"This memo pad is designed to "engage people with the problem of hair loss." The hair becomes thinner as the memo sheets are used. Offensive or humorous? Take our survey below the jump."

because what guys who are losing their hair really want is a daily reminder of the process?
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
A post-it note pad is going to "engage people with the problem of hair loss"? O RLY?

Quick, make an app! (I always thought the red gem guy was unfairly treated.)

Since the person already has "everything", that would include them already having a button that says "I have everything" on it, thus it would have probably made more sense to give them a button that says "nothing" on it, but since they have "everything", they probably have that one as well...

What the person who has everything really needs... is storage space.

If someone has everything then you can't give them anything because it would, by definition, already be theirs.

"Dear Simon, Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required. Regards, David."

We are told in this actual caption that folks in a protest march are carrying a “turd-shaped balloon.” Where on earth do you even go to BUY such a thing?

El. Oh. El. You gotta be some sort of stupid to friend your boss before your probation period is up. Fired in front of friends and family? PRICELESS.

She's a f*ing idiot. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine at an ad agency, who accidentally texted "my boss is a fucking cunt" ... to her boss. She didn't get fired or reprimanded, but she freaked out about it.

It floors me how much people openly vent about their jobs on public feeds like FriendFeed. Even if your boss isn't a direct contact, how are people so sure that a boss or co-worker won't stumble across it?

If I have complaints about work, I try to mask them as much as possible or make them more about me personally than the job itself. At the same time, I really try to stay mum about any job I have..
- Jonathan Hardesty
Mike and how are you so sure that other people don't know who you are talking about? There's a person here on FriendFeed who complains about their coworker. Even though I live in a different city, I know that coworker.
- Anika
+1 Anika. I generally refrain from talking bad about my employer/coworkers ANYWHERE online. Even on anonymous accounts. You just never know who might freak out and file an unmasking court order. It's happened before.

Maybe the more general rule that comes into play here is to never say anything about someone you wouldn't tell them to their face.

What an idiot... When people claim we don't need guidelines for employees using social media, I just have to point out cases of extreme stupidity like this...
- Badger Gravling
Well someone has to make room for other people! From the sounds of it, she was probably already canned anyway.
- Robert Fisher
Well that was a bit dumb. The thing about social media is it's just so much a part of our lives. We are encouraged to pour our views and feelings into it but we have to remember who is going to be reading it. In the end we have to censor ourselves so as a result our lifestream is a watered down stream. There are no directors cuts.
- Parvez Halim
Interestingly, every time I consider complaining about my job via any social media platform, I stop and think "how can I make my job better? how can I improve myself?" and then end up writing about that instead. It has made me a much happier person. Really.
- mike fabio
.. and that's why I'm private. I'm pretty good about not talking about work, but never know when I may say something completely stupid
- Rodfather
I think there is a serious point here: Your on-line social network pals will be supportive of you regardless of whether you are right or wrong. That's what friends are for, kind of. All the boss does is let in a bit of reality.
- sjjh
Maybe she wanted to be fired by her boss? Just questioning...

Splendid. Too bad the story isn't real. OR IS IT...?

I do so love the false sense of anonymity the Internet instills in people.
- matthew john ernisse
Where did you get this? I'm trying to verify that it is actually a real event. Looks too 'perfect' and to generate this much hype I believe it is just two friends that wanted to laugh about how stupid the world is...

Zee: Not sure which looks tastier! ;) Oh, and welcome to Italy! If you happen to get up towards Venice, look me up! :P

I bet she was asking you: "This or ME?" and you hesitated... :p

Zee - can i ask how you got a hold of that size of nutella? Edit: Just realized you are in Italy - wondering how I can get a hold of that here in Canada
- Wang Yip
WOW!!!! that's amazing!!! Here's a cute story for you. My husband (while we were dating - if you can call it that) got me hooked on Nutella. I liked it so much, it ended up in our wedding cake!!!! I still salivate thinking about my gorgeous wedding cake. Every other layer was Nutella then raspberry, then Nutella, then raspberry. It was an awesome cake. Our best man (who was a...
