We’ve all had those days when we just want to throw in the towel and take the rest of the day off.
Usually, this happens because someone else has messed something up. No, Jim, it’s *not* okay that you send me the spreadsheets later — I have other work that I’m supposed to be putting off doing!
Unbelievably, this doesn’t just happen in the workplace. In fact, the more athletic among us can also experience something similar, as this video shows.
In it, a group of runners can be seen doing a relay race. While most runners are able to hand off the baton just fine, one of them just can’t seem to do it, even as the runner in front of them slows down to grab it. This, understandably, leads to a pretty tense moment.
“Give the fucking stick!” the runner yells before sprinting off the track.
Some may see this as an unreasonable outburst, but all of the track runners in the comments were quick to say that the woman’s reaction was entirely justifiable given just how bad the previous runner was at handing off the baton. “Y’all don’t understand the FRUSTRATION until you’ve been in track,” wrote a user. “what gets me is that she was slowed down and the girl STILL didn’t put the stick in her hand,” added another.
“Clarity for the ones that have never run track: once they passed that line and the handoff didn’t happen, they were DQ’d anyway hence the frustration,” noted a third.
After all, how hard is it really to pass a goddamn stick?
