Neither had I! I assumed it was a fake interaction that I was happy to take at face value because it’s entertaining - but it looks like it’s real. There’s one more screenshot of people offering him jobs in his DMs, but it’s not that interesting.
Far out. I've been in a Trainwreck Team as a contractor and I didn't bother answering to the BS the manager came up with, which ended in my contract not being renewed (thankfully).
I can't imagine how fed up this guy must have been to actually state "don't call me ever again".
I remember reading the original of these without the tagline up top. The guys name was Abs Delfuego (I’m not making this up, you can google him). He posted by omegaweapon on Reddit. He had a neighbor with a disabled son, and Abs made an arcade machine for him.
His wife had died a couple years prior, and he started a business making arcade cabinets and occasionally maki no custom machines for charities. After he lost his wife he just kinda started not caring about being polite. If anybody got uppity with him, he’d cancel the contract. Just flat out, here’s your money, I’m done.
There were a lot of unhappy bosses calling gabs to apologize. Also a lot of people threatening to sue. I wonder what happened to him.
Edit: Apparently I can’t read, and this wasn’t Abs. I could swear I read something similar from Abs, but as the first line calls the person Caleb, I was mistaken.
I’m with you. It’s a huge bugbear for me and I’m not even sure why it annoys me so much! But this is a cross post, I only censored identify info in the second photo to comply with the rules.
I double checked the rules of this community and it doesn't say anything about having to censor identity info, that was a reddit rule that you had to censor Twitter handles, usernames, and such.
