Fucking amazing. 'We will accommodate you by telling other people to accommodate you.' That's CenturyLink levels of full compliance.
More like "We will accommodate your condition, by enabling it."

What was that audio though....
Maybe it's the source material's music, but then slowed down beyond recognition?

EDIT: These two guys had a TV series Wildboyz from which the above clip is taken, but they also participated in the Jackass TV series before that. That's all levels of crazy.

@dkf One might suspect they'd cope relatively well because their "disability" is really just a front for being allowed to bully everyone around them.
How the fuck do you know that?

So, what kind of OCD symptoms do you get?
Me, I mostly try to get a balance in the area of my vision. I.e. I unconsciously start turning my head so that the left and right edges of my field of vision have/touch the same amount/number of whatever. A lot of people think I have Tourette's of the neck. That'd actually be less embarrassing, so I just answer "yes" whenever anyone asks.
Edit:
P.S. I can keep my symptoms down by will, so that they only appear when I'm half dozing off in a meeting or something. So I never bothered to get a proper diagnosis. Just to state my "level" of OCD.

Because their disability is an excuse for being allowed to bully everyone around them.
I'll grant that they might be OCD. That is not a "disability". I'll grant that they might be, what, autistic? That is a disability, but what it isn't is an excuse to be an asshole. Someone needs to "accommodate" their disability by informing them that they can keep their own work space in meticulous order but they cannot micromanage the lives of their co-workers, and if they cannot cope with this, then there is nothing more that can be done to accommodate them. If they cannot perform the job with reasonable accommodations, then they need to find a job that is more suited to their abilities.
Having established that autism is not an excuse to be an asshole, it's obvious that they're a huge asshole. And having established that they're a huge asshole, it seems likely that they get off on bullying and controlling other people just because they can.

@PleegWat That's similar to the story my former Capoeira Mestre told (and backed up with a newspaper article).
He and his girlfriend went home from the cinema, only to be accosted by two racist thugs (he was, after all, definitely looking Brazilian).
Well, they both first tried to simply run away. After they had run a bit, with the thugs still following, his girlfriend became winded and he thought: "Fuck that shit!"
Stopped and turned around.
Both thugs ended up in the hospital, one with a broken arm, the other with a bad concussion.

@PleegWat Also bad idea, his "gun":

@pie_flavor May I use that? Will you require attribution?

@acrow Go right ahead.

Bad idea: parking your motorcycle in the shared garage in a spot which is not your designated parking space.
Worse idea: parking your motorcycle in the shared garage in a spot which not only is not your designated parking space, but also is meant for people to walk on if they don't want to be in the middle of the driving space.
Worse idea: parking your motorcycle in a spot which not only is not your designated parking space and is meant for people to walk on, but furthermore is close to an access door; so people will try to walk on it.
Worse idea: parking your motorcycle in a spot which is meant for people to walk on, close to an access door, and in front of a fire extinguisher.
Worse idea: parking your motorcycle in a spot which is meant for people to walk on, close to an access door, in front of a fire extinguisher, and in front of the light switch as well.
Worse idea: parking your motorcycle in a spot which is meant for people to walk on, close to an access door, in front of a fire extinguisher and the light switch, when someone else has already parked their own motorcycle there.
Recently it has gone down to one single, larger motorcycle, and we finally have emergency lights that don't let the garage fall into complete darkness. But still. :|

Fumble around for the switch why carrying several sharp and heavy objects? Or a can of paint?

A can of acetone. Does wonders for both paint and tyres.

Modern car paint seems to be reasonably acetone-proof, I've successfully used it to remove overspray (rattle-can, not 2K) with no damage to the underlying paint/clearcoat. I think you'd need Toluene...or brake fluid.

@Cursorkeys Why the half measures... go clorine trifluoride.

We currently have someone vandalizing cars in Wolfsburg. He's using some kind of industrial adhesive which not only eats completely through all layers of paint but will also damage the metal underneath.
I'm not sure what they're gluing together with that stuff but they've seemed to be inspired by Alien.

Liver and bacon is delicious, pineapple can't improve either though.
It could probably improve tripe, that stuff's the answer to the question of why dogs lick their testicles.

Hawaiians, because they put it in everything. Same way Vermonters put maple syrup in everything.

I don't think anything can make liver something I will eat but syrup is very yummy on bacon.

There are some genuinely awesome liver recipes out there, but it matters a lot what sort of liver you're using. They're very much not all the same!

I was thinking about cooking some nice veal liver with little onions, chopped bacon, chopped mushrooms, lashings of cream, etc.

I've read that wine is good for cooking.
I tried it and found that it's not true.

General Mills recently came out with maple Cheerios. Cheerios are a staple in our household, because several varieties are gluten free, so I decided to try the new variety. My son took a Sharpie and relabled the box:
MapleCanada Cheerios ... made with realmaple syrupCanada juiceBTW, this is the wrong thread to discuss them, because they're not at all a bad idea.
ETA: However, maple does not improve the taste of tea, IMO. I bought some the last time I was in . It was an interesting novelty, but I don't think any of us have had a second cup.
