Why isn’t the phone opening the app his finger is on?
Is the no circle around him something that exists as a physical object in his world?
Why is his tie outside of the no circle? Is he falling through it?
What is up with the dead fish stare? Does he have feelings? I know he is smiling, but it looks like he is pretending to be happy. Why is he happy to be told not to be doing the thing he is apparently doing?
What is on the sign behind him that is obscured by the phone?
What is with the S on his shirt? Is he a discount superman?
Aaaaggghhhh!
Its S for Sanguine, he’s very easy going and focused rofl.
Where is his right arm?
I assume down his pants.
I sometimes get some amusement with people with this attitude. Just play the ‘How’ game.
Basically, ask them, as earnestly as possible, HOW do you focus? You’ll likely get some rote answer, that’s when you start digging. Acknowledge the obvious bit and drill into the difficult bit. They will quickly be left stuttering with a “you just do it” type response. See how long you can keep it going.
The more honest, earnest and even slightly desperate you are, the funnier it becomes. They just told you they have the secret to fix your life, but now won’t share it. WHY won’t they share?!?
Depression sufferer? Just cheer up. Anxiety sufferer? Just relax.
“Heh”

I would be more distracted by this sign in an office than my phone. Why does this superhero have a dress shirt and tie under his super shirt? Is the hand holding the phone coming out of the tie? Given that we can see the edges of the cape coming out from behind the 🚫 but nothing else, does that mean this person is a triple amputee super hero, missing their legs and right arm? The questions are endless
How didn’t I think of this 😫‼️
It’s fuckin’ 12:32 man! You gotta get on the ball right now!
Me reading this sign:
“Mm Hmm, Mm Hm…. Wait. What the fuck is sneaking up behind me while I’m distracted by this sign?!”
this is a deeply confusing poster
Its for texting and driving
yeah but, from a design perspective try to analyse it
a super man knock off (good) is giving you a phone (neutral) but he’s crossed off (bad) and has earphones hanging on his neck (why) and there’s a “don’t be distracted” sign (good) but again the superman knockoff is giving you a phone, why is the superhero doing a bad thing here?
the visual language is all over the place. A positive mascot doesn’t fit at all here. This should be a villain offering you the phone & should colour coded appropriately. The Evil Distraction Man shouldn’t look like a superhero, it deeply muddles the intended message
PSA posters are not really a place for trying to subvert audience’s expectations of superman knock off’s moral standing
I just had a related experience. I’ve been out of a medication for a bunch of days, and today i finally was able to get myself to call the doctors office to ask for a refill. The receptionist in a tone told me “ok but you shouldn’t wait till you’re out of meds to ask for a refill, you should call in the refill when you’re down to 5 pills left.” Arg. As if needing to call in a refill hadn’t been nagging on my mind daily for a month.
TBF she didn’t know i have adhd, but still. It took a lot of restraint to just tell her “ok” instead of giving her a long explanation of the struggles i deal with.
Is there a long German word for the irony of having issues getting meds because of the thing the meds are treating?
Germany makes new words by squishing preexisting words together so if they don’t already they can quite easily make one
Medical receptionists are literally the worst people for people like us to have to talk to
I can’t be the only one who sees this as: “Don’t listen to this nerd! Also, don’t you want to check your phone?”
No coworker!
Only phone!
Having positive thoughts can lead to improved mood! Why don’t you try that?
That’s true though
Never mind the fact that iPhones haven’t had a silver trim like that since the iPhone 3GS in 2009, yet the icons are not skeuomorphic indicative of a much newer version of iOS.
Ring finger longer than middle finger. 😬
