Some fake things that aren't real are low key really importsnt

it’s infuriating when the customer is wrong yes we all know this. however it’s probably 10000x worse when the customer is right, because what do you MEAN my coworker deleted 7 of your fucking accounts off of your profile when you just wanted to edit them and now I have to deal with it??? i can’t even be pissed that you’re being a bitch about it because i would be too!!! fuck!!!!

[prismatic-bell]

Pro tip for when you run into this:

1) take a deep, irritated breath and go "oh" in a voice of sudden, ground-down revelation. Let the customer hear you.

2) "you're right. I see what they did. That is...okay. I don't know why they did this. Let me straighten it out. I'm so sorry." <- do this in a tone that makes it clear Your Coworker Is A Moron. Now it's not you versus the customer, it's You And The Customer Versus This Dumbassery.

It won't make the rest of the job any easier, but it should defuse the customer.

[madgastronomer]

Good advice, but also, when you are the customer, don't be nasty to the person who didn't screw up. It's not their fault.

[mousebrarian]

And if you do go off at someone whose fault it isn't, apologize. "I'm sorry. I know it's not your fault," can go a very long way.

last week I was deep in the trenches ploughing through work and mid-afternoon realised I'd neglected to open the blinds and the room was a little dim, so I got up to do that and discovered that a car had flipped onto its roof directly outside my flat and the entire street was closed and flooded with emergency service while they dragged someone out of the vehicle and packed them into an ambulance. so now every time I open the blinds I'm a little like the dog with the ham sandwich bush. what the fuck could it be today.

Always great when this is the thumbnail of the weeks forecast

Update: I think they found this post because they changed their scale

[spontaneousmusicalnumber]

Some of you are mistaking the second graphic for the overall temperature. This is Iowa. 70ºF air temp is a comfortable day here.

These are dew points. This graphic is saying that there is so much water in the air that at 70ºF or below (21ºC) dew forms. Dew points like this only usually happen with 90º and up weather- thats 32ºC. In this weather I come out of a 68º building and my glasses immediately fog up because they're below the dew point.

“Your move Kaiba” is the best way to end every sentence because it a. Signals to your conversation partner that it is their turn to contribute and b. Reminds them constantly of your undying passion for yugioh

adulthood notes:

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.

not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

[madgastronomer]

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

[knitmeapony]

I had a high school science teacher who would say "if you admit you're wrong and change your mind..." and the whole class would respond back "... you aren't wrong anymore!"

And when a kid would assert something incorrect In class, he wouldn't tell them they were wrong, he would help lead them to the right answer and then when they admitted/ accepted the new information, he'd say "now we're both right! Nice work!"

For a bunch of gifted kids whose identity and reputation often was staked on knowing more than most people, it was a great safety valve. No shame in making a mistake, because if you accept it you have learned! Now you are smarter! It always made me feel better.
