This is a question My job: Expectation vs Reality

When I worked as a window cleaner, everybody - and I mean everybody - I knew asked me the "how's yer father" question. The truth was that I was always knackered and freezing, and the only nudity I saw was some fat bloke's arse. Tell us how your work differs from the expectation.

Thanks to Rotating Wobbly Hat for the idea

TTT
People think it's difficult to snare a moron on a site like this but it's surprisingly easy. For example, noted spastic, retard and troll Dr. Shambolic falls for pretty much everything you might want to throw his way, though you have to watch out for his obnoxious compulsion to have the last word on everything. This can get tricky, because for example when we recently had a contre-temps regarding French releases of international toys, he was too stupid to understand why I specified the toy company's name with regard to a product they released that already contained another toy company's name. In order to get his point across, Dr. S needed to delete not one, but two lots of my replies, which just about made the whole exercise worthwhile.

TL:DR - Shambo's a stupid prick who's easily wound up.

There seem to be loads of people on here who want the last word on everything
Personally, I can't be bothered. It's a comedy website, who gives a fuck?

Yeah you certainly aren't coming across as being a wound up nob when nobody else cares.

Settle down, no need to get upset.

I couldn't care less
But it's interesting that you feel the need to have the last word

You're like a bargain basement Shambo, like if we needed a version of him that was even more mentally crippled or something

I hope this whole thing develops into a massive fight for the last reply.

I've not been involved so far... am I eligible for the last word?

It's good to see he's not bitter about it.

(, Fri 9 May 2014, 17:58, closed)
I'd hate to think that a dozen words tapped lazily into the internet could have caused him to seethe for a fortnight in the real world

(, Fri 9 May 2014, 18:01, closed)
Yeah, but he's got a pizza oven. Hasn't he told you?

(, Fri 9 May 2014, 15:44, closed)
Why mock the oven?
I'd quite like a pizza oven. It seems like a nice, civilised thing to have.
(, Fri 9 May 2014, 15:48, closed)
Not mocking the oven.
As he isn't mocking my job. I'm mocking the fact that this is obviously his proudest achievement, an achievement so great that he's forever bleating on about it.

Won't add fuck all to the property value either.

And I enjoy the fact that it upset him so much, he put me on ignore.
(, Fri 9 May 2014, 15:54, closed)
He obviously is a sensitive soul, who doesn't have much in his life
so by mocking his pizza oven, you've mocked his entire existence.

It may well.
But he's ignoring me, the sensitive old-chap, so you won't see half the thread.

Shall we do a sweepstake on what percentage are emvee and Albert definitely not being upset?
I'll open with 78%

it's where you are so definitely not upset about somebody teasing you on the internet that you start a new thread whimpering and moaning about it three weeks later in order to demonstrate that you're definitely not upset at all definitely

It's the signifier that's puzzling me more than the signified.
