Some motherfucker in the lab I work in left an open(!) gallon jug of 95% methanol (toxic, extremely flammable, burns with an invisible flame) just sitting in the fume hood, with the exhaust fan off. Couldn't be bothered to take the 15 seconds and screw the lid back on return it to the flammables cabinet, which is like 5 feet away from the fume hood. I know who did it, even if I have no direct evidence. Who knows how long that shit has been sitting there, evaporating away. 

And of course we get safety audited, and the safety nazis wrote us up for it (as they should have). 

So now we all have to take a chemical safety course. 4 hours sitting in room listening to some 20 year old nerd drone on. We're lucky we didn't fined. 

Sweartogod, post docs are some of the dumbest assholes alive. I'm surprised the dumb motherfucker didn't light a cigarette and immolate himself like a Buddhist monk while he was in there dicking around. 

And the dingle-cherry on the shit sundae is that I have been assigned by the lab director to inventory all the chemicals and make sure they are all properly stored, with the proper paperwork filed with the safety nazis. Because the post doc who left the shit out in the first place is too busy to do it. 

 

 

Sabotage his laser by smudging grease over the lens.

Indycar pit fires were wild for years because of this stuff. Burns invisible, if you didn't know.

I have a project at work that requires caveman technology because Amish. I have been looking for an old John Deere/WheelHorse/Eaton transmission for a couple of weeks using every network I can think of. I finally posted my search to a tractor/garden tractor forum that I use occasionally. Of course , the first several responses are suggesting that I look on craigslist, ebay and facebook. No shit? Thanks, I never woulda thought of that. I thought maybe asking a group of dedicated hobbyists might get it in front of a wider audience. It's a canadian website so I suppose they are just being goshdarned nice.

I like cats. But they don't belong in a bar/cafe. Nor does your obnoxious puppy or rottweiler.

Next time I hear "can you watch my dog" going to say sure, then leave with it.

Obviously a scam because Leon already has your personal and banking information

What’s ridiculous about the above is how lazy the scammer is. Gmail address? Really?  IRS? Refund?  Cmon, man. It’s like he’s not even trying to steal my money.

When you text customer service and immediately get 4 messages back, the first that your message has been received, the second from a 'person' who introduces themselves, a third from said 'person' who says they will be happy to help, and then a fourth from said 'person' asking if this is my preferred phone number. Motherfucker that could have been one, maybe two messages, and I wouldn't have had to hear 4 notification dings in short succession. And no, I don't want you to email me, I gave you a burner phone number and that should be good enough.

 

 

Also that there's no setting on my phone that will automatically suppress notification dings for the next few minutes after one is received unless i reset it by checking the notifications in between.
