07/05 - Stormy Monday

Oh my goodness!

 

Need a song like this for slow HITs. Then again, I have slow hands when doing surveys.

 

Yeah, I'm fine. It was just really shocking.

Never been that close to a lightning strike. Also, two light blubs blew out so it was really close.

 

Had to be scary at the time.

 

Two light bulbs! I'm glad you're ok.

 

On second thought, you almost got struck by lightning... I'll give you a pass for the day. Pun away

 

did everyone else just get a pm from madagascar or am I special

 

But you're not the only one to get that pm

 

I'd like to believe that the country of Madagascar is board from the lockdown and just messaging people online to make new friends.

 

I bet if it was a country from the northern hemisphere you wouldn't have banned them.

 

not sure if you are joking. the person was proposing something that is so against the mturk rules that anyone going along with them would have been banned from mturk.

 

Yes. I was joking. This was not "if the person was from a country in the" this was "if the country was in". I was playing off the earlier joke about it being the country of Madagascar randomly PMing people because it was lonely from the pandemic.

 

Glad you're okay!!

Had a transformer get struck by lightening and blow right outside our house and spark onto our roof a few years back and that was wicked alarming! Sounded like a bomb went off and tripped our breakers.

(Also great pun )

 

Also, now I really want to know what they were asking you to do.

 

not me, im sad now

yeah i figured once you said that it was a random pm that it was some "sell meh ur accountts!" kinda pm

 

What I'm listening to now in honor of @EssArrBee - (but only because you are safe and throwing out puns!!)
