Always remember: If you think your job is useless someone somewhere is installing turn signals into BMWs.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow, you went there. It's bad enough their job is meaningless. I hope nobody who installs BMW turn signals has to see this post. In case they do see this - don't worry dears, one of them will get used someday... probably. /s

This has been Your Uncles On the Porch at Thanksgiving, a Merv Griffin production.

Don't forget: Everyone can be a patsy, and everyone has kidneys.
You're not as useless as you think!

I only ask that if you make this your life motto that you let other people know that you're useless.

I know too many people who spend an inordinate amount of energy convincing other people of how valuable and useful their presence will be only to completely and totally be useless because they are intentionally useless people.

I'm not talking about accidentally useless people.

I'm not talking about unintentionally useless people.

I'm talking about willful and intentionally useless people.

I volunteered to help my friend with his back patio, pavers, and made it very clear I'm offering my services as pyshical labor. Nothing more.

Donald Trump proves that's a lie...
