She tried her best and that’s what counts

      Yeah, I’ve worked with people earning six figure salaries who problem solve like this.

    2. I imagine the girl calmly setting down the pen, walk out the front door and never returning.

      Who is that actress playing the mom? She is really captured watching your kid in disbelief lol.

    4. These these actors are just amazing. They are absolutely amazing and I love it! The boss is just amazing

      I’ve worked with people like that. I’ve had that look on my face several times.

      I work in IT and this routinely happens. I’m guilty of it too! That’s why we have peer reviews on tasks.

      “So uh…did you try rebooting it?”
      “What?! No. I need to figure out the root cause and–oh hey, rebooting it worked.”

      Me watching my kids complete a task. It’s painful to watch, even more painful to resist the urge to finish the task for them.

      Sometimes you do just get that petty, I’ll stubbornly vacuum over something 10 times even though I know I have to let it win and pick it up after the first attempt.

    10. This reminds me of my neighbors and they’re annoying mow-and-blow gardeners’ goddamn gas powered leaf blowers. God I hate those stinky, silence-killing devices (just use a rake or a broom on those 3 leaves!)

    11. This is how my wife and daughter do things.  Not joking either.  My wife will do something in word and Excel that should take 2 clicks and turns it into a 17 step process involving 3 other apps.   She can only have 1 app open at a time as well in windows.   She’ll open one app, do something, close it, open the other app, do something, close it and open the other app.  It’s freaking exhausting watching her do things.

      My daughter drops an ice cube on the floor and tries picking it up with her toes.  When that fails, she tries to get the dog to eat it.  When that fails, she calls for me.  When that fails, she kicks it under the refrigerator.   The worst part is, she’s 22 and still does this.
