- friendlyanon, on 04/23/2009, -266/+1955He is RIGHT! He is the boss he PAYS you money to do a job and he requests it clearly:
The station should have the things he wants there nothing more or less.... it was all cluttered and *****.
if you're the sort of incompetent cretin who can't follow directions you shouldn't be working at tight ship operation like M5 industries. Go get a job with slack at the library. - jdox, on 04/23/2009, -76/+1526Digg this up because you know he looks at the Digg front page all the time
- bratterscain, on 04/24/2009, -30/+1424Plausible.
- lepetitmousse, on 04/24/2009, -36/+1201considering the whole thing was taped, i have a feeling this was a joke.
- LordRedSnake, on 04/24/2009, -58/+765Of course he's a douchebag. He wears a beret and has that ridiculous mustache.
- DakkarDragontis, on 04/24/2009, -62/+710Pfft... It was still a mess.. No one can clean a little wooden box.... Douche bag or not he pays you.. CLEAN THE LITTLE WOODEN WEDGE
- cerealjynx, on 04/23/2009, -151/+764That is one ***** walrus.
- Linake, on 04/24/2009, -6/+576I was thinking the same thing. Plus, the guy who he's talking about is the guy with the camera, so I have a feeling it was all a bit tongue-in-cheek. Jamie has been known to have a very dry sense of humour.
- heavystone, on 04/24/2009, -41/+599LOL, Jamie is hilarious. And you all that are thinking this is real are morons. It was clearly a satire.
- peligro666, on 04/24/2009, -7/+511Dugg because he might be reading this very comment.
- n1eb, on 04/23/2009, -14/+414Can you remind me what I'm paying you people for? Honestly, throw me a bone here.
- Tenareth, on 04/24/2009, -58/+407I don't quite get it... he just wants a little professionalism around the shop, so now anyone that takes pride in their work is bad?
- epalla, on 04/24/2009, -26/+339If I ran a shop and had the money I'd pay somebody to do this too. I'm constantly misplacing pencils and tape and other useful stuff. Thing is, I doubt Jamie is terribly worried about putting pencils back where he got them, so, yeah, at any given time a station might be a few items short. He definitely comes off pretty anal.
Still, there are thousands of nerds who would drop everything to stock pencil shelves for the mythbusters. - feezus, on 04/24/2009, -13/+298Jamie, I know you're reading this. If you need someone to keep those things stocked properly, I'll do it for $1 less per hour than that backstabbing prick that posted this video.
- burstaneurysm, on 04/24/2009, -12/+238"Go get a job with slack at the library."
Precisely what I did. Government work FTW! - twiztidsinz, on 04/24/2009, -0/+190The camera guy (Chris) also fails to keep a laugh down at one point.
- nexmachina, on 04/24/2009, -61/+227The person who made this video has apparently never worked for anyone or for a company in his life. Like someone pointed out. He pays the bills, he pays your salary. If you can't get it right, then you don't know how to follow directions. When you're blowing up ***** with high explosives, using chemicals that can kill you, using tools that can kill you, you obviously would want someone that can follow directions and execute them properly.
To the person who edited the video with their stupid comments. Get out of your mom's basement and get a job. Man is he/she gonna be disappointed when the real world comes a knockin. - addrake, on 04/24/2009, -25/+188I don't see a problem with his comments. I run a fairly large restaurant and constantly get static from my cooks as to why everything needs a checklist and a place. When you run a business and pay people to do things in a certain way, it becomes very annoying to continue to not have things done the way you want.
- AndreasTh, on 04/24/2009, -5/+164We're probably all confirming/bustning some myth by reacting to this video ^^ It's a setup!
- FakeHipster, on 04/24/2009, -2/+159I've been convinced for a while now that Jamie and Adam actually hate each other. I mean, look at Jamie's reaction anytime Adam says well, anything. Also, Jamie does the heavy lifting around the place and Adam just acts funny.
Not that I'm ragging on the show, I love it. - ProfessorLX, on 04/24/2009, -0/+150I'll bet Adam is in here digging every "Jamie is a douchebag" comment there is.
- alcimedes, on 04/24/2009, -44/+182What, so there's only one person in that entire shop? What happens when someone puts an extra calculator up there? Or an extra pen? Should this guy holding the camera run around all day checking each station to ensure it's exactly right?
He's likely doing it every day, and other people are messing it up with some clutter, but at the end of the day EVERYTHING WAS THERE, and he's just being a general dick about it.
Unless every single person in that shop is keeping tabs on what's going into or out of a "station" ***** is going to get disorganized some times. - SirBruce, on 04/24/2009, -6/+139Do you people honestly believe that Jamie had this guy film this clip (for what purpose? DVD extra?), bitched the cameraman Chris out while he did it, and then afterwards they decided, yeah, let's upload this to the Internet? Do you think Chris risked his job to do it without permission?
Or do you think maybe this was all a joke? - jbella, on 04/24/2009, -10/+141It's stuff like this that makes him such an awesome engineer.
A lot of engineers have this slightly anal OCD nature. - laserdog, on 04/24/2009, -38/+156He may be within his right, but he's still a douchebag.
