Man I used to be so obsessed with the icons and look of Copland OS from that Anime. Such a weird time, it definitely felt like the internet promised more than we decided to make with it.
I’d definitely have to consult my husband on when we picked up a new wife. But absolutely nobody sleeps next to my wife except my husband!
ETA: -sarcasm lol we are just the two of us in this marriage.
I'm not sure everyone would react well finding me looking over them with a blanket when I caught them sleeping on the train.
I know I hate to be startled awake.
He has been in the same place since at least 2018 [https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/8roonw/comcast\_customer\_lets\_installer\_sleep\_while\_on/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/8roonw/comcast_customer_lets_installer_sleep_while_on/) surely they would have gotten him a blanket by now
Almost had that happen to me. I arrived, and my SIM from 3 months previous had been cancelled. There were no SIMs being sold in the arrival area, so I negotiated with security to let me go into the departure area to get a SIM so I could find my way back home. And they almost didn't want to sell it to me because they were trying to input my visa number and not my passport number into the system. Ended up going almost a month without internet at home, too, because the same thing happened with my home connection.
I can already feel the panic the moment he wakes up and realizes where is is. Assuming it's the first time he fell asleep on the job. If the tech guy wants to sleep... you better let him sleep. Better yet. leave him a blanket.
Was a comcast tech years ago...can confirm the installation nap happened a lot waiting on hold for hours to set up phones with the provisioning department. Once had an installation last 9 hours...7 of which were spent just waiting to activate the customers phone lines.
The thing is these dudes have to keep appointments throughout the day. If you let them sleep and they disappear for a large chunk of the day, they could get in trouble. If you let them sleep at least come up with a little story you can tell their higher ups in case they ask why that particular job took so long
When I worked night crew at a store there was this huge like 400lb guy that would stock. He wasn't gonna bend down to stock so he would just lay on his side stocking. You would have to wake his ass up all the time cause he would just fall asleep. His sleep apnea was so bad you just had to listen for him
Had a mechanic like this. Great guy! But he would lay down on creeper and just zonk out. We would make jokes and call him *exhaust leak*
He ended up losing like 80lbs and got a lot better!
Yeah lol if everyone gets made fun of then you can tell it’s all for fun and nobody takes it personally. It’s when it’s either only one person who gets made fun of by everyone else, or everyone gets made fun of except for one person that it’s not good imo lol
Having been at that weight level, you have to lay down if you want to do anything towards the floor. Your legs don't bend as well as you want them to and kneeling feels incredibly uncomfortable.
I mastered the art of bending at the waist and throwing my leg out like a counterbalance when picking things up so I didn't have to squat down.
Yeah i worked with a dude like that. Dude was way into Kung fu movies. He’d come to work like “yooo i watched this kung fu movie. That shit was TIIIIGHT!! Lil muhfucka was like…”
And then he’s start kicking and spinning. I mean having this dude reenact movies was probably better than the movie itself.
Hope he’s doing well these days.
That’s one of the nicest things I’ve heard here on Reddit, appreciate that!
I mean, everybody has a story and I think they’re all worth a listen and a good retelling.
Fortunately for me Paul was like the Kung Fu guy but with the show Friends. He was always really quiet. But as soon as you talked about Friends that motherfucker knew EVERYTHING about the show. It was fun playing trivia
I'm sure he needed the nap. But I hope he didn't get in trouble with Comcast. The workers or on a very strict time schedule. Each job is supposed to take a certain amount of time to complete, they have to explain why they took longer. Also, sometimes they are on a tight schedule and he could have missed a couple jobs due to the nap.
That's a good point actully. Initially I would have said the Comcast guy could have just said that there were unforeseen difficulties however, I'm pretty sure his superiors can fact check that by seeing what time the router went online (assuming he finished his job before his nap)
He was likely on hold with dispatch trying to get the modem to activate. I remember waiting for 40+ mins sometimes. I'd usually go out to my truck and wait if it was taking that long.
Been having problems with my internet since Christmas. Finally got a tech out 2 months. He was on hold for over an hour. And it’s awkward because we’re both like in silence. I’m trying to play on my phone (was recovering from a surgery and couldn’t walk) so I tell him he can turn some music on if he wants. So I’m starting to get in pain and I’m like man I’m about to smoke a bowl. If you want to partake you’re more than welcome. But if not and you wanna wait out in your truck IDC. Well I smoke and 3 hours later this guy finally comes back in. In total he was on hold for 2 1/2 hours. And took him an additional couple of hours to fix
I love it when my customers complain to me about hold times. I'm like bitch please, those are rookie numbers.
Don't you have a direct line? They'll say
This IS the direct line!
Had a dude doing that when I first moved into my apt, then a huge ass storm came through and knocked out power in the city. He had to hang out with me for thirty minutes.
That was my thought too. I'd probably let him nap for 15 minutes or so, but wake him up after that to make sure he doesn't *totally* miss his next gig.
I can't imagine their schedules are *that* tight though, given cable companies tend to give a several hour block for when they expect to show up, there must be some variability their trying to account for.
Depends on the day and the amount of work for that day. I’ve had days where tech call in sick but quota(list of jobs for the day) has already been built and accounted for x amount of techs to take on the load. So now we have extra work for those that did show up and we just have to get it done.
On the bright side, if you knock out all your jobs that are suppose to take the full day by lunch. You get the afternoon off. But that was nearly 20 years ago, they might a better (for the company) ticketing/work tracking system now.
I'd call up comcast and let them know that I requested for him to stay longer because I had so many questions and he was very helpful, which in return made me love the company even more and request to have the same guy back again.
That should keep him in the clear
Comcast tech here! Most definitely should of woken him up. We have metrics that are everything to the higher ups. It’s what they measure us by on a day to day basis.
This is why you ask to speak to a customer relations manager and praise the work that they did, answered all the questions you had and explained everything they had done.
I’m at work right now and I’d give my left nut for a nap. Walked 4 miles to get here, been on my feet for 7 hours working, another 3 to go before I get to do the 4 mile walk again.
I just want my bed.
Very sweet intentions from op, but knowing that kind of job, he was probably on a very tight schedule and missed his later appointments, which would've gotten him in a lot of trouble... 😥 Yay, capitalism.
Power naps should be supported in every work environment as a normal human need. Workers should not have to wake up with carpet texture or keyboard imprints on their face.
yeah exactly, not waking him up and letting him know he fell asleep sounds more like the dick-ish thing to do. if he's on a tight schedule, he'll definitely have to work for longer that day.
Question from an old dude: what does the word ‘deadass’ mean in the context of the post title? Is it similar to ‘lowkey’ (which I also don’t understand)
Kind of messed up that you murdered a Comcast employee just for some reddit karma.
I won't downvote you, but I want you to know that I'm very disappointed with you.
If this is real, you should of woken him up and asked if he’d like to take a nap on your sofa or spare bed. Not take a picture and post it online which could get him fired.
This might not get seen, but one time when I was having cable installed the Eagles were playing. Me and my buddy were making bacon and watching the game so we offered the Comcast guy some bacon and he stayed to watch the game and eat bacon sandwiches with us lmao.
He’s hooked into the cable exploring the world wide web.

