That’s not a thumbtack – It’s a push pin. There’s a bit of a difference
Yes, win? No thumbtacks were harmed…
Tis still amusing however.
Lol
It *is* a push-pin though, so not a fail…
The problem with pushpins is they’re flat and sometimes near-impossible to remove. Push-pins have something to grab onto, so are easy to take out.
Fail fail.
What a difference that hyphen makes (or is your puchpin a thumbtack?).
damn, *pushpin*
well..technically…it’s still a fail….’cuz the stated fail is FAIL.
Then I think it’s slightly amusing that The Management would go so far as to prove its point, “See, I’m not using a thumbtack!”
they should use needle… and assume the paper is like a voodoo doll!!~
looks like somebody stepped in the management
My first thought exactly…
win.
I was going to say…
pwnage
Stupid management….
Stupid person who posted this fail…
Stupid thumbtack!
technically, it’s a push pin ;P
Why is this a management fail? Hypocrisy is a requirement for the position. Management WIN, and you get back to work now FAIL.
Please refrain from stating your worthless opinions regarding management attitude
Thank you
- The Management
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
– The Management
We apologise for the lack of FAIL in this “fail.” Those responsible have been sacked.
- The Management
You can just go ahead and move a little bit to the left. Yeah, that’s it. Great.
-The Management
Ahh, I’m going to have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday, too…
– The Management
Staples can not be used either!
– The Management
What about the easy button?
I may be uncomplicated but I am NOT easy!
Sez you.
:p
No fair tellin’.
It’s an intentional fail in all probability. Think of all the places you’ve ever worked and ask yourself 1) has “the management” ever referred to itself as “the management”? and 2) why am I touching myself there?
1) Yes. If not “the management” then just simply “management,” or even “mgt.” Usually in not very high paying jobs, though.
2) I don’t know. Why are you touching yourself there? I’m intrigued.
Is this the kind of nonsense that goes on in normal offices?
obviously, have you ever read Dilbert?
And offices are where it’s least intense. Ever had a summer job at a 7/11?
That’s pushpin, not a thumbtack… so, technicality win,
it’s not a win.
Not first!
yes! i’m to late again ffs!
Stop posting please you gigantic tool.
He’s a larger tool than the LHC.
Largest tool, yes, but not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Couple of sandwiches short of a picnic.
A couple of fries short of a Happy Meal.
Playing with a 49-card deck.
Takes him 1.5 hours to watch “60 Minutes”.
His belt doesn’t go through all the loops.
A few colors shy of a box of crayons.
Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn’t watching.
A few beers short of a six-pack.
A couple miles short of a marathon.
Has a photographic memory, but the lens cover is glued on.
(Damn your good at these)
Uses “your” instead of “you’re”.
wotta you using my your for?
He’s got a couple of screws loose.
He’s so dense that light bends around him.
He’s so thick, you can use him to grout bathroom tile.
His elevator doesn’t go to the top floor.
His knife doesn’t quite cut the bread…
He couldn’t pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the bottom of the heel.
His whites don’t quite provide the “lift”, in his soufflé.
*nomnom*
(Happy not included)
thats not a thumb-tac.
This is not a fail.
Over-zealous pedantry WIN!
It’s also not a SeaTac.
*sniff sniff*
I sense a Tacoma-roma!
Tacoma Dome Aroma.
Ooooh! Are you from WA?
I am
oh,oh,oh I am
or a TicTac
Paddywhack
That should say “The Man”
Lol that would be funny.
It’s just another example of the Man trying to keep us down!
Keeping us under his thumb.
Women can be managers too!
Know who else was sexist? HITLER! You Nazis.
It’s going to take awhile for my eyebrows to grow back.
Serves you right. :p
I agree. Hitler was oooh so sexy! Especially in those jack boots and tight black uniform and….Did you say “sexist” or “sexy”?
Bre doesn’t go well with Chico’s.
dilettante – you should read more Dilbert (google Dilbert comic). That gives you an idea of what happens in the better offices. In others, it doesn’t rise to the level of humor.
“Wait, are you aware of Garfield??”
