If you really stop to look around you, it’s shocking how many small absurdities are out there just because people don’t think things through:
- Web sites with an article’s date in a small font and today’s date in a big prominent font
- Switching from walking to running in front of moving traffic when the light turns green instead of stopping at the median
- Referring friends to work at a startup that has screwed you in the past because you think management has learned its lesson
- Plunging headfirst into the middle of massive rapids on a riverboard
- Not cutting your fingernails when you spend all day typing
- Writing a blog post full of drivel instead of writing inspirational copy for your brave new startup
And that’s just the first 1/3 of the day….
I totally agree with your 5th point “Not cutting your fingernails when you spend all day typing” – I can’t stand that “clickity clacking” sound when people with their nails “done” type around me.
Not to mention that it can’t be comfortable to do all day.
“Referring friends to work at a startup that has screwed you in the past because you think management has learned its lesson” – Nice!
