(pssst. sceptical is the British spelling of skeptical).

[–]wufoo2 16 points17 points ago

We went to war with them over that.

[–]AerialAmphibian 11 points12 points ago

Yeah, that was in 1776. Then in 1812 we went at it again over "colour". That was followed by skirmishes over elevators/lifts, trucks/lorries, gasoline/petrol, and the pronunciation of "schedule", "leisure" and "aluminum".

[–]Seanzie82 4 points5 points ago

Last I heard, both sides were stockpiling resources in case war broke out over "lieutenant."

[–]413x820 2 points3 points ago

I'm skeptical of this claim.

[–]wufoo2 3 points4 points ago

I will defend to the death your right to speak freely; but you will spell it right, or I will deport you.

[–]zomgwtfbbq 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of "Life of Brian", wherein the Roman guard lectures Brian on proper Latin grammar as Brian's painting graffiti.

[–]wiredpersona 0 points1 point ago

I love that scene. Brings me back to high school Latin class where we watched this.

You've got some misplaced scepticism then.

Where's the photo shop with SJP?

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 1 point2 points ago

That was actually the first "aha" moment when seeing the photo. Then I saw the tag and went "ahaha!" Then I realized that the Op wasn't that smart.......then I kinda did one of those Homer Simpson "owh's"

[–]Mileskitsune -1 points0 points ago

i assumed OP wore it on his head, cause horse head gag

[–]moyno85 48 points49 points ago

'cos she looks like a horse!!!! OMG!! Stop I can't breathe!!!

Is the joke that he isn't a bot?

[–]Mathesar 11 points12 points ago

I'm with you that I don't care if something is a repost, but most of them aren't bots.

You go here, enter the image URL, then it will spit out a nicely formatted table for you to post as a comment.

It's certainly possible to set up a bot to do this, but most doing it are not bots and are just individuals complaining about reposts and harvesting comment karma at the same time

[–]DownvoteALot 5 points6 points ago

And whenever you say you don't care about reposts, they repeat they only do it for people "seeking more info".

That may be true to some extent but de facto, people use those to complain about reposts. For instance, this got upvoted despite the fact that those posts have only one comment each. So much for "more info".

[–]filthwizard 48 points49 points ago

This joke is so old. Talk about flogging a dead horse.

[–]TheAceofdiamonds 6 points7 points ago

Please don't, this one would probably break.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 18 points19 points ago

facepalm

Wow. As a ex-Target employee, that's a firing, or at they very least, a long conversation with HR and your boss.

EDIT: Assuming the employee didn't take down his gag sign. There, everyone can do a happy dance because my comment is now complete.

[–]Magixren 6 points7 points ago

I thought ad signs weren't editable?

[–]Quentin_Compson 1 point2 points ago

I didn't think so either. If they were, my job on the sales floor would be a lot more fun.

[–]Magixren 1 point2 points ago

I mean since they're also the 8.5 by 11 perforated sheets to make signs, using word, you might be able to do this, but it would take some trial and error.

[–]Zan_is_Amazing 1 point2 points ago

They're not. Its fake.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 0 points1 point ago

I think you can create new ones if, for example, the batch your store received is missing some. Another reason would be if a sign has a typo on it, or a price correction is needed. But I don't believe, as far as I can recall, that you can edit existing signs, no.

[–]hi_its_steph 0 points1 point ago

As a target employee, and one thats work only in signing. You can't edit the signs. It would be mass chaos.

[–]ParAvion 4 points5 points ago

No. Unless the person had a very problematic history with the company there is no way that justifies being fired. It costs way too much to hire a brand new employee to do that. It would be a much better decision to have a talk about workplace professionalism with the employee.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 0 points1 point ago

Which is why I said, "at the very least, a long discussion with their boss and HR." I didn't suggest firing was the only option.

[–]TheUltimatum13 5 points6 points ago

As a former Target employee, they didn't get shit bad happening to them. Maybe a talking to.

[–]growamustache 10 points11 points ago

As the spouse of a person who was a manager at target, this is true. it's incredibly difficult to fire someone, and if you're a good worker, they would not fire you over this.

however, if you're a lazy asshole, they may use this as an opportunity to let you go.

Edit: showed my wife the pic, and she had seen it before internally to Target. She confirmed that the person almost certainly did not get fired for this.

[–]Zan_is_Amazing 2 points3 points ago

it's incredibly difficult to fire someone, and if you're a good worker, they would not fire you over this.

it's incredibly difficult to fire someone, and if they like you, they would not fire you over this.

