This is the WORST dishwasher EVER!

Some days it seems like you just can’t win. I’m sure that Langdon Florg, CEO and Founder of Florg Dishwashers feels like that. His company’s first dishwasher looks like a complete failure.

This notice is the work Jeff Wysaski, an online comedian who makes up funny signs and puts them in public places, hoping to bring a bit of humor to otherwise routine experiences.

Even though Langdon Florg is a fictional character, I can’t help but have a little sympathy for him as he apologizes for his effort and explains the flaws in his company’s first attempt to make a dishwasher. You can almost tell by the tone of this message that he and his company have tried SO HARD to make a good dishwasher… and have failed miserably.

It’s unlikely that Florg Dishwashers is going to sell many of these. I can’t imagine that the general public would want a kitchen appliance with all of these quirks. But if there were just ONE person who used plastic cups and plates, lived far away from people, was off the power grid, liked bears, was deaf, and really like oranges, this might be the PERFECT product.

The encouragement from that ONE person might be enough to motivate Langdon Florg and his company to move forward, take the lessons learned from the first dishwasher, and really make that next one much better.

I bet that you might know a friend or loved one a similar situation; starting something new and feeling discouraged by their first attempt. That person might even be you, hesitating to learn to paint or sing or dance because you know that you’re not going to be very good to start. Or launching your first program or product, not knowing how it will be received.

But it’s okay if we don’t hit a home run on our first swing. A little time, encouragement, and support can go a long way and it doesn’t cost you anything. In fact, it’s cheaper than the cost of this dishwasher, and unlikely you’ll have to get used to the smell of burnt hair.

    Langdon my man! Hey, it’s our loss you know. He was just ahead of his time, a true visionary. Who doesn’t need a dishwasher when they’re out camping? And Langdon came through! Woo-hoo!
