“Damnit my airpods have paired with my phone instead of my laptop again.”
“I… n’t receive… doc from… until yester… will repl… … rry the batteries in… pods dying… rejoin call on my phone.”
Fucking airpods. I hate them and I’ve never even owned any.
When they want to say “I don’t understand” they say “You’re not on mute but I still can’t hear you”
We get clients that send us screenshots but they use their phone to photograph their laptop
A curse for you: A crooked scan of a printout of a cell phone picture of someone’s screen, embedded in the first top left cell in an otherwise empty Excel document, attached to an email, with read receipts turned on. Marked urgent.
I actually once had a client do the image embedded in an Excel document thing. You know how people use Excel for absolutely everything, even when they shouldn’t? Yeah. Some people really live their lives that way. I pointed out that they could have just attached the picture by itself to the email, but did not receive a response. You can’t help some people.
Let me share my screen to you
And also with you
You cannot see my screen?
Can you hear me? My fucking headset again…
I think you’re on mute
If that sort of thing entertains you, you should check out Time Bandits (it’s from Apple TV originally I think but can be found on the high seas no drama), and one of the story threads deals with a girl of early secondary school age, left in a prehistoric time - and she ascends to being a leader, educating her tribe with her 2020’s saaarh laaahndan banter.
When they head back to find her, the tribe are all conversing like a mob of youths outside a McDonald’s on a Saturday afternoon. It’s absolutely brilliantly written and well worth a watch.
They remade Time Bandits? I gotta screen this for my dad, he loved the original.
