The company I work at is named kinda like this. I don't want to give the exact name, but let's say that if I was an engineer, I'd work at "The Engineering Company."

It makes me sound like a super bad liar whenever I tell people my job, lol

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s a very subtle way of bragging about working for The Electric Company

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

he's obviously working for the boring company

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Lmao I too worked for The Clown Company. Their promises were vast but ultimately still fit within my wallet.

“The Browser Company”is one I’ve seen that’s like this. They make a browser, funnily enough

On Street View, the sign says "No patient drop-offs. Pick up only for surgery center." What a convenient policy if you don't want to risk getting medical patients in your medical building.

Seems like they're just trying to avoid being overloaded, being the default/else location when the provider name is left unspecified

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

"What's your name?"

(Sighs) "Doctor Smith..."

There's a place just outside D.C. (in Crystal City) called the Crystal City Restaurant. It's a strip club. I've always assumed the name was purely to provide cover for its patrons.

"Where are you going with the boys, sweetie?"

"Oh, we'll probably just pop down to the Crystal City Restaurant again, grab a bite..."

There used to be a strip club in Orange County called “The Library”. Always made me laugh when we drive by the billboard

“Got a big test coming up, I’ll be at the library with my phone off”

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The college I went to had a bar right off campus called The Library, named for similar reasons.

Meanwhile my local strip joint is called The Basement, really setting expectations there.

The wonderful thing about that place is that it doesn't look like a strip club, The way it's done out it looks like a up market hipster bar. I know that because I thought it was a hipster bar for a long time and went in. Bit awkward that one.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can top that, lol. My local strip joint is called The Outhouse. It's a small cinderblock building next to a corn field.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

there was a pub where I grew up named The Office

We talkin' Orange county CA or FL, cause I know jack from shit about Florida but that certainly sounds like some Orange county California shit (though it'd be more fitting in Highland or San Bernardino).

Went to a strip club once to eat a poutine with a colleague and of course when I got my credit card bill, the strip club had a very restaurant name.

My old job the accountant wrench was convinced I was stealing money with every expense report. So I made a point to buy normal food from liquor stores, complete with non-itemized receipts. I enjoyed submitting those.

[–] PowerGloveSoBad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey I remember that place. A friend of mine took me there when I was visiting. They went to, erm, University of... Maryland... University. College. Yeah, that's it

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I work in Logistics.... at the.... logic.... factory?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need you guys to ramp your production up

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Supply chain issues.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this right next to the business factory?

[–] Lemmy_at_it@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 year ago

This is where Dr. Adultman goes to do a medicine

[–] Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sounds like the combination an idiot would use on his luggage.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

What are the odds? I have the same combination on my luggage?

Unit # 420.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“Uh huh. You know… If you don’t want to tell me where you work you can just say.”

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not his real name (for obvious reasons) but pretty close. Joe Commander. I said that the first time he told me.

[–] jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I swear that Surgery Center text looks like The Deal or no Deal font...

[–] echodot 1 points 1 year ago
[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Right next to the Industrial Factory and the Business Place, across from Franchise Convenience Store.

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 year ago

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

6th floor, room number 7

[–] PowerGloveSoBad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Small world-- I actually work next door at 123456 Street Hwy. It's not the nicest Commercial Store franchise in downtown Townington, but they're all kinda similar tbh

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Simple enough, it just might work.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I know a font when I see it.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah this is genius

[–] wharsmetoothpicson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's right beside Norm MacDonald's University of Science

That's a good school, by the way.
