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.

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic 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.

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

My other guess was personal trainer...

I thought it was a kid putting together Legos all day

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] pixeltree 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's British

[–] Agent641 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My wife does this too, except with penises

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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