He spends 2 minutes speculating about the meaning of a 10-word sign whose meaning couldn’t be any clearer. He can’t really be as stupid as he appears, surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell people are resisting the urge to smack him. These guys almost did lol... 16 mins 30 onwards. Edited March 28 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know exactly what they are doing, their job is to antagonize whomever they come across to get views and reactions. They know all the rules and have an answer for everything, and they go in with the knowledge that about 90% of the people they film don't know the rules or laws. You can tell this because I don't think I've come across a video yet where there hasn't been a confrontation of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I was getting at. There aren't any non-confrontational videos posted because they won't get views or reactions. Every video starts with an intro of the argument brewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 29 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 29 Regarding my workplace, they seem utterly baffled that a company that works on UK and US military programs might be a bit curious about people knocking around outside filming and flying drones.

lapal_fan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Had the weirdest and probably worst works call ever yesterday. It was with a third party company we use for data analysis and I've only met the account manager once previously. She's a lovely Texan lady and she started the call by saying "we can do this call but my head won't be in it, on Sunday I lost a very close girlfriend, who self harmed in a very violent way. She didn't realise her two girls were in the house, who found her and I spoke to her almost everyday, it's true what they say, that you'd never guess who would do something like this to themselves" Me and my colleague were only there to introduce our new colleague (2 days in!). Obviously we said we wanted her to end the call and said we were both extremely sorry to hear that she was going through this very difficult time. It was utterly bizarre and awful. Hope she's ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why she was even in work and wasn't given compassionate leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Did everyone else play the card game Shithead at school? I'm wondering what regional variations are out there? In name and rules. Ace is high, 2's and 10's go on anything - 10's trashes the pack. 4 of a kind become the equivalent of a 10 and 9's are lower than a nine or another 9 or a 10) but can't be played on an ace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call was 4 days later. You’d think you’d just cancel the call in advance and give your reasons. And I’m guessing the answer to your question about compassionate leave is “because she’s in America” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of their illusion that they do these videos to help out the companies in question. Pointing out all the mistakes and security faults etc Which is obviously bollocks.

Yea she was in situ, in Dallas. It was very surprising to us that she was in work, as it was pretty evident she wasn't processing it very well, blurting out information which was pretty private. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
