Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.
This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.
If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.
I should have anticipated that this would exist.
Pretty much what I think whenever stumbling on any relatively unknown kink or fetish. The limits whack behavior caused by ape horneyness mixing with psychological complexes knows no bounds.
I always think ive seen it all, yet somehow the internet occasionally shows more.
I wonder how that will work on my other system with just the recycle bin and nothing else on the desktop
If you haven’t, please watch the original, full video! It’s hilarious from beginning to end…
I have - I think seventeen years ago, in fact. I do remember enjoying it, but I missed a lot (I was barely into my IT career and didn’t even know what Boing Boing was, for example). Should probably rewatch it. Thank you for the link.
What the hell! 😁
Well, there is a longer version of the video that provides some context. It seems the caller is either trying to access or host a website (possibly both) and it has gone down, so they called tech support.
The icon arrangement was apparently done spitefully to the remote desktop by the person the caller replaced and the caller simply became accustomed to it.
Beyond that, I cannot resolve your query.
Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.
You’re not wrong there. I think this video was actually the first time I heard of it, but it’s been a long time since the last time I did.
Is that whats implied here? I thought Heather just went to her Boss to complain and the Boss called IT…
The bar at the top shows up in remote desktop connections
Could also be because they work in rds from thin clients
bottom picture could be IT POV checking what’s wrong
Oh true i have seen that long ago. Very sus then.
“Director of Finance”
Probably makes 6 figures but doesn’t understand how walpapers work.
You know they have one of those calculators on their desk with the spool of paper so they can check the math.
Real talk it was probably Heather works under her and asked “hey what do I do when a large picture of mustard appears on my screen” and Director Of Finance said "reboot and if it’s still their I’ll let so-and-so know from IT, then emailed it off to so-and-so from IT directly instead of entering a ticket
My headcannon is more like, Director stops by and wants to know why Heather is looking at mustard bottles again, she has been warned about this, you see. She suddenly jumps and says “Oh, it uh, I was just working and then this happened.” Well that’s not fair is it? It’s not like she was intentionally looking at mustard again
And that’s the thing about IT, we save people’s jobs. Even freaks. Blame us, Heather, our shoulders are broad.
True. I tell my clients when they do something dumb to blame IT. We can take the heat. It’s part of the job.
It’s like being a day care center employee. You’re always responsible even when little Johnny puts a fork in the electrical socket.
This is almost guaranteed to he correct.
Heather doesn’t lock her computer when she walks away. Don’t be like Heather.
It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked “Set as desktop background”.
Which almost makes it worst. I mean I get the last part. Why ever she right clicked, she took the wrong option, fine. But how did she even end up on an image like that at work? What did she research?
Heinz mustard pictures?
I was on the website of a mustard manufacturer ten minutes ago. I was digging through Heinz ketchup pack sizes this morning.
Some of us love a saucy life. Who are you to judge?
Ok, I did my own research and realized that Heinz Mustard is a thing. I was convinced that Heinz only produces Ketchup but I was wrong. Sorry. This assumption made me think this is a weird montage and it still looks weird and montaged to me but who am I to judge
They make pickle relish, and horseradish sauce too.
French’s Ketchup is a thing too!

Crop to selection in Paint.net: ctrl + shift + x
Set as wallpaper in IrfanView: ctrl + shift + xHappens to me all the fucking time.
Because you obviously need a shortcut to set a wallpaper lmao.
Ctrl + Alt + Down
Now your bottle is ready to dispense delicious mustard
It should have been sorted by penis.
“there is no arrange by penis option”
What was that called already? Can’t remember the name!
The website is down.
Thank you!

Omgawd just change the desktop background I don’t get it
Here’s my new “you left your computer unlocked” image
My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.
Flip the image upside down and then flip the screen upside down as well so it looks normal. Except for the cursor, which will be upside down and moving in the wrong direction.
In the good old days we would just do that prank by taking the ball out of the mouse and putting in again backwards.
You can just disable desktop icons in windows. It’s both less destructive and more infuriating.
We used to shout in the company chat about how much “i” love the company.
Very bad spanish sentences were fun too.I think ours were about wanting hugs from pink butterflies.
and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option
As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman’s.
There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.
That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.
Most restaurants make their ketchup with canned tomato puree. You can’t start there and expect to get a prizewinning sauce. Equally, I can’t get behind any store shelf bottles of ketchup. They all have this metallic taste to them. It’s just funny how universally picky people are about their tomato sauces, myself included.
I think I have never been somewhere where they make their own ketchup. And I think there is a pretty good reason for that too: whoever orders ketchup is not going to expect something they made, will not have crazy standards and might even want the known taste of regular ketchup.
In all likelihood, you have. The restaurants I used to work at would refill name brand ketchup bottles with their own. The recipe is simple and cheap. Far cheaper than buying name brand, which meant better margins. When people said that it tasted off, you’d just look at the label, sigh, and say “oh, sorry about that. Let me get you a different one.” And then refill it and bring it back.
Hahaha… seriously, that would be illegal, breaking several laws. Nobody here does that, ketchup is way too cheap to risk such things.
Maybe things have changed in recent years, but I doubt they’ve changed that much. Given all of the jokes about restaurants going out of business without illegal immigrants, legality still seems secondary to profitability
havent tried plochmans but i will. for emergency widely available mustard i typically recommend frenchs dijon (NOT the “chardonnay” dijon)–it’s been so long i don’t even know if they make it anymore, but it should say something like “our boldest dijon ever” on the label
usually i stick with colman’s tins of just mustard flour and make it myself
She make the directors mad, but somebody’s gotta do it
Ghosts, she got ghosts in her drive
Call the exorcist
I couldn’t help hearing that as “Ghosts got in her drive,” to the tune of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.”
I watched this without volume, but I could still hear it.
