You know what’s great? That this site puts “golden oldies” on for people such as myself that haven’t seen them before. Some complain about repeats or fails that have been found on other sites. Thank goodness not everyone is so rigid that it keeps people such as myself from enjoying re-run fails.
I know a young woman that literally goes on point whenever she hears a fire truck siren. If they are going past her building, she runs outside and waves.
You’re so cute Avis. I need five of them too, but for completely different reasons. I need one to do the dishes. One to do the laundry. One to vacuum. One to dust and do windows. And the fifth one……………He needs to clean the shower……….while it’s running…………with him inside……….and me in there making sure that he doesn’t miss any important “spots”.
Alright – sanity check. I have multiple problems this morning, so maybe I’m just losing it.
I have a wireless device (Apple AirPort Extreme) that’s not responding at a remote location. They called me this morning, saying they couldn’t get a computer to connect to the system or internet. The reason is because it’s only means of connection is this wireless device. So I asked them to unplug the device, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in and call me back. An hour and a half later, I can see on my network map the device is still down. I called them back and now have a second person trying to figure out how to unplug a white box from the wall and plug it back in.
Does that really sound that freakin complicated to anyone? Find white box, remove it from power plug in wall, wait 5 seconds, put white box back where you found it, call me back. Why is it, 15 minutes and two employees later, this device is STILL down?
*knows not to try to find snacks at this particular location*
We also have an AirPort (don’t know how Extreme it is though), and just now my computer lost contact with it. It’s in the same room!! It sits roughly eight feet away from the computer!! Then, it just “fixed” itself, all in about sixty seconds.
How many white boxes are in that room?
Yes. It’s 3 inches by 3.5 inches by one inch and solid white. Plugged straight into the wall with an ethernet cable running from it to an ethernet plug on the wall nearby. It has what’s likely a solid green light on the side that should be flashing rapidly, it might be orange because it’s malfunctioning.
The device is STILL down. Almost 3 hours and 2 employees later. I bet they make me drive out there to do this. What fun, a couple of hours of driving to spend 10 seconds unplugging and plugging a device back in, then another couple of hours of driving.

I hate the Apple Airport personally. It can always get better though, they could be trying to simultaneously connect a Mac and a Vista PC. The Vista PC’s always like to mess with you then.
Reminds me of the last time I had to deal with something like that. The guys were trying to force an RJ-11 into the RJ-45 port for the WAN.
Update: IBM showed up (I did mention multiple problems this morning, right?), checked out the failing tape drive, confirmed the replacement is on order and checked if they can do it Saturday (they have to take the damned server down to replace it, so it has to be after-hours).
This AirPort Express in question is STILL down, over 3 hours and 2 employees later. I never would have guessed “unplug it, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in” would be so challenging. In fact I would almost guess something else was wrong, except 1. it worked for years until 6:08 last night and 2. they are supposed to call me afterward and haven’t done so yet. Neither of them.
Yes, that kind of tape, but typically either 8mm or 1/2 inch size cartridges. It’s still a very common media for long term storage, and the newer tapes have capacities measured in Terabytes.
8mm, 20GB tapes for compressed daily backups. Thankfully I have a spare “test” system sitting around to backup to, I haven’t had a successful tape backup since last Thursday and I’m not likely to get one before Thursday, maybe as late as Saturday.
This makes me as nervous as a kitteh on a hot tin roof.
Update: I finally got around to checking my network map (will this day EVER end???) and apparently someone got that remote AirPort Express working again at 2:43. Not bad, roughly 4 hours for 2 guys to figure out how to unplug something and plug it back in.
Oh my, I did mangle that more than I had realized. At the last minute I tried to reconstruct the pun into a “did he die” variation. I ended up all wet.
I don’t find that interesting at all.
Nothing to say there was somebody behind the camera.
If there was, it was probably a rather large affair (after all, this was filmed in the 80′s, I think).
…and looking at it again… even with lightening fast reactions, unless you’re standing on solid ground, and have unearthly strength, there’s not a lot you could do about it.
Off topic: One of our drivers just came in and asked me to do him a favor. If another (specific) driver calls, he wants me to put the other driver on hold for 20 minutes to half an hour! I asked what the other driver had done, and the first driver said, “Oh, nothing.”
Trolls are nothing but low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worms! Hanging’s too good for them. Burning’s too good for them! They should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!