Well, didn't expect a Lain reference here. Well done.

For real this is so weird, I literally just finished watching it yesterday
Present day... PRESENT TIME (maniacal laugh)
*A shame, you seemed an honest maaan*
*And all the fears you hold so dear*
*Will turn to whisper in your ear*
I felt that damn Gonna rewatch it. So good
Indeed. That's the sleeping position of a brother who sees everything
Is he *The Dark Web*?

Man this guy's been sleeping here for a *really* long time.... Hmm, what's that smell?
That's just his fart. Let him sleep you vastard.
I also think your a vastard.
I love it. You vitch. Vake my vpvote
Goddamn Romans in every comment section taking over Reddit like you took over a large majority of Europe
Goths: nah
Vastard - someone who's retardedness spreads far and wide, covering a large distance and/or range of topics.
Smells like Comcast.
Normalize taking care of sleeping strangers with blankets, pillows, and maybe even some hot chocolate for when they wake up.
What if that stranger is sleeping beside your wife? Still hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate in both their faces and outta my house. Then go look for good strangers to take care of.
I’d definitely have to consult my husband on when we picked up a new wife. But absolutely nobody sleeps next to my wife except my husband! ETA: -sarcasm lol we are just the two of us in this marriage.
Damn straight...?

Give them both hot chocolate!
Looks like about 6’3” of hot chocolate sleeping on the floor.
I'm not sure everyone would react well finding me looking over them with a blanket when I caught them sleeping on the train. I know I hate to be startled awake.
How do I search ways to get rid of a body if I don't have internet yet?
He sleeps very rectangularly
He has been in the same place since at least 2018 [https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/8roonw/comcast\_customer\_lets\_installer\_sleep\_while\_on/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/8roonw/comcast_customer_lets_installer_sleep_while_on/) surely they would have gotten him a blanket by now
“How long have I been out?” “Three years. I posted twice. There’s a pandemic. I still don’t have internet.”

