musical bureaucracies

Getting bounced from one bureaucracy to another to another ad nauseum, with not one of them actually helping you at all.
I wanted to get a free COVID-19 test done on me and was initially told that this one bureaucracy could do it. After I arrived over there, they told me they couldn't help me at all and that I had to go to this other department. After arriving at the second department, I was told that they couldn't help me as well and that my best bet was to just go to Walgreens or CVS. I just got done setting up an appointment with Walgreens. Hopefully, Walgreens can help me out. This whole game of musical bureaucracies totally sucks ass!

Dirty Burak

When you jizz in a Döner and give it someone to eat without them knowing.
Yesterday I gave my neighbour a Dirty Burak. She told me afterwards, it was the best Döner she ever had.

digital-bureaucracy

The complex, frustrating system of rigid forms, automated decision trees, and faceless interfaces that governs our interactions with online platforms. A modern form of red tape where every click feels like paperwork and every fix is hidden three menus deep. Common in online marketplaces, customer service portals, and government websites.
“I just wanted to update my address, but eBay’s digital-bureaucracy made me verify my identity with a pigeon and a moon landing certificate.”