I can leave it home, when I think it’s gonna get me in trouble,

remember what I did with it.

This happened in one of the large industrial bakeries where I worked:
One of our guys (not the brightest one) was up on a ladder cleaning dust from the ceiling beams. This was about 35 feet up, and he was just using an extension ladder rather than an electric work platform, and working alone.
Someone saw this, and yelled up to the guy that he should at least tie a rope from the beams to himself in case the ladder slipped.
When he came back later, the guy on the ladder had, in fact, gone and found a rope, and tied one end to the beams and the other end to himself.
That’s my idea of a perfect fail. It has a moustache, lots of irony, a bit of action – another person unwillingly being involved in said action – and a laughing cameraman. It’s all there
Bloody Hell this brings back memories…It’s from a show called Weirs Way that used to air in the 1980s – my dad used to force me to watch it as a kid…This clip was a staple of It’ll be Alright on the Night and other ‘blooper’ type progs
It’s funnier because he’s from Yorkshire. It wouldn’t be half as good if it were someone from, say, Glasgow or Liverpool falling into shit…on second thoughts – maybe it would be

Wait.
FIVE???
Yes, one to ply the feathered fan, one to rub my feet, one to hold my giant glass of strawberry daiquiri, and one to feed me bon-bons.
The fifth one is in case one of the others needs a break.
You’re so cute Avis. I need five of them too, but for completely different reasons. I need one to do the dishes. One to do the laundry. One to vacuum. One to dust and do windows. And the fifth one……………He needs to clean the shower……….while it’s running…………with him inside……….and me in there making sure that he doesn’t miss any important “spots”.

I’d be happy with just one.
~What could you do with “just one” fireman?~

Brewski needs a fireman? Is his pu$$y stuck up a tree?
In that case, I may need ten. Watching firemen do housework just might qualify as p0rn!!

Yes. It’s 3 inches by 3.5 inches by one inch and solid white. Plugged straight into the wall with an ethernet cable running from it to an ethernet plug on the wall nearby.

Yes, that kind of tape, but typically either 8mm or 1/2 inch size cartridges. It’s still a very common media for long term storage, and the newer tapes have capacities measured in Terabytes.

Ah, I see. Carry on then!
What’s killing me is I am reading it as if you were actually yelling. I think I’ve spent too much time on the computer.
*Snickers*
YES, I KNOW. VERY IMPROPER BLOG ETIQUETTE. WHAT’S A FP TO DO?
*Snickers s’more*
Well LGB, this might be a great time to relieve yourself of any latent hostility that you’ve been holding onto. You’re already set for it.
SHUP, BRO!
@ 3BS: I REALLY DON’T HAVE ANY HOSTILITY, LATENT OR OTHERWISE. I’M JUST DOING A FELLOW FAIL PEEP’S BIDDING.
Would you like to borrow some of MY hostility? I have both kinds; latent and overt. You’re welcome to either.
*offers LGB some of her hostility, too*
Ooooh, we can dump extra hostility here?
*backs in a dump truck*
You’re gonna need a bigger truck.
I always thought angels weren’t allowed any hostility? :S
Hmmm…….I suspect that I’ve fallen.

Sweet? Me? Huh. I guess you really are what you eat.

