There's a house in my neighborhood that doesn't even have stairs leading to the front door. Like, the door is three feet in the air, no way to actually use it for anything except breaking your ankle while drinking at night.

It is a good way to keep the Jehovah's Witness and the Mormons at bay, to be fair.

    I worked for a tech giant that is a homonym of Sysco. The mandatory security training videos were I shit you not animated cartoon animals. I would be deeply concerned about security flaws in their products, except that I never encountered anyone there that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products, nor did I encounter anyone who themselves had ever encountered anyone that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products. This abstraction from the product line was actually a common topic of conversation there among the employees.

  • I worked for one company that had a CEO like this except he was also a heavy cocaine user. One time we had a client visit our offices for a meeting; we had written software for this client for more than ten years at that point. In the middle of the meeting the CEO wanders in randomly and starts just talking incessantly for 45 fucking minutes straight. Finally he slaps his thighs and says "so, do you think you want to do business with us?" We damn near lost the client over this.

  • I feed my local crows peanuts but they've never left any gifts for me. I thought that they were occasionally leaving berries and robin egg shells for me, but I eventually realized they were just puking that stuff up to make room for the peanuts.
