I work at a hotel, yeah it's right under my info. I deal with hundreds of blue collar guys from pavers to electricians to carpenters and on and on. We have a waffle machine with a sign asking them to read the instructions next to it. The instructions are
1. Pour 1 cup into waffle iron.
2. Gently flip the handle so the timer counts down
3. Take out the waffle when it beeps
I am fucking staggered by the number of people who cannot accomplish this without my personal intervention!!! These are the people who make roads and buildings, but the instructions above are just too much for these idiots!
If you don't follow 2 correctly the stupid iron beeps like mad to let you know you're doing it wrong. Yet there are idiots who just sit in front of it until I show them how to do it with it beeping very loud right in their face. Like anyone would make a product that beeped loudly while in operation just to let you know I guess?
These geniuses required us to make yet more signs because they think they can think. They pour 2 cups in because more is better, and of course half of it goes freaking everywhere. Or they close the lid when done, when there's a big fucking sign with red letters telling them not to do that.
I've literally had entire crews line up, one AFTER the other, watch me show the guy in front the deal, and then not know it in the 2 minutes 30 seconds it took to get there. Over a dozen guys in a row sat there with it beeping until I told them to follow step 2. I thought they were fucking with me, but after listening to them talk I realized it was all too real, they were fucktards of high standing.
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are.
