Quotable quotes
February 1st, 2008
I’ve spent the day wabbing (WAB: verb, Work Avoidance Behavior) or rather doing online research and found some quotes that’s worth repeating. I’ll be updating this list as time goes on. Especially on Friday afternoons…
I’m in the live entertainment industry and we have quite a few gems:
“Backstage - Nowhere else on earth will you find so much high tech and so many low lives.”
“There are those who understand what they don’t manage and then there are those who manage what they do not understand.”
Other random Quotes:
“Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. This cannot be overstated.”
“Go ahead, I dare you. Try and touch my coffee mug. You’ll only do it once.
Household Dust: A Harmless Natural Occurrence Only Women Notice
The problem with the world is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
SergioThree: there’s other fish in the sea, man, she’s just a girl
Beatsfromkorea: no dude, that’s bullshit.
Beatsfromkorea: Think of it this way. if your precious copy of street fighter third strike broke and i told you “it’s ok man, there’s other games in the sea. here, play mortal kombat instead” what would you say? you’d be like, “fuck that, gimme third strike.”
SergioThree: …
SergioThree: you just reached me on a level that i never thought possible

One of the best comments I’ve ever read: (As seen on Digg…)
Tech expertise? The first google result says exactly how to do it. Open terminal, copy, and paste.
I fucking hate people who say things like, “Oh, I’m not good with computers.” No, you’re just fucking lazy. There is nothing inherently difficult about doing most things on a computer. You don’t need someone to explain everything. Just use fucking google. Write exactly what you need to know, click a few links, and bam, got it. How do you think I find things out? I was just born with the knowledge?
And no Mom, I don’t know why the printer isn’t working when you already told it to print. Do you really need me to come over, turn it off and on, and maybe try to print again? Beyond that you know just as much about how to solve the problem as me.
Sorry, it’s just so frustrating when people act like computers are difficult to work with. We aren’t feeding punch cards into machines any more. When faced with a difficult situation. (”What? No, I didn’t want to quit! I hope I don’t lose my document!”) try reading the dialogues and choosing the correct response.
Beyond that, google is your friend.
