You would be surprised how many people just go "Yeah it's no problem, I'll grab that thing even though I clocked out" instead of "nah, I'm not getting paid I'm not doing it"

Continuation of "how about a nice pizza part after hours unpaid?" "PAY US MORE MONEY"
Depending on how familiar I am with the sound tech, I like to vary between the standard "check 1-2, testing testing. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Spinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Richard of York gave battle in vain." to "this is your mic checker, checking in. It's a balmy room temperature in here, uhhhhhhhhh...." and then talk like a airline pilot giving the pre-flight speech. Or even start making basically every audible sound I can think of that they might be dealing with while also trying to make the tech laugh because I know he's usually super serious and doesn't get anything other than the usual "check one two three" 9/10 times.
Some people should really meet my transporter pattern buffer...
Numbers can drown the stars.
Just ask the Tyranid.
You'd think if the state were so sure of its case, it would happily continue to prove guilt later on and wouldn't need to rely on PRESUMED guilt.
I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I've seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.
One of my wife's friends gets really upset when people call it Twitter for some reason. She doesn't even use it. Just gets irate and reminds everyone the name was changed so if you want people to know what you're talking about you should call it X.
Strange hill to choose...
I officially have no idea what's going on...
Am I out of touch?... No, it's the young who are wrong!
People in positions of power saying shit like this just makes me want to ditch my smartphone ever harder.
I'm fully aware of what I can do to stop it.
But then other people wouldn't get to gear the wonderful clanging sound!
And they need to know!
So stop it I shan't.
It adds up quickly. Especially when you take into account just how many people it happens to.
Not to mention just how many people have to do things related to their job that they don't get any compensation for.
My job requires me to spend about 15 minutes at the end of the day on a computer. But I have to clock out in order to finalize my shift. So I basically do 15 minutes of work every day without pay. I always wait until 15 minutes into my drive home to clock out though, so I'm still getting the compensation.