Awww. I feel so accepted…
You’re minty and refreshing. Welcome.
I don’t find that interesting at all.
Nothing to say there was somebody behind the camera.
If there was, it was probably a rather large affair (after all, this was filmed in the 80′s, I think).
…and looking at it again… even with lightening fast reactions, unless you’re standing on solid ground, and have unearthly strength, there’s not a lot you could do about it.
:[
Yeah, I don’t think she “got it” either.
*squeeze*
Ai haz teh sadz fer hur.
And lightening fast reflexes to boot!
I beat my standing record of a 14 hour response.
It’s the working, you see… it gets in the way.
And spammer goes bye-bye! Wheeeeeee! Course now the comments are screwy, but who cares?
that’s not a safety rope.. that’s a prevent fun rope
Wow, 20 years after I first saw this, it’s still funny.
That’s what she said.
…on their 20th anniversary.
*giggles*
*points and giggles*
He was right. A good solid safety rope is essential. Look what happens when you don’t have one.
Off topic: One of our drivers just came in and asked me to do him a favor. If another (specific) driver calls, he wants me to put the other driver on hold for 20 minutes to half an hour! I asked what the other driver had done, and the first driver said, “Oh, nothing.”
I sense evil afoot.
Me likey.
wel.. THIS IS A REAL FAIL…
I don’t want that thing back. :ick: Bukkit’s by the sink. Don’t forget the bleach.
He just wanted to make a point why a GOOD AND SOLID rope is essential. Now i totally understand.

Hahaha that was hilarious, hope they are ok with just a few bruises
atleast they had a safety rope : )

I see bloggie nommed my clickie post. I hope he enjoyed it.
*wonders why everyone is over at the previous fail, feeding a troll*
What kind of troll?
I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t like what he said to LeiLei.
Sometimes a mushy’s gotta do what a mushy’s gotta do.
Oh, I understand. I’ve had many time when I just couldn’t not tell a troll off.
It’s best to try and ignore them but even then is difficult.
*Squeezes the sweet little mushy and everyone else*
You know my history with trolls. Sometimes I can’t stop myself.

So sorry I missed the troll. My driving isn’t up to snuff these days.
So we shouldn’t start calling you “Marius Andretti?”
I’m more of a “Marius Cart” driver now.
Sometimes it’s rather amusing to see them lash out.
Getting them really riled up can be amusing!
*noms cookie*
What are trolls good for if we can’t play with them from time to time?
Mulch.
*snork!*
First target practice. THEN mulch.
Trolls are nothing but low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worms! Hanging’s too good for them. Burning’s too good for them! They should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!
And there was mulch rejoicing!
Let ‘em play soccer on the archery field.
Marius. Heavy Metal. Niiiiiiiiiiice.
Is THAT where I know that line from!?!
Yeesh! It’s been a few years. Wait. Does a decade count as “a few years”?
ZA’S SNACKS.
I’m getting the feeling I missed something fun.
I’m not sure how much fun it really was, but at least I learned to type in blue.

LEILA!
Wait. No. No. No. I am protecting him from all the naughtiness that goes around. I am old enough to be his mother. Ew!
He’s 16. A pretty good age to start with the naughtiness, I’d say.
What? No!!!
*paddles AE on the bum*
*click!*
Why do you think I was shocked?
I know you would never.
*thinks about the age differences around here*
*feels old*
Hey, my baby is 22. Thank the lordy I don’t look my age. I refuse to act my age as well.
I don’t think a single person here acts their age.
See above.
Nyah!
>:p
I’m married, and I don’t act my age very often.

Aw, give the kid a break sis. Boys will be boys ya know. How about no spam for a week?.
Apparently you have 5bird disease. Let me erase that period for you.
*erases*
That was to prevent pregnant pauses.
On second thought AE, don’t even go there. I wouldn’t even wipe that disease off my boot, I’d just throw the pair away.
I’m sorry, Marius. It was a really bad joke.
I RELISH YOUR POINT OF VIEW, 4MS.
I’m glad, otherwise I might be in a bit of a pickle.

