Maybe if you’re also a man of culture, you would have seen this post around that I regularly scroll past.
It’s pretty funny, but I assumed it was just a joke and that’s all it would ever be.

Have You Met Sam Baines?
The man is named Sam Baines, a 22-year-old who worked at a call centre in Sheffield, UK.

Now I’m thinking, maybe I can use this idea for my resignation letter.
