Do you think your job is useless? At this very moment someone is installing blinkers in BMW factory...
The GPs post wasn't a dig at BMW manufacturing but an old joke (might be local to the UK) about how BMW drivers never indicate before turning.
I can assure you it’s not UK-specific.
This poor man, Günther, toils away every day knowing full well his efforts are in vain.
Like a Teutonic Sisyphus, his work never done, never used...
Maybe in the end, they realize this and just have him put on stickers that look like blinkers? How would they know?
Hahaha brilliant!
There is an interesting connection between downvoting a comment praising an observation about caricaturical behavior and the personality said comment is meant to highlight.
It's just that comments that don't add much tend to get frowned upon here. There's generally a lack of "agreeing" comments, the upvote button is used for that.
That could be it. I just wanted to praise the parent as it was a very clever and funny comment, which to me deserved more than "just" an upvote. But thanks for pointing out.
I think if you had said something like "I find this a very clever and funny comment, well done" it would have been better received, but I'm also just guessing.
>Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
