Why is everything I touch today so FUCKED

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This.

At work, the battery for a pinpad on a safe with lots of money in it died, so I couldn't close the door.

I got sent a pair of left handed scissors when it should have been right handed.

So annoying!

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's bizarre. The other way around is common, because there are so many more right handed pairs in the world...but surely they know exactly how many lefties they're supplying?

It's unthinkable that someone might have an EXTRA set of lefty scissors. Normally there aren't enough!

Yeah, I’m going to have to place another order with my work and specify I need right handed scissors.

First time for everything.
