That face when the client doesn’t want to rent your flip chart easels because they have their own.
Hat tip to KL!
Here's a place where you'll find pictures and video of the suckiest AV we've ever seen.

That face you make when the video company’s lead asks a stagehand to clean up a c-stand with some duvateen.
Hat tip to JW for not killing them!
Recently we did some rear projection using Barco Cinema projectors.
These things are about 200lbs each.
The planks for the scaffolding were just recently replaced, and cheap plywood was used.
Friends, don’t use 3-ply 3/8″ for refurbishing scaffold decking. 5-ply marine-grade is what you want.

There’s an overpass in Georgia that eats trucks.
The support is very close to the right lane, and there’s a lip of asphalt on the pavement. If a truck’s right wheels get on the outside of this lip, it will tip the box enough to collide with the support.

I cry.
Hat tip to J.C.!
When you have to get to DVI from Displayport, but don’t have the right dongle.
Hat tip to me – this is my monster.
I have no words.
Tip of the hat (and hopefully not the projector) to new contributor D.D.!
Sometimes, fast-fold screens with weak hinges will simultaneously bow inward and upward.
This clever individual used a scaffold stabilizer, weighted lens case and trick line to make this screen square and plumb.
Hat tip to B.F.!
