i worked with a guy in old job who had macular degeneration and he was running a huge (at the time) monitor at 640x480 just so he could read the text on his AS400 terminal session.

he also named all his variables in his programs A...Z with no indication for wtf they were for.

godspeed Ted, you were quietly the funniest loving person at that job.

It was either in here or in the shsc terrible coworkers thread that I read about the guy who was naming all his variables after the women in the office

guy with xps nostril cam

my school issued laptop had one of those. completely baffling design decision. it would have taken 5 seconds of user testing to demonstrate what a bad idea it was.

(in addition to being nostril cam, if you decided to use the keyboard, it was just knuckle cam)

when la croix was first trendy out here, a power move in the valley tech companies was to show up to a meeting with a flavor that your company didn't stock, implying that you'd been interviewing somewhere else

if it's just five minutes it's lame as hell to mention it

like i will tell my students "well, there's still half an hour left but we're done for today, you can just head out if you like"

but if i did that with five minutes left in the class? what a weenie move.

Professor who says to his class "I'll be back in just a moment" and then mutes but fails to turn off his camera as he hits an enormous bong, leading to videos of the incident being shared on Instagram

(Not me fortunately)

person unironically wearing a boom mic headset in a meeting at a company that is not nasa

our secretary does that. is that allowed? seems ergonomically better if you are on the phone all day.

i also did a few zoom glasses with my aviation headset to amuse the students.