Thumbtacks are the little metal ones that are flat on top, and push pins are the ones kind of shaped like top hats, right?
So then this is not a fail…?
I wasn’t aware they had different names, I just call them ‘pins’.
Heh, I just call them tacks.
What do you call a push-pin in a galaxy far, far away?
A tack of the clones.
*groans*
You may groan but your comment wasn’t any worse then the last three
Star Wars movies. And a hell of a lot shorter to have to sit through.
no kidding, the script was much, much better, to be sure.
And the acting was definitely better!
I smell Oscar.
I bet he smells like trash. He lives in a garbage can, after all.
Yeah… I was hoping for cookie monster.
Noooo!!! The worst pun I’ve seen on this site!! Uber win for RogueThree!! Stay on target.
Potáto, potà to, tomáto… whatever
I say tomato, you say whatever? Let’s call the whole thing off.
I say tomato, you say tomato, i say we’ve agreed on our favourite pizza topping then.
No need to get saucy!
I prefer the taste of sausage though
Uh-Oh.
*ducks*
Better have an umbrella handy.
Riot shield is more like it.
*geese*
*gooses*
Hey! Bad touch!
Chicken.
Crazy old hen.
Hey! No fowl play!!
*quails*
*flies the coop*
No need to get all emu.
*fills the cup*
*sigh* birds of a feather…
Now that’s a bit of Ostrich, don’t you think?
So much so it should be ill eagle.
Don’t want things to get auk-ward.
Too late.
‘Scuse me for a sec…I gotta hawk a loogy.
This is all becoming a bit much to swallow.
Did it suddenly get as cold as a witch’s tit in here?
Maybe, it might be cold for one, but toucan cuddle for warmth.
Be swift, or you will egret it.
It’s almost enough to put Heron your chest.
Wren are you going to stop crowing about that??
Ibis wondering when we should stop this.
Eh…it was a lark for a while. Is it my tern, you loon?
*runs!*
No, we have not. My favorite pizza topping is CHEEZ!
*cheese*
I can haz idiot?
Grammar fail. *Can I have an idiot?*
Nope, this one’s more of a moron.
*masturbates*
wanna try my topping? *mastah-baits*
I think thumbtacks aren’t really used anymore, and people use the pushpins instead. I remember plenty of time in which the thumbtack broke just as I was pushing it into the wall, and the little metal pin got shoved into my thumb… I think this is why they were replaced.
So the thumbtack is the one that looks like a smartie withe a hard-on?
damn, added a silent “e”.
with a hard-on. yes. (:
I don’t think this is a fail. The memo stated no thumbtacks. The memo was not posted with a thumbtack, but a push pin. Where is the fail?
Well, if you don’t bother to trouble your pretty little head wondering WHY thumbtacks are usually banned, I can see how you could not understand the fail.

The round head isn’t the problem. Its the pointy bits at the other end, which both the pushpin and the thumbtack share.
Not buying it. Thumbtacks are more difficult, especially on the finger nails. Push pins come out easily. Also, thumbtacks can land on the floor, pointy side up, push pins are not as dangerous.
How tacky.
He gets to the point though!
Yep, he’s sharp as a, well, you know.
What a bunch of pricks!
(don’t hate me, that was posted purely for its punnery).
You didn’t show much tack-t in posting that.
His tacktics are most questionable.
But I’m on pins and needles.
Just so long as you’re not wobbly on your pins, you’re okay.
Whew! That could have been a sticky situation!
Not as bad a situation as a bulletin your head.
Just adhere to the rules and we can avoid that.
That advice pretty much nailed it.
The underpinnings of your argument are persuasive.
You guys give sharp advice.
I am transfixed by this thread.
Good point.
You’ve hit the nail right on the head here.
You’re a dumbass. There are two problems with thumbtacks.
1) They’re hard to grab onto to pull out of the wall.
2) If they fall the the floor, they’re much more likely to land on the flat part with the pointy side sticking up.
Oh but the problem IS with the round head. It’s much harder to pull out thumbtacks than push pins, as thumbtack heads are right up against the wall and you have to try and pry them out. Push pins come out quite easily.
Or perhaps they wish to discourage the use of thumbtacks, which require the digging of fingernails to extract, and encourage the use of pushpins, whose design allows for a less awkward removal.
Or maybe I’m a ‘TARD.
Well, you’re partially correct. The last part.
I agree with you. When you drop a thumbtack, it can land with the pointly end up; when you drop a push pin, chances are it will land on its side and not be stepped on.
Reminds me of the Obama campaign. Do as I say, not as I do you bastards!
Right. . . and the McCain campaign? Vote moar Lizard People ‘08?
Lizard people with lipstick.
and rifles and no care for the environment.
Says Loz, who has unnatural rainbows in his(her?) avatar…
Tell your rainbow-pooping unicorn to stop leaving metal oxide salts in our oxygen supply, huh?
Her*
My rainbow is completely natural, I went the alternative route and cultivated it from water droplets and refracted light.
Holy crap Loz, I thought you were trying to take over the world one sprinkler at a time! *returns sprinkler to normal, upright position with tray table closed* Now that we’ve cleared that up, I have to go water my lawn.
The droplets will be landing on the lawn shortly. Thank you for flying Rainbow Air. Where metal oxide salts are our business.
Way to bring politics into it. Lame.
If the pig fits . . .
screw it? or maybe that’s “pooch”.
Don’t you mean if the My Lovely Puppy fits?
FailedOnce: “If the pig fits . . .”
.
Make her your VP candidate.
I lol’d.
I roffled.
Put some lipstick on her, though.
A push pin is a type of thumb-tack.
In german there isn’t even a different word for these two things.
Language fail
The Germans don’t have seperate words for beastiality and sodomy either, so what’s your point?
It has been noted that the more a culture is familiar with a certain object, behavior, etc, the more words they have to describe it. So pun-isher, what culture are you from?
Uh… not to burst your bubble, but that means we non-Germans have more words for such activities and therefore are more familiar with it.
Uh, I think that was the point.
Sorry, my brain hadn’t had quite enough caffeine when I posted that.
*surreptitiously passes Avis a cup of coffee*
Any more and I’ll get jittery. I’ve had several sodas now.
Well, the words are used in all english speaking cultures. knowlege of a foreign language would, according to steriotype humour, exclude me from said cultures.
Good thing we’re writing in English, then.
Damn, must learn to scroll down before answering. good one Kerfuffle.
and this is how corporate management works. you can’t, we can, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
… except bring in an AK-47 and blow your heads off.
Oh, we try to discourage our staff from that sort of behavior here. Next to this sign there’s a sign that says “Please refrain from bringing in AK-47’s… thanks, Management”. It’s pinned up with a bayonet.
I lol’d.
I think the fail isn’t in the use of thumb tacks or push pins, but in the fact that the management thought such an announcement was important enough to post in the first place.
Passive-Aggressive notes FTW
Please Refrain from Useless_Comment Use.
Thank you.
-The Management.
I love lamp.
IT SMELLS LIKE BIGFOOT’S DICK!
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT!
LOUD NOISES!
My cat’s breath smells like cat-food.
I like turtles.
It’s turtles all the way down.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is genuine, and not just the fruit of 5 seconds effort just to weaken failblog even more.
failblog sucks
Then why post here? You fail.
There are 20 other juneaus? You fail much.
Maybe they will get it right with number 22.
Don’t hold your breath.
a pillow over the face works much better
Refrain from thumbtack use.
They’re serious
:[
Poke
Pay!
Damn *pays*
Excerpt from “Don’t Eat Your Desk!”
Eating a bowl of thumbtacks will keep you feeling full all the way to the hospital.
Preparation H substitute: FAIL.
The City of Burlingame (California) has posters on their lampposts declaring it illegal to put posters on public property (i.e. lampposts).
that isn’t a thumb tack it is a push pin….thumb tacks are a biotch to pull out, this is a ‘poster of picture’ fail
How about Random And Useless use of CAPITALIZATION Fail?
Oxymoron, win.
