Ruined By Typo [RBT] : The Intro

One day Musin draws my attention to how easy it is for a simple typo to completely ruin an entire conversation. Boy I tell you, SINCE THAT DAY, I have seen PLENTY people get RBT, myself included.

It’s a pretty simple concept. With millions of people using gchat, text message, aim, email, etc. a conversation can go from good to bad with one unintended stroke of an incorrect key. Sometimes it is so small you wont even know until the person replies, notifying you of your immediate downfall due to being RBT.

Don’t believe me?

1. Imagine sending an email that has been RBT to your boss. Something like the e-mail Musin sent his boss. Oh, what e-mail? This one…(Don’t kill me for this Musin but I could NOT let this one get swept under the rug.)

Hey (Insert name of Musin’s boss),

I just received an e-mail from a client who would like to change their program from standard to custom. Where do I go to ass the new changes?

RBT! Writing ASS to your boss instead of ADD can and WILL ruin you!

2. My ruining moment:

Clev: oh Musin, what a mess
so I tried to get into the club, but Rebecca wasn’t there
But dan was there, the dancer

Musin: Dan the dancer?
Wtf
Lol

Clev: I mean, the bouncer
lmao, ruined by typo

Musin: Clearrrrrrrly
Story done

3. Here’s one that happened an HOUR ago:

Girl: This man doesnt give up.
He should be looking for Obama
I mean Osama
lol

Clev:: OH NO

Girl: rbt!

Clev: RBT

(She just effed up Obama’s entire campaign with one typo. SMH.)

4. Let me introduce you to another recent victim and one of the WORST ones I’ve seen.

So, there’s this guy that I’m certain is gay (not that I believe there is anything wrong with this). But according to him, he’s straight, loves women, thinks they are hot, wants to do them, blah, blah, blah, you follow? Good.

He (we’ll call him John) has the following conversation via gchat:

Innocent Bystander: Stop being jaded by her (his ex-girlfriend) ..You’re tainted and you’re going to give the next girl a really hard time.

John: Not tainted…You are right I just need to focus on myself…I still want a wife and kids…I just need to focus on men

John: oops, *me

##########

Ohhhhhhh noooooooo. Too late buddy. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. YOU ARE RUINED. Ummm are you really trying to hit me with a [ *me ]. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. TOO LATE. You’re fuckin’ done son!

(It doesn’t help that a few days later a gay man tried to hit on him in the club. Hmmmmmm. That is all.)

So please be careful out there folks. A typo will ruin you.

RAISE THE ROOF!!

Another Sunday has just passed and with Sunday for Musin, comes church (said like chuuuch).

This time around they decided to bring in an ex-member of a once internationally popular contemporary gospel group. This was sure to be an entertaining piece, but I really had no idea what was in store for me.

The idea of what I was in for came to me within the first five seconds of the performance. The overly enthusiastic performer uttered “Please CUE my MUSIC…Track 2 !” as his first line. From there, I KNEW i was in for a show. The track plays, and the one man show begins. When I tell you this man was a gospel machine, I mean it! No lie here, none. Dance, Song, More dance even a little interlude with a small story, miniature testimony and even a tiny sermon mixed in. One man team here folks, no doubt about it. ( He did SIX full length church songs during his overstayed visit to the stage.)

I knew this had potential to make the AH ranks but it wasn’t until the height of his performance did I realize that this HAD to be posted. I come to church late all the time, not accidentally, simply because in my eyes the service is entirely too long. If I get lucky I can find a seat in the back, if not…front row it is. This Sunday my lateness landed me a prime front row view, dead center. So as this man gets into what HAD to have been his favorite song out of no where he (wildly) begins to RAISE THE ROOF!! I was flabbergasted, I could not even think to tell you when was the last time I/anyone I knew RAISED THE ROOF. This daring performer took a bold step into church history by pulling this move.

