To The New Guy: Good Luck, And We’re All Counting On You!

One of the new tech guys comes into the office. He looks twenty at most.

Tech Guy: “Hi, I’m here to see [Coworker].”

Coworker: “That’s me. Why?”

Tech Guy: “You put in a ticket about your work phone autocorrecting words it shouldn’t be?”

Coworker: “I did?”

Tech Guy: “Uh, yeah. I got the ticket right here.”

[Tech Guy] shows the ticket, and [Coworker] laughs.

Coworker: “I forgot about that! I sent that for your boss as a joke last week. How long have you been in the tech department?”

Tech Guy: “This is my first week.”

Coworker: “Sorry, dude, he’s hazing you. He’s my friend, and this is what he does. I’m sorry.”

The poor tech guy leaves the office, looking confused.

Me: “Hey, [Coworker], what was the ticket?”

He shows me:

Ticket: “Work phone keeps autocorrecting “surely” to “Shirley” when left in Airplane mode.”

Me: “Yeah, that kid was waaaaay too young to ever get that reference.”
