4 Reasons Why You Never Fire Someone Before The End Of Their Shift

Office Space - The MovieGot this in the mail and couldn’t help but giggle at the ones I hadn’t seen before. As the wise Bobs once said in Office Space:

Peter Gibbons: You’re gonna lay off Samir and Michael?

Bob Slydell: Oh yeah, we’re gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that’s the usual deal.

Bob Porter: Standard operating procedure.

Peter Gibbons: Do they know this yet?

Bob Slydell: No. No, of course not. We find it’s always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there’s less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.

Obviously, these people’s managers didn’t follow that advice!

Why would you abbreviate “shopped” which is an abbreviation to begin with?

And who cares if it’s photoshopped? That’s like refusing to laugh at a joke because it’s a hypothetical situation.

“So a blonde walks into a bar, and…”
“Wait. Did this really happen? Or is this a joke.”
“Erm…a joke. Why do you ask?”
“SHOP’D!”

Furthermore, why the hell do I care so much about random comments?

Anyhow, I laughed, photoshopped or not. Nice find.

Taylor, i agree with you on the shopped comment, but it’s not funny because of the set up, which makes you believe that all of these actually took place. The fact that they didn’t doesn’t make them as funny. The website could have started “what if,” in which case it still wouldn’t even really be that funny unless it actually happened.
