Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.


Many years ago I worked tech support for a software company. I had one caller who could not conceive that our software couldn’t print to two printers at once. She didn’t want to print to one then the other. She just kept repeating “this is the 21st century” whenever I tried to explain.
Eventually I told her it was a question for her IT and she went away.
Like the same job to multiple printers? I mean technically probably possible, but why?
Two printers will print it faster, of course.
I kinda get where shes coming from, but arguing with the support company like that is crazy.
My fault for being helpful before I suppose.