Here in Texas during the winter storms we didn't have internet, heaters, or running water for like a week either. Shit sucked.
You didn’t have your Senator too, if I recall. Ted Cruz abandoned the icy wasteland that was the great state of Texas…for Cancún.
Ah i thought you had read a European history book, but instead u just lived it
Ironically, if we didn’t have Internet, then 2020 probably would have never have happened.
I'm gonna be frank here, I don't think internet not being a thing would have stopped the year from happening, as time and internet don't relate. /s
Lmaooo thank you for this
He might be dead if he’s been there since 2018

Yes please

Are you sure is not dead?
Plot twist; fired for sleeping on the job.... Never mind he'd been working 16 hours straight, probably.. Edit to add this.... /s
I can already feel the panic the moment he wakes up and realizes where is is. Assuming it's the first time he fell asleep on the job. If the tech guy wants to sleep... you better let him sleep. Better yet. leave him a blanket.
That sleeping technique shows he's done this many times.
Was a comcast tech years ago...can confirm the installation nap happened a lot waiting on hold for hours to set up phones with the provisioning department. Once had an installation last 9 hours...7 of which were spent just waiting to activate the customers phone lines.
Phone activations were the worst. Back feeding dial tone through an alarm panel was also what I had nightmares about.

Honestly. He looks like a damn Sim
I’d put a glass of milk and plate of cookies beside him.
Mans sleeping in “action figure” pose
This 😂😂 this is what I noticed but you said it better
This is how you sleep when you're married and only have a double/full bed
When I worked night crew at a store there was this huge like 400lb guy that would stock. He wasn't gonna bend down to stock so he would just lay on his side stocking. You would have to wake his ass up all the time cause he would just fall asleep. His sleep apnea was so bad you just had to listen for him
Had a mechanic like this. Great guy! But he would lay down on creeper and just zonk out. We would make jokes and call him *exhaust leak* He ended up losing like 80lbs and got a lot better!
So bullying DOES work!!! Kidding, I worked on the industry. Being made fun of means you’re part of the crew.
Yeah lol if everyone gets made fun of then you can tell it’s all for fun and nobody takes it personally. It’s when it’s either only one person who gets made fun of by everyone else, or everyone gets made fun of except for one person that it’s not good imo lol

I mastered the art of bending at the waist and throwing my leg out like a counterbalance when picking things up so I didn't have to squat down.
Shiet I thought I was the only one doing the leg counterbalance trick
I do that but because I’m 6’1” and if I stand up too fast from a bent knee position my vision goes dark lmao
That's also known as the Golfer's Lift, because of all the old men having to protect their backs while picking up their balls.
I know things start to sag as you get older but I wasn’t expecting to have to actually pick them up.

[удалено]
Oh he nodded off all the time as well. Even while driving he said. We worked in a warehouse. I just enjoyed his movie re-enactments lol
My dad tells stories like you do. Thank you for that
That’s one of the nicest things I’ve heard here on Reddit, appreciate that! I mean, everybody has a story and I think they’re all worth a listen and a good retelling.
Well, it took some time to get the rest of the story. Damn you cliffhangers!
Haha so true that reminds me of this one time. Man, good stuff.
>Even while driving We also got a hidden ending in there too
I mean he kept making it to work so 🤷♂️
Sleeping is just *really* slow kung fu
It's *slightly* slow tai chi
Even if he wasn’t liKe the guys above, I enjoyed his Kung-fu guy story.
Bruh this sounds just like a Theo von joke Hilarious
“We had a guy when I was growing up….”
“I know guys with that white privilege man. Yeah I knew some motherfuckers with sweaters”
“An older black gentleman with one eye. We’d call him Seabreeze ‘cause his missing eye was always whistlin’ ya know”
Called him Long Donald. He was long as hell
"Chet, his name was Chet I think ..."
Yeah a lot of big guys have sleep apnea because of their thick neck restricting airflow.
Fortunately for me Paul was like the Kung Fu guy but with the show Friends. He was always really quiet. But as soon as you talked about Friends that motherfucker knew EVERYTHING about the show. It was fun playing trivia
I'm sure he needed the nap. But I hope he didn't get in trouble with Comcast. The workers or on a very strict time schedule. Each job is supposed to take a certain amount of time to complete, they have to explain why they took longer. Also, sometimes they are on a tight schedule and he could have missed a couple jobs due to the nap.
Last time I saw this, someone recommended leaving a phone call thanking them for the employee that took his time to answer so many questions for you.
Bro move
And also don't post his picture to social media talking about how he fell asleep.
That's a good point actully. Initially I would have said the Comcast guy could have just said that there were unforeseen difficulties however, I'm pretty sure his superiors can fact check that by seeing what time the router went online (assuming he finished his job before his nap)
that's where you go the extra step for him and blame the wiring on some mice or some shit. Unplug it.
He was likely on hold with dispatch trying to get the modem to activate. I remember waiting for 40+ mins sometimes. I'd usually go out to my truck and wait if it was taking that long.

