I once had to look after a friend’s german shepard, and while we were out for a walk, some barking guinea pig suddenly decided to unleash all its fury on my friend’s dog; even tried to bite the poor guy.
Luckily, my friend’s dog is an absolute sweetheart and just tried to flee, almost knocking me over.
Meanwhile, the owner of that showbox-sized spawn of hell decided it was best practice to go “Nununu, we don’t do that, Nununu.” in a high-pitched voice, while petting the damn thing.
Sure. That’ll teach it.
This is the reason why I leave the shower running in every hotel I visit. And at the buffet, I tell the waiter to fetch me a trash can so I can actually get rid of the whole thing. If I can, I usually leave both a heater and an air conditioner running in the hallway.
Edit: Wow. I had completely forgotten about this comment. I really didn’t think anyone would take it seriously. I work with networks. I know we’re not literally going to run out of internet. But everyone treats bandwidth as this freely available resource. Advertisers, consumers, creatives and Jürgen. Fuck you, Jürgen. We both know that downloading 6 fucking MB every time someone wants to queue up the database is fucking insane, as is your reliance on client-side bullshit.
Anyway, whenever a anything loads slowly, think about why. Bandwith is not free. It’s a maintained resource.
