    It ran great last year…..seems like I hear this one every year,from dead battery in boats, mice living under boat hoods, Ice augers with dry rot lines.
    I don’t know why it won’t cut… The blades on his auger must of been the ones that came with it, and even had a chip in it, I could of drilled a hole faster with a wooden spoon.
    I can only imagine what the shops hear that work on this stuff for a living.

    In my field people like to think a 3 inch pipe fits in a 3 inch hole or 30 x 40 duck fits in a 30 x 40 opening. rotflol

    Back when I worked and was in a car pool a lady asked when we drove past a frozen lake,”Is that ice frozen?”…..No the water is just stiff. doah

    My favorite is work, I build molds for a living and engineers question why stuff is so expensive. I asked them if they think we hold blueprints up to machine and it makes it? A few believe that?

    Ran when parked (describing any motorized equipment for sale with obvious neglect).
    It fit in the model (engineers).
    Anyone saying “literally” for any action they performed.
    Passive aggressive things like “I don’t hate that” or “I don’t disagree” when something controversial comes up.

    My favorite (or least favorite rotflol ) is when people claim their used item for sale in “like new” condition. Yeah, sorry, but your 2005 pickup with 120k miles is not like new.

    Craig I work in injection molding. We recently had a customer ask if we could get color chips made in the exact custom mold finish that we’ll be using in our mold (not a SPI grade…very custom) so they could know exactly what the parts would look like. It’s a glass filled PBT in a custom color and part geometry and gate location(s) aren’t even known yet. Can’t explain manufacturing to a bunch of marketing goons

    Though I’m not technically IT, I somehow ended up performing IT services for my work once word got out that I’m a computer nerd. The things I’ve seen and heard… doah

    One that comes to mind – an unorganized coworker had so much $hit piled on her desk near her keyboard that a folder was inadvertently holding down the escape key. Her complaint was that every time she opens a document or program it goes away! Well, yeah that’s what happens when you tap the escape key! We had a talk about desk organization shortly after.

    My all time favorite was a former friend that stated and firmly believed this, and I quote…

    “The ice will melt fast now we get an extra hour of sunlight”

    Referring to spring daylight savings.

    A few years ago at work someone at work was telling me about another employee had made some positive changes.

    “Yeah, you know, he did a complete 360…..”

    I lost my keys.

    Where did you lose them?

    A favorite conversation that I have all the time with my wife, when something is “lost”, and I start looking through drawers and such, is her saying “it’s not there”

    OK, if you know where it’s NOT, then tell me where it IS.

    Guy at boat landing: “Have any luck”

    Me…”Hi, How are you?”

    Guy at boat landing: “I Said, Have Any Luck?”

    Me…”I heard you, don’t like the question”

    What tacklebox is that “Luck” in again?

    What’s wrong with the question? Seems like friendly chit-chat to me.

    Being a master angler he doesn’t believe in luck. It’s his skill that catches fish.

    Was thinking the same thing. Kind of a prick response to a quick way of some one making small talk being polite.

    What’s wrong with the question? Seems like friendly chit-chat to me.

    If you say “Yes” it implies luck was the sole contributor to catching fish.
    If you say “No” it implies you couldn’t catch anything because you had no luck.

    I just don’t like the question. WHich is why i change the subject to “Hi, How are you?”. Willing to chit chat quite a bit, but do not enjoy “Have any luck!”

    Was thinking the same thing. Kind of a prick response to a quick way of some one making small talk being polite.

    Responding with “HI, How are you?” is a prick response?

    Responding that question with “I said, Having any luck” implies they are only looking for a fishing report and not interested in chit chat.

    I also just have never accepted “Luck” as anything realistic anywhere in my life. Don’t buy into rabbits feet, 13th floors, etc.

    “My alarm clock didn’t go off”

    Yeah – it’s the clock’s fault. What kind of ancient clock do you have? Did the internal spring break when you wound it? Did the hammer between the two bells come loose?

    What you meant to say is that “I failed to turn my alarm on” or “I set it for the correct time”

    I “could” care less.

    Really?

    Then it must not be that bad.

    If you said “I couldn’t care less” then I’d say you have a point.