So as I CRACK UP about how ridiculous this RAISING OF THE ROOF is, I turn around to make sure that my cousin realizes how wild it is that the performer is RAISING THE ROOF only to see the ENTIRE congregation RAISING THE ROOF. It was then, that i knew, it HAD to come back. I was in disbelief for a good 2 whole minutes…until I then found myself RAISING said ROOF. That thing sure is catchy…

Does anyone remember when it was big back in the day? If you were raising the roof you were undoubtedly having a GOOD TIME! It’s only right that we bring it back. Since then, I’ve Raised the roof from NY to DC and back. I’ve raised the roof in the office, I’ve raised the roof at parties, I’ve raised the roof in team meetings, I’ve raised the roof in my bosses office, I will continue to RAISE THE ROOF until it regains the strength it one had.

I now even use it to replace the word “yes”. Like so…

Random: Hey Musin, are you going to post that hilarious shite (no typo, shite is what we say) we saw the other day?

Musin: [* Furiously Raises the Roof*]

It works like a charm, and it leaves no gray area. If you raise the roof you are DOWN for whatever you have agreed to, by law.

Cheers….to raising the roof!

Being Dumb At Work Does Not Pay

Once again,

Musin finds himself in another dull, dreary office meeting. The worst part about this one (well kinda) was the fact they decided to put it RIGHT before lunch. So just about everyone was trying to get out as soon as possible. Responses were quick, and sensible…UNTIL…

So, with that fairly dramatic story I will go on to demonstrate how being dumb in the work place does NOT pay. Our company has decided to expand their services to the UK (Hooray them). Now, because of the change and some idiots here not being able to understand ENGLISH they had an hour long communications meeting to go over ways to communicate. Yes, I was just as pissed.

So a subtopic presented itself about how to properly relate to the reps overseas (UK) as sometimes they don’t understand what they are saying. Then an excellent example (sent from God who felt like laughing) came up. Someone says, “I was speaking to the rep and I said something about pants (why the hell they were talking about pants I do not know, this corporation has NOTHING to do with pants, at all!) and he told me that over there they call like their boxers pants and they call pants something else.”

My first reaction was to throw something, but I held out in hopes of a better response to what has already happened. So then the facilitator of the meeting says…”Oh really, like…I wonder what else they would call pants over there…” Suggestions flew in from near and far. A few responses included slacks, suit pants, trousers (me), and then someone felt like stealing the spotlight at the dumb competition by seriously blurting out…DRAWS!?

EVERYONE stared at her, and the funniest shit is, she stared back! Like, why are you guys looking at me…yeah i said draws don’t they call them that?? I couldn’t believe it nor could I contain my chuckle. So after laughing (beside my boss) I just had to act like I heard something important and began to furiously take notes to show I was only merely sidetracked and as to keep my job.

I still have my job, but if people keep saying dumb shit like that chances are I wont last long. I can’t contain the chuckle.

Musclebound MIDGET

Ok,

Before you watch this video PLEASE ensure you are not eating/drinking anything because you WILL lose it. I mean it will be infront of you/on your screen but who wants to eat that? Unless your really hungry and if you are hungry enough to scrape food you laughed up off your keyboard and consume it you need to re-evaluate your life… I’m rambling? Yes. Haven’t posted in a while so I feel like I’m allowed ramble a little. Fret not, I’m done. Moving along…

I’m having a (very) hard time keeping my job with this blasted ROMEO image stuck in my head. Everytime it comes up or I click on the tab accidentally I explode laughing as if it’s the first time, it only gets funnier. If you look at that slide show and do not laugh then there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with you and I’m sorry to hear and I hope you/they feel better.

I REALLY do NOT need to expound on how RIDICULOUS this is. Do I? Oh… I do? Hmph!…Fine!

First of all, ROMEO!?! I just KNOW this lil’ mofo was trying to be smooth upon deciding to have people refer to him as ‘Romeo’. I can’t for the life of me even understand how his colleagues (if he has any) even let this come to be. He isn’t even THREE FEET tall, where the HELL does he get off lifting weights?! He could easily develop a hernia the size of…well….HIM!

Now i know some people might think that picking on this little man (no pun intended) might be mean, to you I say this…COME ONNNN!! He is asking for it! We first spotted this bit of funny on Robert’s blog and knew we had to shed light on it.

Now upon watching this I am asking that you cast your vote for funniest picture in the slide. I cannot WAIT for these comments (mental jukebox plays “Can’t Wait by Sleepy Brown ft. Big Boi).

Good to be back folks!
