Honestly ..... "The guy that hired the clown" got me reading it. Only because I thought "What the heck? Who hires DJT??"

I'm pretty sure the emotional support clown would have been a better fit for his position

... no need to argue on that ...

Tangentially related, why would you fire someone just for fucking up? Everyone fucks up occasionally, an in my experience, the bigger the fuck up, the more diligent thay person will be in ensuring they don't do it again.

Not everyone wants to get better

I wanna know what he did though, spill the tea clown boy

Obligatory bachelor pad living room paint bucket.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

My biggest concern is that I'd hit my head on the counter when getting up from the loveseat.

Btw, paint buckets are OP. Nightstand, foot bath, laundry washing tub. What can't they do?

Its fine you just hit your head so many times that you learn to avoid it and hopefully you aren't a slow learner.

Then you get to enjoy watching others hit their head.

I use those corner bumpers for houses with toddlers. Every time a piece of furniture betrays me, it gets a bumper. That counter corner would get a pool noodle or pipe foam cover.

Why yes, I have bad proprioception and am covered in mystery bruises.

(Have talked to my doctor about the bruises and she is isn't worried. I've bruised like this for 30+ years.)

Mine is the mini fridge in the kitchen. I bachelored pretty hard back in the day but I need at least a 3/4 fridge.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

I had a mini fridge in my college apartment's kitchen. We also had a full-size fridge in the hallway outside the kitchen because that's where the heavy-duty outlet was. Maybe he just has a weird floorplan.

Props to the company for allowing it

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's better business to let him have the last laugh and avoid unpleasantness.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 13 points 5 days ago

It's better for everyone, but many companies would probably not have accepted this

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can do this too. What can they do, fire you?

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They can force the clown to leave

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

And make him sad?? Those monsters...

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

What an absolute fucking gangsta

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I mean I do have to say, they can stop you right? least if the company has any dress policy etc... they can request that the clown follow the companys dress policy when coming into the building... which if he complies I guess they can't stop you, but at that point I don't know if someone is technically a clown out of uniform.

I do wonder where the guy is now, as I'd be willing to bet his notoriety landed him some other job afterwards.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

they can request that the clown follow the companys dress policy when coming into the building...

I mean.... What are they going to do, fire him? If they physically prevented the clown from coming in, you could also dress as a clown and then be barred from the meeting you're being fired from.

Infinite employment hack.

CEOs hate this circus trick

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can take the man out of the clown suit but you can't take the clown out of the man.

As long as he's still furiously folding balloon animals while I'm getting canned, I'm still satisfied.

You can take the man out of the clown suit but you can’t take the clown out of the man.

Taking applications for lover; clowns only, please.

We're about to see if clowns are as good at stuffing things in as their cars suggest.
