Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Need this on a coffee mug so I can take slow, thoughtful drinks out of it while talking with my boss :-)

I got back from work couple hours ago. A french couple in their 50s, who only spoke french, bought 40+ music CDs. They waited patiently till I was done bagging them to yell at me, in perfect french (which I don't speak, btw, I only understand it a little bit) that the price was excessively high. I told them that the price was correct, since the fucking machine doesn't lie.

I then had to unbag the CDs, pass them through the scanner one by one and wait while they compared each price tag to the price that appeared on the screen.

After scanning them all again, and arriving at the original total price, they proceeded to literally throw the money at me (some of the bills fell to the floor) while murmuring in fast french and throwing hateful looks my way.

The worst part about my job is that, at times, it's so mind numbingly slow that I want to kill myself in a violent, messy fashion in the break room. At other times, I'm talking to some insane asshole with an ungodly inflated sense of entitlement while at the same time completely lacking in any sort of technical knowledge that would come from 5 effing minutes of research on cnet or some bullshit like that. Ecommerce is a soul sucking environment that attracts the lowest, bottom of the barrel, shit eating customers. Fuck!

[–]b4freedom 1 point2 points ago

I don't think this is true. I'd wager $10 that if you polled 1000 of your customers not a single one would admit to eating shit.

I hate this job. This zoo. This prison. This workplace, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the stupid, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste the stupid and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.

I just had a client ask how to install a printer on Windows 7, I told him to turn it on. He was stunned. Viola! Magic!

I'm an engineer and at work they created an entire job/department so we can't speak directly to the customer. I love it.

[–]b4freedom 0 points1 point ago

Why don't we have that?

[–]TypicalAnonymous 0 points1 point ago

It sometimes creates delays but engineers just aren't that good with people! We say "that's stupid" to customers too much

[–]b4freedom 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I do that all of the time. I cut to the issue and don't polish it with niceties. Most of the time the customer has no idea what they want or don't know what they are talking about, the sales team has promised too much, and the managers are as good as walking zombies.

[–]TypicalAnonymous 0 points1 point ago

Same here. Marketing promises X number of units by a certain date. Then manufacturing needs to save some money after a quarter ends (lots of overtime) so they reduce workforce. Now customer service reps look at engineering for some kind of miracle cure to fix everything.

We (engineering) have no problem looking a customer in the face and canceling an order because they forgot some key component and telling them its their fault.

I work in a retail company's call center. This woman tossed her TV out because she said it was broke..... and then called us up and told us we had to replace it under her extended warranty. The pic, is exactly what I was feeling.

Heh, that's been the image I use on forums and currently facebook as well for over a year now. I'm not sure where it originated from but I originally snagged it from a PZ Myers article about fundies.

I would actually like to know the source.

Agreed.

[–]SociableIntrovert 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agreed. If I had a quarter for every time I had to speak with someone that locked themselves out of their apartment only to then get upset and say it was someone else's fault, I could buy two and a half internets.

I don't mind the customers too much. My coworkers, on the other hand, make me feel this way.

How funny, I just had a customer who didn't even know how to restart their computer. If there was a picture that could represent my constant headache, this would be it. Thank you!

The worst is when things don't go the customer's way and they invent some sort of horrible experience to get someone in trouble.

I've had this stuck to the wall of my office for about 2 years now... it helps just to look at it after getting stupid user calls.

I feel the exact way with my coworkers. I'm the youngest in my work group and I thought I'd be the stupid one and I'd be learning new shit and everything would be awesome. Unfortunately that's not the case. All fucking worthless.

I had a customer ask me to turn that image into a background for their IP phones. He was fired a month later. Guess that attitude isn't very healthy when you're actually supposed to help people, lol.

I sell and fix computers. I can most definitely relate to this.

related: I once worked for a company that hired a consultant that specialized in "Windows Treatment". The boss who hired consultant wasn't there the day he came in for a consultantion. 12 IT guys sitting in a room when a consultant walks in with catologs of curtains and blinds.

[–]Daedalus07 0 points1 point ago

I laughed so hard at this. I could just imagine how awkward that must have been for the consultant.

Funny, this is how I feel when I hear people complain about how hard their job is when they work in a fucking cubicle 5 days a week 8 hours a day. Edit: I just realized this applies to at least half of reddit as I always hear people say "oh reddit i was at work and on reddit blah blah blah" Fucking bums.

[–]worff 7 points8 points ago

Complaining about fucking pants-on-head retarded customers is NOT the same thing as complaining about your job.
