Some braindead monkey has set up his autoreply to overwrite the subject line of every email it replied to to something along the lines of "Automated response, Vacation Notice" which, of course didn't include the original ticket number anymore.

I have one, too. A hilarious one. 10 years ago, I took a new job. Wholesale. Small office, 8 people in total. For the first 3 weeks, I didn't do anything productive. I familiarised myself with the systems, programs, procedures and the articles we sell, buy and so on. Nobody, even my boss asked me what I was doing the whole time. But I'm sure some people were a bit angry at me. Then I started working. Within the first days of working, I got a big offer one of my colleagues made on my desk. I had to process it further. We got that order from the customer company, but our guy had vacation. So I did, 30 seconds. Then I did something else. An hour later, my boss asked me if I could finish the order to our supplier from that offer earlier. "It's a very big thing, but if we manage to order today, it will arrive then and then." He said. The look on my face must have been hilarious. Turns out the others in our office did the following. Write an offer. Get the order from the costumer, WRITE the assignment, then WRITE the order to the supplier and send it. After printing and mailing the assignment to the customer, the documents changed automatically to a order confirmation and then to the shipping papers and then to the invoice. I showed my boss how there is a menu, to take an offer over to an assignment, and a menu to take that over to an order for the supplier. Seconds! Then there was this look on his face, I had earlier. These guys wrote the same thing 3 to 4 times for 1 deal! That can be Hours for one deal, if it's a big deal with lots of positions. There were other things I discovered, I searched for. Also for other departments, like bookkeeping and storage. My colleagues minds where blown a couple of times.

the last one is the just i can just imagine the girl sitting there staring into her hands realizing that she just wasted the last 8 days of her life

[@unicorn3068]

did anyone else immediately remember RockyMoose from pro revenge?

[@samsote]

The last story really enlights me on why I get stuff done quickly. Whenever I have a tedious repetitive task, I always start looking for a faster more efficient way to do it. Sure I might spend an hour googling how to do it, but that still usually saves me 5 hours or more of work. And in the long run it really adds up.

[@Vi0letR0gue]

Me: comes onto youtube, sees rSlash uploaded My phone: sends me notification that rSlash has uploaded video while half way through said video 😑

[@dingodash4096]

Felt so hearbroken for the last girl and hate the way public schools totally lack to teach you these very basics things since computer rooms exist.

[@brooklyn7303]

Did you try turning it of and back on again?

[@BETRvids]

That last story. You feel bad for them, but you also know that you enlightened them and they are better off for it. I had the same feeling when I was helping a co-worker log into their computer, and they didn't realize what the numlock does.

[@peachypanda57]

do you think Karens watch readings with entitled people and wonder why everyone is upset?

[@rai1879]

My mom is one and she eavesdrop a lot when I'm watching this videos. She doesn't *get it* demands for an explanation, I explain and she gets mad at me for it. The logic 😂

[@JohnyMCness]

@@rai1879 i feel you, my mom is also such a person, good thing i got a...whatever its called on english a stay X distance away from me note for her xD

[@KaneLivesInDeath]

That second story is by far my favorite story from that subreddit! Imagine someone setting off a chain reaction of emails that quickly overloaded the server and had to be fixed quickly, only to start all over again when the IT missed a couple auto respond scrips 🤣🤣🤣

[@zhaoxinyang4333]

Umm I forgot the title of a vid where OP deleted a person’s bank account. I think it’s in malicious compliance, can someone pls help me find it

[@samuelding7854]

I remember a video like that, but I also don’t remember the title

[@kerdnerl8588]

I feel so sorry for the girl in the last story. My mom does this kinda stuff all the time, the other day she got some spamware add-ons for Google chrome cause she didn't know never click the first link, and when I figured it out I started laughing and was really rude about the whole thing

[@PhoenixNorthstar]

