Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.
Not exactly to the title but I was alone with a coworker and explaining my precancerous cells I was being checked up on and a customer walked up as I was explaining.
He said, “that sounds like bullshit and I would know because I have a PHD.”
he was an idiot.
I have a buddy who’s about to get his PhD in math. He’s probably one of the dumbest guys I know. Don’t get me wrong, he’s incredibly smart and a very hard working. But also the guy can’t open a baby gate, even if show show him 3 times. We play a lot of non-voice acted video games together where you need to read stuff, and he mispronounces pretty much every word. Like, he isn’t even close on most of them.
As a PhD student you pretty quickly learn that everyone is barely holding it together. It’s the kind of work where you learn and discover the edges of knowledge and then forget how to eat
