Imagine how absolutely baffled the builder must've been at the unintentional power play. Reminds me of this classic snippet from Douglas Adams.

I would have snapped and then made an ass of myself, which tends to be the usual.

[-] lingh0e@lemmy.film 5 points 1 year ago

The last line really brings it home. It's like if an episode of Curb did a post credits sequence.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd completely forgotten about that amazing classic. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Hahaha oh man, I remember reading that story in Hitchhikers Guide, I can't believe that really happened to him. God that's so painfully awkward and even more painfully British.

If y'all don't know Fern Brady she is an absolute joy in series 14 of Taskmaster.

Did I meet those potatoes before?

The rightful queen!

Her book is wonderful. If you have someone neurodiverse in your life, I can't recommend it enough.

Yes, it was funny. But so insightful, too.

I love TM, I loved Fern on it, but most of all I Loved seeing her in that power rangers esque one piece.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I love the 'WhaHuh' sound she makes in the leader.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

“Our builder” means… they’re having their house remodeled?

[-] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 89 points 1 year ago

no, rich people just have a bodybuilder around to lift things and stuff

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

My other guess was personal trainer...

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I thought it was a kid putting together Legos all day

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

protip: plural of lego is lego.

it's not even an english word. the US is wrong... again.

[-] nantsuu@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

What do you mean it's not an English word? It's used in English-speaking countries by English speakers isn't it? Next are you gonna say that "ski" is also not an English word?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Of course. Who wants to lift things themselves, when you can have a peasant do it?

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's British

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

My wife does this too, except with penises

[-] Franklin@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can she give mine back, they tried to cast me for Ken

[-] benvars@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

It's like the tenth time I've seen this post but it still makes me laugh

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

That man was walking around all week trying to figure out if he ought to try to smash.

[-] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago
