interested in knowing what it’s all about? THEN FOLLOW THE GOD DAMN INSTRUCTIONS! You all FAIL!!
Saw this email signature block today:

WIDTS: If little things matter ALSO, you suck. If little things matter to YOU, well then may I recommend breast augmentation?
