MMeM, Vol.11 Issue 35 – Bad days

Look, we all have bad days from time to time. Some of us, especially yours truly, have had weeks of bad days all strung together into months, even years! But, I digress.

The worst kind of bad day is one in which you have little to no control over. Take this guy.

His picture is incorrectly displaying for multiple stories in the local newspaper’s app. I guess one could say that the app is having a bad day or the newspaper’s app developers which are probably a third-party vendor from who knows where.

The upside for users of this app during an error such as this is trying to match the face to the correct story. Obviously, this poor guy isn’t responsible for all of these stories. Hey, at least the glitch happened on the Sports tab and not Breaking News or Top Stories. I mean he doesn’t look like he’s posing for pictures after having one the lottery.

Unless, he won the Illinois Lottery in which case, payment won’t be about lump sums or 20 year annuities but rather ever or never. Yeah, that’s probably a misplaced photo from a recent lottery winner having just been told the state can’t pay without a current budget.
