Average WSO User

Was sitting on a train the other day when I noticed a kid working on his laptop. Bro had his computer background as the bank’s logo that he works for.

Of course he pulls up his phone and the first website and the first website icon in his favorites, our favorite blue monkey.

Please don’t make your bank/job your personality. They’ll literally work you to death, fire you whenever it’s time to push up margins, and replace you at any second.