FTFY

[–]TheUltimatum13 0 points1 point ago

I got away with shit like this all the time. I even got in fights with my managers sometimes. I did my job damn good so I knew they weren't planning on firing me but yeah, they don't really act on much unless they REALLY want to.

[–]BrianDawkins -4 points-3 points ago

I got away with shit like this all the time. I even got in fights with my managers sometimes.

Assholes like you deserve to have a shitty job at target.

[–]rogeris 0 points1 point ago

Fun fact: it doesn't suck to work at target and pay is pretty damn good.

[–]TheUltimatum13 -1 points0 points ago

Yup that is exactly it. I'm just a piece of shit. To be honest though, many of them were not me starting them and none of them were unwarranted. When someone is telling you the whole night that you aren't doing your job and is harassing you about every various little thing when in fact they short staffed hard and left just one person to manage half of the entire store himself it is actually rather obnoxious. Especially considering I did my job damn well there and got all my shit done. You can only take that shit for so long before some makes you snap. Also it is a shit boring job and finding ways to entertain yourself like with labels is a pretty small thing to do. But glad to see that you know so well about people and working in Target to know that I am just a shit person. Fuck off and die.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 0 points1 point ago

Which is why I said, "or at the very least, a long conversation with their boss and HR." I didn't say firing was the only option, just a possibility.

[–]ShoddyRapInBlue 1 point2 points ago

I figured someone was already quitting soon.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 0 points1 point ago

Heh. Could be, could be....

[–]rogeris 0 points1 point ago

As a team lead, I would laugh for a long time then tell them to take it down and avoid doing that in the future. You'd be a moron to punish that kind of a behavior so severely.

[–]JohnnyCastaway 1 point2 points ago

shrug I was basing my reply on my experiences. I don't think most of the team leads(certainly not my own, who was a bitchy South American woman) would have been as forgiving.

[–]rogeris 0 points1 point ago

There's always good leaders and bad leaders. The first thing I learned in retail management is to lighten up. So long as work is getting done efficiently and we're making sales, why not have some fun?

[–]ActionFlank -3 points-2 points ago

Assuming the employee taking the picture didn't switch the tag back.

[–]JohnnyCastaway -4 points-3 points ago

Yes, assuming that. Still not a bright thing to do.

[–]ReUsable_Tampon 2 points3 points ago

Why do I always have to scroll down to the comments to understand what's going? =/

[–]REDBULLgivesUupvotes 10 points11 points ago

All SJP jokes aside, who on earth would buy this??

[–]Schmich 2 points3 points ago

OMG WHAT IS SARAH JESSICA PARKER DOING IN MY BED!

[–]thinks_its_4chan 0 points1 point ago

I would remove the head off of a dead horse and place this one in the hole where the real head used to be. Then I would beat it with my rigid cock over and over until I came. Beating a dead horse is fun.

[–]bsteeper -1 points0 points ago

Oh yes

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 2 points3 points ago

People like pictures and statues of horses and Lions and stuff like that, I think it makes them feel rich.

[–]Narwhalxxx -1 points0 points ago

I have one for reasons I am unsure of.

[–]redman2532 0 points1 point ago

If you were Matthew Broaderick, you would bang it

[–]WyoBuckeye 12 points13 points ago

Somebody should be fired for using a joke that worn out.

[–]l1nk1npark 2 points3 points ago

The guy who actually made the tag, and not OP who thought this picture was funny and took it from Tumblr?

[–]Shoblast 0 points1 point ago

that took some gall,op is not that attractive himself

[–]TargetTeamMember 1 point2 points ago

Nobody, because those signs can be printed in the backroom, so it was probably taken down immediately after the picture was taken. That is if it's not 'shopped.

[–]Zan_is_Amazing 1 point2 points ago

It is fake. You cannot edit the signage.

[–]TargetTeamMember 0 points1 point ago

You can print arbitrary signs, though. So, it could be real, it's just probably not.

[–]CuriousGeorgia 3 points4 points ago

I find Sarah Jessica Parker's jokes very bully of the internet. It's not nice.

[–]41571 -1 points0 points ago

I dunno. Looks pretty accurate to me.

[–]nohbodyshome 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to lean on the side of photoshopped, simply because that's not how the signing labels work at Target. Unless he scanned something called Sarah Jessica Parker ceramic, which I'm pretty sure Target doesn't sell (most Target stores sell the same crap just different arrangement), and sent it to the labeling printer so it can be printed on that 3x5 it wouldn't have come out that way.

I would need to see the whole sign, and the orginal shelf label for proof.

[–]aexc17 -1 points0 points ago

Nice, one of the funniest references to the transvestite donkey witch that is Sarah Jessica Parker I've seen.

[–]G3Px -1 points0 points ago