I'm sure this will get drowned in the comments, but I have my own tale from Tech support that anyone who finds this will hopefully get a kick out of. Backstory: Back in the late 90's I was a student at a College here in the UK. I wasn't on an IT course, but having grown up with an IT teacher for a Mom I was pretty tech savvy. Me, my girlfriend, and a few of our friends used to hang out at the main IT lab, just a large room with about 80 networked computers students used to type up assignments in rows of 10 and a big help desk sign in book, two admin terminals, and a side room with another 25 or so computers. The staff really didn't mind us just hanging out so long as we didn't disturb other students. The Story: On this day we were sitting at terminals by the help desk ostensibly working on an assignment but really just hanging out. Rather than just the one staff member on duty there were at least four staff members including the head of IT gathered around the admin terminals. Turns out they were upgrading the antivirus (winguard LOL) to the latest edition and were planning to roll it out not just here but across every computer in the College simultaneously. I already see this is a bad idea without a test case but I silently wish them luck. I'd expected there to maybe be a glitch or something. It turned out so much worse. They decided to install the new version of winguard directly onto the old version. These versions were different enough that they didn't recognize each other, so the old version saw its files being overwritten and identified the new version as an aggressive virus trying to disable it, and initiated antivirus protocols. The new version then saw the old version trying to delete it and identified the old program as a virus and tried to quarantine it. This was happening simultaneously on every computer on campus. As they fought back and forth I watched as the staff went from enthusiastic, to concerned, to panicking as every single computer in the room and on campus slowed, then froze, then blue screened, then froze on the blue screen. The Aftermath: I don't know everything that happened, but this was on a Wednesday and the entire network was still down when the weekend rolled around. When we came back in on Monday the staff had apparently been working all weekend and had to manually do a factory reset on each computer in the College one by one. It took them a couple of weeks to get everything back up and running. I have no idea how much data was lost or what it cost to fix, but fortunately for us students this was back in the days when all our work was stored on 3½ inch floppy discs.

[@dylpepperino3746]

Well i enjoyed

[@isoscelestriangle6542]

Someone stood up to a Karen? Such extraordinary event!

[@NukeNukedEarth]

lmao smh 2 person disliked without watching

[@DecisiveThreat204]

I've had so many calls from Karen's who demand people do whatever she says even if it's not our job. I'm so glad my mind doesn't let me say me nothing. I've been written up dozens of times for calling customers outright morons and telling them it sounds like a you problem not a me problem.

[@Dino-Pack]

So fast even rSlash hasn’t commented!

[@barakmadmon]

3:30 imagine you working then noticing you have 1000000 masseges unseen in the last half an hour

[@misyrrex]

I've never been so early, oh my

[@skyegoodman2574]

Same bud, go us

[@mxchih0e322]

Vanderwood the last time u were this early. Dumbledore was still alive

[@axiorsomethin8782]

I get what you mean

[@yvetteborowski1052]

I can say with absolute certainty that about .00000000000000000001 % of the population cares.

[@Chocolatemilkpro]

ive had stress nausea for the past month and my mornings suck. thank you, for putting your videos up early, my mornings are less sucky with idiots and karens to laugh at, or something wholesome to help me de-stress.

I came as soon as possible

Last Story I'm just feel so bad for her I was just kept on repeating "poor baby poor baby" she needs a hug

[@brittasfotkram4925]

Funfact: you haven’t watched the whole video

[@omarc7931]

Unless you watch it in speed

[@lukeyetsterjones]

I spent many years in a webhosting company as tech support, we had a simple response to karens like the one from the "delete my account" story, If its a business dont buy home hosting buy business hosting with the support/SLA/etc you need and spend more than the price of a cup of coffee a month on it!

[@omarc7931]

Hi reddit reading people There is this one R/video where a gay man in going on a vacation with his boyfriend but his homophobic boss is rude about his sexuality so the gay man got all of his gayest friends to dress the gayest and walk in the store and start to bother the manager. Now the manager doesn’t say a word. Dose anyone know the title of this video I’ve been looking for weeks help

[@silversnow3171]

Ohhhhh... that story was either 2-3 yrs ago but you could find that video under r/petty revenge since it was petty or under r/pro revenge playlist; might not be much help but does narrow down the category to 2.

[@idontusethisaccountanymore948]

I have corona🦠🦠 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@justmonez]

Sonic Evil side probably not because you’re laughing about it so nobody cares

[@omarc7931]

Silver snow thanks for helping I will link you the vid when I find it

[@IsYitzach]

Story 2 happened to Microsoft. I suspect that many large institutions have had this problem at least once.

[@dogekage]

Damn I'm late

[@viviennart]

This just clearly shows that Karen doesn't even know the basics of running a website... Lady, if you delete your "account" aka server, you lose EVERYTHING!

[@pyro2809]

ir says 23 seconds ago wow

[@LORDOFDORKNESS42]

Oh that poor, poor girl at the end there. I can just imagine the pure tedium, and the frustration on realizing it was all done the hardest and slowest way possible. She got a tale and a half out of it, at least. Do hope the office made sure to keep her, though. That's some level of determination to do your job!
