Disclaimers

[DrFaroohk]

...and more specifically, people who ignore them.

Such as when someone asks for my help with something, and I inform them straight up that I am no good at what they want help with, but they insist and say they want the company more than anything else. Fine, I tell them, but I remind them I'm no good at ______.


Two hours later....

"What the hell man don't you know anything about _____? Are you completely useless? Goddammit!"

Or even a businesses disclaimers. "You can come in but you if you slip and fall and hurt yourself we're not responsible."

And then "OW I FELL I'M GONNA SUE YOU WAAAAAAH!"

[Fryk]

That's because people hear what they want to hear. When you say:

"I'll help you if you want, but I'm not really good at this."

They hear:

"I'll help you if you want, blah blah bluffle waffleiron."

"I'll help you if you want, blah blah bluffle waffleiron."

I thought is was more like "I'll help you if you want, *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*"

[Wingates_Hellsing]

It's more like:

"I'll help *fzzzzzt* you want *kerfzzzzzt* I'm *buzzzzzz* good at that"

[Fryk]

Or, alternatively,
"I'll help you if you want, *calliope music*"
or,
"I'll help you if you want, *bass riff from "Seinfeld"*