Mainly because he doesn't seem to realize how anal and overdramatic his "life long struggle" to keep the stations stocked is.
Jamie is awesome, has lead an amazing life, is an amazing engineer. But that doesn't mean he couldn't use a little dose of humility. - Harabeck, on 04/24/2009, -1/+117They don't like each other that much, they've stated they don't socialize at all outside of the show.
- inactive, on 04/24/2009, -27/+137D-D-D-D-DOUCHEBAG!
- ZBrannigan, on 04/24/2009, -2/+100Many are questioning the purpose of this recording - its a clip from a longer piece where jamie shows the enitre M5 shop with all its rooms and whatnot, and they just stop at this and he does his passive agressive thing. The wholt tour is availible at the discovery site.
Ontopic; his behaviour is not oriented at problem solving. If hes aware that it isnt working, and has been for years - why isnt he doing somehting about it instead of being all grumpy? Solve the problem - dont be mad about it. - snobrder218, on 04/24/2009, -39/+129Exactly my thoughts. If you're being paid by someone and you're not doing what they ask, then get the ***** out. Thats like me calling my boss a douche because he wants the shelves stocked properly and straight. Heavens forbid you can't order a ***** square foot of pencils. That doesn't make him a douche, that makes you a lazy *****. The man has a job to do, he doesn't want to search through piles of ***** for a simple pencil.
- takeo1775, on 04/24/2009, -11/+94Its part of his character, its why we like watching them occasionally fight, I still like him.
- hoojx34, on 04/24/2009, -35/+116Dugg for his facial hair.
- centran, on 04/24/2009, -3/+84They don't hate each other but they also are not "friends". They are colleagues.
While they do get mad at each other it has been stated on the show that they always make up.
You can consider them a "think tank". You don't put people who think alike together in the think tank. You need the different ideas and views to make it work. Does it cause tension? Yes, but it works.
They understand this dynamic. - Shawn4168, on 04/24/2009, -15/+94STFU Jamie.
- JoshyLeeArm, on 04/24/2009, -36/+115I thought it was common knowledge that Jamie was an uptight douche...
- k3rfuffl3, on 04/24/2009, -21/+94"Should this guy holding the camera run around all day checking each station to ensure it's exactly right?
"
Yes... That's what he's payed to do. - AmaDaden, on 04/24/2009, -16/+83Wow you people make is sound like he just freaked out on the guy. He has a little OCD tick about being able to grab a sharpe and some paper. Complaining about not being able to get things to stay the way you want them is fairly normal. You only become a douchebag when you start to fire people over it. This is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
- Samurai77, on 04/24/2009, -4/+71I'd drop everything to get a shot at Kari!
- friendlyanon, on 04/23/2009, -12/+78it's not organized and theres extra items cluttering up the place...
how frustrating it must be to pay someone to do a SIMPLE job and they fail so hard. - zKman, on 04/24/2009, -6/+67Sort of reminds me of the bread scene from Spinal Tap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ardysVzHwSA - diggduggjoe, on 04/24/2009, -13/+69Tons of pens in the way, 2 calculators piled up and the paper towel was still wrapped. I am sure he wants it ready to go. No BS.
If, its your job do it right. The boss has a reason for the stations and your job is to maintain them. That does not a make Jaime a douchebag.
The purpose of those stations is to make sure little ***** doesn't slow you down. He should put a paper towel holder on the bottom of the station though. - bkrejchi, on 04/24/2009, -1/+56C'mon and throw me a fricken bone here. I've been frozen for thirty fricken years.
- Cager, on 04/24/2009, -31/+85He pays your salary, he hired you to do a job. If you can't do the job, you're going to get called on it. Sorry to all the lazy people who think that makes your boss an uptight douche but I'd be doing the same thing. Goddamn what's with people these days?.
- Karbonista, on 04/24/2009, -15/+69Srsly have any of you actually had jobs in the real world?
The reason Jamie can't get his stations set up the way he wants them is that he won't fire the incompetent boob who can't get it right. A douchebag would be screaming at you and calling you a worthless piece of ***** to your face. Jamie is being calm and even-handed about this. I read the headline and was expecting a Christian Bale type video. Man some of you have no idea... - groverblue, on 04/24/2009, -23/+75He's not being a dick at all. He has a shop and he wants it organized in a way that makes him more efficient. The camera dude his supposed to keep the stations that way - he is GETTING PAID to keep them that way. The creator of that video is a douchebag.

- anubis2night, on 04/23/2009, -42/+87if he really want's this always kept stocked just so he could just have a diagram of how he wants it stocked and a drawer with all the supplies neatly arranged and ready to go. Then just have someone in the morning come along and check the shelf to match the diagram. Problem here is that all of the stuff is there just not organized.
- ammundsen, on 04/24/2009, -9/+54I agree. It is a business. His business. And he has work to do. A lot of professions require attention to detail. I want my pilot being all douchey about making sure the aircraft he is going to fly is just right.
- inactive, on 04/24/2009, -7/+51Looks like somebody broke their hyneman... talk about being on the rag.
