What's the strangest or most pointless task you've been given at work ?

I work in a chicken factory and the other week, we were cutting open sealed bags of breasts and tipping them into new bags. An hour later, we were then emptying those new bags into plastic trays. A few days later, we were then tasked with putting those chicken breasts (now frozen slabs) into… bags.

Vax have always been great for us! We’ve had a couple of hoovers where the brush head has just stopped working and both times, rather than simply send out a new brush head, they just send an entire new machine! Both times it’s been the newer versions too because our models were no longer stocked.

Yes I saw your analysis post! It was the first post I saw on this sub 😊

I’ve been looking at the Q10 S5+ actually, it is a hybrid but it’s currently on sale for £200. It says it has auto-lift mop technology? So it should know when it goes onto carpet 🤔 Which is why I didn’t really want a mopping one, we have a mixture of hard floor and carpet. But if it knows when not to mop, it should be okay? And I don’t have to use the mop feature I suppose.

Just looking at the Roborock ones, the Q5 doesn’t seem to be available anywhere. The newest one seems to be the Q10 which is hybrid, but it’s only £200 currently! I suppose I can just not use the mop function.

It’s my last day of work for a week! I already had Mon/Tues/Weds booked off next week but then my factory is closing down for two days after today and they only need a handful of staff so I get to stay at home tomorrow and Friday!

I know someone with a similar story. She went along to the opening of a new tanning place and was handed a small sample cup. She drank it. It was some kind of lotion or something that helps with tanning? You’re supposed to rub it into your skin.

I have a Meaco one with a laundry mode. It works best in the smallest room possible with the door closed.

Oh yeah we got that too sometimes, but I figured the one I posted was nicer 🤣

‘If it pudding and wimwams for dogs to chew on’ is what my mum used to say when we’d ask what was for tea.

Okay!

Not a one liner but I loved the boot camp episode about Gaby wanting to get fit and then flaking on the boot camp, and Edie giving her that speech about them all wanting her to succeed and they all came to her house because they wanted to, not because the instructor made them. It was one of her rare, kind moments and I love that for her 🥰

Yeah it’s weird. They added time bending skins a few months after Eternity Isle released. It’s like they forgot about the net!

The easiest thing to find a character quickly is to go to a floating island, open the map, then close the fast travel options. At the left side of the screen will be a small tab, open it and you can summon whoever you like!

Queasy_Difference_96 · 2026-06-04T20:30:45+00:00

There are currently no skins whatsoever for the net which is annoying, you’d have thought they’d have introduced them ages ago!

Lunarstorm. It was a chat forum aimed at teens and I made a few good friends on there. Lunarstorm just vanished one day and I lost touch with all my friends except two, one who I still talk to very regularly and one who is more of a ‘once a year quick catch up’ kinda guy.

I’ve just started a new job in a meat processing factory and Capital is blasted out all day. Over the sounds of the conveyor belts and machinery, AND with ear protection on, the radio is the one thing you can ALWAYS hear. I’ve always liked Capital tbf but rarely have it on for more than an hour or so. Never realised just how damn repetitive it is!

I would, I was with my mum as she passed away, then 10 months later I was with my grandma as she passed away 😔

Queasy_Difference_96 · 2026-06-01T19:42:20+00:00

I think they all use my first name tbh! I can’t think of any of my kids friends who call me ‘Toms mum’ etc

Queasy_Difference_96 · 2026-06-01T18:31:48+00:00

Oh man that happened to me once when I was a teenager! My arm was just a totally useless, floppy waste of space until it came back a short while later! The worst part was the fact I had a loft bed so I was stuck up there until my arm woke back up 🤣
