LOL, This is great! I operate the same. My wife calls me anal, we laugh about it. That was one of my hardest things to get past after getting married. Everything keeps getting moved, pencils mixed with the pens, mixed with the pencil crayons, mixed with the felt pens and so on... As an artist, I need everything beyond perfect so when I am working, I'm not thinking about organizing stuff. I'm distracted easily. Needless to say, since getting married, I haven't accomplished as much as I used to... lol, and now with kids... Oh..., the horror...!

Interesting video... but I think I didn't get the point. Was the walrus attempting to communicate with us?

Is there a hyphen in anal-retentive?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cameraman who made this video...

Sure, he's obsessive about a lot of little things, you can see that on the show and these behind the scene clips on their fan site, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him a douchebag.

You know what they say, if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Gonna abstain on this one. I feel it is kind of douchey to call this some sort of revelation about Jamie when this is something which they make fun of him on the show from time to time. The video makes it seem like this is some sort of secret, when it really isn't. The guy is fussy and admits it, it's not like Christian Bale flipping out or Billy Bob Thorton harshing on the radio guy. It's just Jamie being Jamie.

I'm feeling that whoever made this video is the bigger douchebag.

^ totally agree with you xxovercastxx

Having mild-obsessive-compulsive-disorder / strong-pickyness doesn't make you a douchebag - blaming that trait on others like calling them stupid or something...that would make you a douchebag. All he did in this video is express mild frustration at the situation. I bet he'd be allot of fun to work for once you accept him.

Having had to deal with this kind of thing in work,"clean up that mess" when the mess consists of repairs in immediate progress and the tools in use to conduct the repairs, I'm gonna have to say this is douchebaggery and I'd say he would be a pain in the ass to work for if he gets like that with everything he wants right in front of him.

Wow, this is JUST like some chefs I've worked for. I'm actually totally relieved that I'm not the only one who can't DEAL with this kind of of douchey anal retentiveness.

I had a supervisor exactly like that. When I finally quit I used a forklift to stack his Tercel on top a dumpster.

His name is spelled Jamie Hyneman.

..I don't see why he's a douchebag to work for..

We don't know the rest of the guys duties around the shop...
For all we know the only thing he's on the payroll for is to make sure those stations are filled.

I've had a boss like that, all you need to do is take 5 minutes and go from station to station making sure they're all ok, honestly.. that's the man who's paying you, that's what he wants, do it.

Also, the film is by Russell somebody, but he says the camera man is Chris.

Yes, it's definitely like a derailed freight train to have an extra calculator at the work station. I don't know how Hyneman has managed to abstain from murdering that cunt.

so what myth is he actually trying to bust? I'm confused.

the myth that you can find good help these days.

This guy has asshole written all over his face.. No wait, that's his moustache.

Is there anyone here who understands this is more or less a joke? HE KNOWS HE'S ON CAMERA.

That is just anal retentive. He wasn't particularly nasty about it or anything.

I hate it when my co-workers get on me about shitting in the urinal.

And nobody else was able to come to this conclusion by simply looking at this dudes sense of style?

what about just putting things back where they belong so re-stocking is not needed?

Kind of a *howto video..

Adding video to channels (Howto) - requested by Eklek.

Wow. Can you complain a little more, you whiny piece of shit? YOU want it done, but don't think anybody else can do it properly (although this video disproves that theory), then FUCKING DO IT YOURSELF, YOU LAZY PRICK!

Looking at the ending couple of seconds, I felt like stabbing a few of those pencils and that x-acto knife right in this pigfucker's back as he turned to walk away.

^ Fuckin' hell.. work on your anger management.

If there were two calculators on that station, then it means there's a station out there without a calculator.

Which would probably result in Tory falling on his face again, or Adam setting his eyebrows on fire.

Whats funny about that is he is very similar to a good friend of mine. We are both old school geeks who delve in all kinds of crazy things. He's big in robotics, we both do a lot of programming. But we are both very competitive in a lot of things, especially when it comes to shooters.

His last name is Savage. My first is Adam. He is about as anal retentive as Jamie here, and I'm a kid at heart like Adam on the show. It's so funny that we laugh about this show all the time. If we looked remotely like the two, I'd think there's some kind of doppelganger thing going on.

Everybody here defending Jamie have a hard on for him...if your boss was like this to you, you'd be pissed too. Don't defend him just because he is on your beloved show, hold him up to the same standards everybody should be held to.

He's obviously an unstoppable egocentric who is a neurotic control freak and lacks even the most basic skills of common decency. No wonder Adam has such a hard time working with him.

DOUCHE ALERT

Still a virgin...

>> ^Shepppard:

all you need to do is take 5 minutes and go from station to station making sure they're all ok,

How many times a day tho?

I'm sure Jamie takes a sharpie, misplaces it or puts it in his pocket, forgets its there, then goes back to the station and "WHERES MY SHARPIE???"

You're a cock! You're a cock! You're a cock!

He needs that foam bedding airplane mechanics have with shapes cut out for all the tools. Why wouldn't he expect a CUP with a jumble of pens, pencils and tubes of mustache wax to get messed up?

Being anal is less of a problem than being unable to admit you're wrong. If the sharpie is there, don't keep moaning about it!
