Friday OT #1 - You're Just a Turd Out There

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I'm fine at leaving a voice message and like Cooler I try to say my phone number slowly and twice. I can't stand when someone leaves a voice message and just rattles off a call back number so quickly.

What I'm awful at is setting up a secondary greeting on my work phone for when I am out of office. I always stammer and stutter over the begin and end days/dates.

I have started to just restate my name and number if I hit a wall on what I'm saying. Has made things better, that's the main thing you want to get across anyhow.

I can not shave without getting water all over the counter. My wife now leaves out a specific wash cloth just for me to wipe up the counter after shaving.

I can parallel park as well as anybody but sometimes have a really hard time perpendicular parking.

Shave in the shower at the end, soooooo much easier.

I've tried that. Too often, I miss spots. Plus, it makes it more likely that I'll get a razor cut on my neck.

I just hate talking on the phone in general. It’s probably the millennial in me but if it’s something that can be discussed with a quick email or text, I’ll go that route as much as possible. I’m completely comfortable talking in person to friends, strangers, etc. but something about on the phone that I hate

I also hate talking on the phone, especially if I can send an email. I have people who I work with who feel like they HAVE to call me about things and leave me a voicemail if I'm not there. Just email me. I will respond sooner and more accurately. And we'll have a record of it.

The other day while I was getting ready for work, I got a toe hooked on the inseam of my pants while putting a leg in and ended up doing the Humpty Dance in my bedroom.

Humpty Dance. Is that what the kids are calling what goes on in the bedroom these days?

Pooping at work. Hate it.

That's a fairly common one. I enjoy pooping at work. Is that normal?

Pooping at work. Hate it.

I personally enjoy pooping on the clock.

 

[cyclone101]

Hate people that leave a 2-second voice mail that only says "It's xxx. Call me." I can see by the caller ID who it is and that you called.

Voicemail lady: "Please enter your password. You have one new message and zero saved messages. To play your messages, press 1. To access your personal options press 2. To..."
Caller: "Hey, call me."

Thanks ****head!

If you're good at something, never do it for free.

I would more if our building didn't have the kitchen right next to the bathroom. It's a terrible layout.

I also see Angie "liked" this. I am uncertain about what parts you two are missing while shaving in the shower, and kinda curious but not at the same time, but I don't have much trouble with a quick rub of my hand. I also only shave my face.

After I manscape I like to pejazzle.

Try shaving your knee in the shower while getting everything AND not cutting yourself, and you'll see why I liked it.

Once I switched to this, I'll never go back. Saves time and wife complaining about leftover hair in the sink.

My wife always forgets to set her vacation message at work and then tries to do it while we are on the drive home. She usually screws it up twice, and then hits me while I laugh at her.

If she waits to get home to do it, I'm like a 9 year old in the background trying to mess her up.

I don’t think I have hair on my knees and I’m not pulling my pants down now to check.

I like how it softens up the whiskers and they don’t pull like when I try to do it otherwise.

Basically, if you can say something in one text, text. If it will take multiple texts, call.

In my line of work email is vital as a record. It drives me absolutely nuts when contractors call about minutia on their project without referring to a drawing or having one in front of them...just; "yeah, you know the door in that wall by the bathroom..."

No, I don't f@cking know because we could be talking about a hundred f@cking doors. Ask in an email and give me some f@cking context. Or better yet, ask using the forms that you agreed to when you signed the f@cking contract.

I can't think of one thing I do that can't be expedited faster and/or more efficiently by email rather than jabber-jacking on the f@cking phone.