Ketchup cuz I am leaving you behind.
Pickle surprise?!?!
Haven’t had that gem for a while.
YOU’RE SO SAUCY, SIS!
…and you are so colorful and cute – like the leaning to the right kinda cute.
Wow! Sister relationships are much better online.
TELL ME ABOUT IT. I HAVEN’T GOTTEN ALONG WITH MINE IN A LOOOONG TIME. YEARS. WE BARELY SPEAK.
I’m fortunate. I’m very close with all three of my sisters. (Well, four if you include Judy.)
I barely started liking mine. Like about 10 years ago or so. Growing up with those two was hell!!! I hate being the middle child.
Yeah. Sisters are a real pain in da aspartame.
*Sweetsqueezes*
*Heads for the hills*
I AM THE YOUNGEST, MY SISTER IS OLDER. SHE REALLY USED TO TERRORIZE ME WHEN WE WERE KIDS. AS WE GOT OLDER, I SLOWLY CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT SHE JUDGED ME FOR SO MANY THINGS, AND THAT SHE DIDN’T REALLY VALUE ME AS A PERSON OR OUR RELATIONSHIP. SO, THAT’S WHERE IT STANDS.
I have no sisters…but plenty of sistahs!
OK, LGB, it was cute, but reading that much in bold blue italics is really annoying. Could that stop now? Please?
*squeeze*
ASK LEILA, SCOTTY. I’M POWERLESS.
I hope that didn’t sound harsh sweetie. You’re just talking about something serious, and it’s very distracting.
*squeezes*
Leila? Please let LGB of the hook. Pwety pllllleeeease.
I get along with my sister much better since we don’t live under the same roof anymore.
*adds vote to stop with the weird fonts*
I actually am not even reading your posts, dearest, because it’s so distracting.
I, for one, think it’s a very nice gesture.
I still read your posts LGB. Even in uppercase blue, I love you always.
But I will sign on with the stopping that vote.
Pretty please Leila.

I love the Swiss. They are a warm and thoughtful crowd. So far, it’s my favorite travel spot. Morgin, Switzerland was absolutely fabulous.
I have nothing against the Swiss BB. It was a quote from The Tick cartoon.

This happened in one of the large industrial bakeries where I worked:
One of our guys (not the brightest one) was up on a ladder cleaning dust from the ceiling beams. This was about 35 feet up, and he was just using an extension ladder rather than an electric work platform, and working alone.
Someone saw this, and yelled up to the guy that he should at least tie a rope from the beams to himself in case the ladder slipped.
When he came back later, the guy on the ladder had, in fact, gone and found a rope, and tied one end to the beams and the other end to himself.
Around his neck.
well the helmet didn’t seem to work either
fake
Simply marvelous!!
I didn’t kill my wife.
I don’t care
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!………….Thats Freakin Hilarious!!!!!!
That’s my idea of a perfect fail. It has a moustache, lots of irony, a bit of action – another person unwillingly being involved in said action – and a laughing cameraman. It’s all there
This vid was on the UK ITV show You’ve Been Framed about 15-20 years ago back when Jeremy Beadle (aka The Claw) was presenting it.
Nice water slide!!!!!
Water slide win
Bloody Hell this brings back memories…It’s from a show called Weirs Way that used to air in the 1980s – my dad used to force me to watch it as a kid…This clip was a staple of It’ll be Alright on the Night and other ‘blooper’ type progs
Thanks for breaking the rope and hitting rock bottom, mate.
It’s funnier because he’s from Yorkshire. It wouldn’t be half as good if it were someone from, say, Glasgow or Liverpool falling into shit…on second thoughts – maybe it would be
hahahahahah………. como movia esas paticas xD
Actually an actual and literal Fail.
“If I tug on this I fail”
Wow this is an old clip. I remember seeing this on the first series of ‘You’ve Been Framed’, about 20 years ago! I won best of the series if I remember correctly.
