What they mean btw is "You can't always use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands." If the lesson just said that, then these people might actually learn and retain something. But instead it's just kinda useless. You should design lessons for the people who are going to receive them.
I've had to attend similar inservices in my professional past. From experience, there will always be attendees who are clueless no matter how simple or dumbed down the language may be. During a mandatory fire prevention inservice, someone thought the best way to put out a trash can fire was to drop a blanket on it and walk away - never mind that actually doing so would simply cause a bigger fire. There's just no cure for stupidity.
The DMV. Where do I fucking start? You go in for a simple change of address, I'm waiting a whole hour to have my ticket READ to go up.
If there was a DMV horror story thread, we'd all have plenty of content to share. For me, my worst experience was arriving before it opened to address something before going to work... only to find a large line of people already waiting to get in a half hour before the place even opened.
Recently, the biggest DMV in the area started accepting appointments. However, the appointment only puts you in line at a given time and doesn't give you an appointment at that time. TBF, there seems to be one line for appointment holders and another for drop-ins, but it makes no sense to make an appointment to get in line - government inefficiency at its best, though.
The DMV gave me shit about the title not being "certified" and having to reinspect the car at THIS location. WHY?
In the past my state had a rule requiring cars that were repaired after being declared totaled to be given a salvage title and reinspected before being driven again. My insurance agent and repair shop failed to tell me the last part and I was lucky I didn't get stopped by the police for driving with a salvage title blissfully unaware of the law. The worst part was trying to find an inspector willing and able to inspect vehicles in my area. Some only did certain cities or parts of cities. I think that was part of the reason the rules changed regarding salvage inspections, but the experience was enough I hope I never go through it again.
Thread tax: People don't talk to each other like humans anymore. I feel like I've had an upswing of encounters lately where people just find it easier to repeat what they said as if you didn't hear them the first time rather than have a conversation in the event they might be liable for something.
Even when the internet first became popular, people were becoming more comfortable interacting through a screen and keyboard than they were with talking in person. I knew someone who could chat one's ear off online but became a socially awkward wallflower when interacting in meatspace.
People's perception of religious academic institutions are from outdated sources and one in a million happenings.
People's perception of religion or church-goers in general are interesting for lack of a better word. I once carpooled to a secular event with two people who were religious. When I told a friend about the trip and who I carpooled with, they reacted as if I rode with a serial killer and axe murderer even though I ended up party to some interesting conversation and debate going to and from our destination.
don't want to change my fucking password. STOP MAKING ME CHANGE MY FUCKING PASSWORD OVER AND OVER!
I have a site that allowed me to create a particular user id with a punctuation mark in it. For whatever reason, it now considers that character illegal and the only way I can log in now is by requesting a forgotten password link each time I log in. If you're going to disallow certain characters, give people a chance to fix/replace them before you outright declare them illegal.
Thread tax: Social media groups that politisperg nonstop, flood your dashboard with unwanted crap, and have no way to hide or block them. Surely The Algorithm(tm) notices that I don't want to see that crap yet it keeps showing me more and more.
(E: I can't spell)