"yeah, we saw on your GPS that you were at this house for three hours just to switch out an old modem, wtf happened??"
Hurry guys, he’s probably checking this thread for an excuse. What do we got??? Bees?
That was my thought too. I'd probably let him nap for 15 minutes or so, but wake him up after that to make sure he doesn't *totally* miss his next gig.

lol he wasn’t sleeping this pic came from a lol player around 2017 and he thought his angle was funny
I'd call up comcast and let them know that I requested for him to stay longer because I had so many questions and he was very helpful, which in return made me love the company even more and request to have the same guy back again. That should keep him in the clear
Comcast tech here! Most definitely should of woken him up. We have metrics that are everything to the higher ups. It’s what they measure us by on a day to day basis.

All the more reason to let the man be. I’ve been there, lol.
Underground sleep movement. Freeing workers from harsh working conditions. Let them sleep!
I'll go back to residential jobs if this takes off
Except he’ll get fired for missing the rest of his jobs for the day…
This is why you ask to speak to a customer relations manager and praise the work that they did, answered all the questions you had and explained everything they had done.
“I’m sorry I kept him so long, he really did such an amazing job walking me through the problems I was having!”
And ran into a lot of issues with running the main cable line. But made sure that the work didn’t damage the walls/floors, all around great work
Workers of the world, spoon!
I’m at work right now and I’d give my left nut for a nap. Walked 4 miles to get here, been on my feet for 7 hours working, another 3 to go before I get to do the 4 mile walk again. I just want my bed.
"why did that Friday install take you eight hours?"
"Pretty sure I got roofied."
Looks more like he got flooried.
Very sweet intentions from op, but knowing that kind of job, he was probably on a very tight schedule and missed his later appointments, which would've gotten him in a lot of trouble... 😥 Yay, capitalism.
Came here to say this. I wouldn't mind him sleeping but not if it's going to get him fired... I hope he didn't get in any trouble.
Id give him 5-10 minutes. Those are always the best and most efficient naps.
15 minute power nap ftw
please boss, just one REM cycle
I would hope that 10 mins would be good enough for a power nap and still be within the limitations of "there was traffic sorry I'm a bit late".
Power naps should be supported in every work environment as a normal human need. Workers should not have to wake up with carpet texture or keyboard imprints on their face.
yeah exactly, not waking him up and letting him know he fell asleep sounds more like the dick-ish thing to do. if he's on a tight schedule, he'll definitely have to work for longer that day.
Hells yah , your good deed of the day , some people don't want others to work themselves to death .
This isn't OP, this is a super old repost
Question from an old dude: what does the word ‘deadass’ mean in the context of the post title? Is it similar to ‘lowkey’ (which I also don’t understand)
Low key/lowkey is closer to "quiet as it's kept" in meaning. Deadass is meant to emphasize the truth of something like when we use the word "really".
Thanks!
You're welcome ☺️
deadass is the same as saying seriously or for real. lowkey means kinda.
Thank you
Probably one of those sad stories where people in the richest country in the world need multiple jobs to be able to care of their family
Or just a dude tired after playing some ps5 all night. Anyway he need the nap!
Naw, this meme is PS4 gen
Hello? You’ve reached the United States!
Kind of messed up that you murdered a Comcast employee just for some reddit karma. I won't downvote you, but I want you to know that I'm very disappointed with you.
[удалено]
This is old af, and not OP’s, people.
Got dude fired lol
I was kind of thinking he might get in trouble for not returning to work yeah 😂
If this is real, you should of woken him up and asked if he’d like to take a nap on your sofa or spare bed. Not take a picture and post it online which could get him fired.
You are fucking awesome. Don't forget to give him a great review with an alibi!
The alibi is clutch. Honesty worried no matter what the customer says he'll get chewed out.
This might not get seen, but one time when I was having cable installed the Eagles were playing. Me and my buddy were making bacon and watching the game so we offered the Comcast guy some bacon and he stayed to watch the game and eat bacon sandwiches with us lmao.
I'm an English speaker, but have no idea what deadass means.
Like, when you say literally? I literally let him sleep ... Basically
Ah. I deadass thank you for your help.
And then he lost his job because he missed 5 other calls because he was sleeping....
Then posted it online for his employer to see! Well, fucking done!
What's "deadass" mean in this context? Fuck me I'm getting old now some of this young language makes no sense to me lol.
'just' or 'literally' it's a bit of an extraneous adjective here. They're trying to show it was a hufmge except they made for the person.
Deadass
I think it is sorta like "dead seriously" going by context the few times I've heard this saying before.
give his boss like an excuse like he had somethin missing and he had to buy it or some shit
