Some of us still measure in yards, dear boy.

In the Uk, where most measurements are metric, we still measure that in inches.

I sure wish we Americans would switch over to metric already. I'm tired of men trying to tell me this

is six inches.

Too true!!!!!

Wow, I'm overweight and I weigh 75KG

Yeah, but I'm also about 1.96-meters in height, broad-shouldered, and genuinely "big boned" on top of being overweight. Like I've said in other posts, I'm a farkin' Behemoth.

Math is a four letter word for a REASON.

Yeah, it's shortened from "mathematics" so kids can use it as a swear. "You MATHHEAD!" "MATHHOLE!" "Math you!"

*flashes back to old TV show* "Mathematics, it's more than just arithmetic"

[Tria]

I consistently failed math in school so it makes little difference to me - either way, I still lose at life.

This thread reminded me of how one of my very gay co workers got quasi-flirted with by an older guy who thought he was talking to a woman on the phone.

Out of curiosity, how does your coworker know the old man wasn't gay as well? Just out of curiosity, of course.

Don't blast my fellow country people you're just jealous becuase we have hummus and falafel.

We have hummus and falafel. Though you can keep both of them, as far as I'm concerned, yech!

This thread reminded me of how one of my very gay co workers got quasi-flirted with by an older guy who thought he was talking to a woman on the phone. He was doing the whole "you have a nice voice" and calling him honey and darlin' and stuff. Poor co-worker didn't know what to say, he was all "I wanted to say something but how do you tell someone you're a dude when they've been flirting with you over the phone for the last 10 minutes?" He didn't want to be the catalyst for any strokes or heart attacks and just let it go.

Um, Solemnwarning, I weigh ~160kg, have a 'fighting weight' of ~125kg, and wouldn't weigh less than 100kg without getting an eating disorder or an amputation. If it's rated for 140kg, it can actually hold closer to 200kg, which means I can get up off ground level, as opposed to breaking the rungs on a wooden ladder.

While unusual, I am by no means unique in my build, and I really appreciate having ladders built with those kinds of specs.

So i went to the bathroom and cried for 5 minutes...

I've had those calls. You'll get used to it. I've been called everything under the sun since I started working customer care and none of it fazes me at all anymore.

'DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR OWN PRODUCTS ARE!!! Do even know what you are doing'

Nothing more irritating than the idiots who think they know more than you. Oh, but they've done research. Which means they've read the description on a couple of websites and maybe the reviews from others who have bought the item. Never mind that you represent the company that made the stupid thing, you're just a worthless customer care rep. These people can, in the words of Bender, bite my shiny metal ass.
