I’m in a long line for the bag drop at the airport. A robotic cart joined the queue. It alternated between demanding people move in Japanese and English, and voicing the same demands at a variety of barriers.
People have done their best to acquiesce to its demands, but it’s now stationary and shouting in multiple languages.
@elizabethtasker Feels like a reminder to have a roll of painter’s tape in my carry on. Just pop some on the cameras / ultrasonic sensors to immobilize it when it misbehaves.
@elizabethtasker@alicemcalicepants I understand where the robot is coming from. The world often causes me to be stationary and shouting in multiple languages.
@elizabethtasker
It's the old joke about the radio chat between an aircraft carrier that insists that has right of way, and the lighthouse answering that it will not move away.
Sorry, I collected awful jokes while I worked in defence.
@elizabethtasker To be fair to the worthless machine, being in an airport generally makes me want to be stationary and shout in multiple languages, too.
