Everywhere i've worked, there's always some guy that looks vaguely like Thom York. What weird work quirks have you experienced across jobs? (lemm.ee)

for those who don't know, Thom York is the lead singer of Radiohead.

edit: ok, I’m SOOO glad its not just me. apparently, Thom York is not unique in his appearance. it would seem that a lot of people vaguely look like him.

One more step up the ladder is one I don’t come down from..

This hits on many levels friend! I hope somehow you end up leap frogging that shit and just being fortunate to skip that step in your pay grade aspirations! (Presuming the desire is linked to higher rate of pay and not a yearning to operate heavy machinery)

just to add to this I have worked at one more than one of the big fang tech companies and have traveled to multiple sites around the globe and now I'm thinking back I can confirm that I can identify at least 10 Thom Yorke's at each company. you are blowing my mind tonight.

no more than my mind is blown than knowing im not alone. for over 25 years I’ve thought I’ve been going crazy. to know I’m not alone has shook the foundations of my world.

more than that: at least 1-1.5% of this world may be vague Thom York clones.

and I’m ok with that.
