    @lovefromhelen @HBOMaxHelp At least it was most likely all women. My worst, I sent an email to org at Nike with the subject line "Netflix and Chill".....I (and the 4 other people the proofed the email) didn't know that meant what it means. There was a lot of embarrassment and LOTS of laughs.

  • SDSchulzey Ryan Schulze (@SDSchulzey) reported

    @YouTubeTV @hbomax I get that this is a FREE weekend, but for we subscribed to #HBOMax thru #YoutubeTV why are we denied access to the HBO Max App? My subscription on all my devices now says inactive. I'd renew, but then I assume I'll be double charged once the glitch is fixed.

  • CrtfdSprvlln Certified Supervillain (@CrtfdSprvlln) reported

    @kristiandermody @hbomax Fight your fight my man! I trust they would have said something to the effect of, "the error has been corrected" if they were terminating the intern.

  • gamer_ready_ DustyB 🎮 Gamer_Ready 🎮 (@gamer_ready_) reported

    The #ps5 @hbomax app is broken. Wont launch at all.

  • BatmanNerd16 Amelia Nyquist (@BatmanNerd16) reported

    @JCOBrien42 @hbomax Is it worse than Disney+? Cause I have lots of problems with their PS4 app still.

  • offbrandsince93 🤍 (@offbrandsince93) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp plus, bad haircuts can help field a lot of corporate creeps 👍

  • HeroOfTimeAS Hero of Time and Space (@HeroOfTimeAS) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, While working for @Uber, I ran a manual audit and revoked access to a good portion of our most senior engineers, some 700 people in total. I think I even managed a C-Suite in there. The fault is in the system that allows errors, not in making them. Keep learning!

  • vulgarweed Wintry Minx 🔞 (@vulgarweed) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once left Harry Potter fanfic on the printer at work. It was NC-17. Snape/Hermione. I wasn't just reading it, I wrote it.

  • sportymouse LA Mascia (@sportymouse) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Y it was defined a weird email. I figured it to be an error.

  • agutowski88 Alicia Gutowski (@agutowski88) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I once paged “Betty White” over the intercom during a busy Sunday at work instead of paging my coworker Betty (redacted). It’s obviously minor in the scheme of things and I no longer work there, but my former coworkers still love to tease me about it.

  • RadioFreeJake Jason TheCasbah Sparks (@RadioFreeJake) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern: I'm 49, and haven't done a lot of web-based work, but in 1996, I knocked a dot-matrix printer off of a desk and broke it. By bumping into it. With my ***. Yep, I was walking past the desk and had insufficient *** clearance. We all have such a story.

  • ByErinWeaver erin, known Pennsylvanian (@ByErinWeaver) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp One time while running the @SInow Twitter account, I tweeted that someone won the US Open by 3 “points.” Apparently not the correct term! Awful Announcing and B*rstool wrote articles about it. Ur doing amazing sweetie

  • stevenrockwell Steven Rockwell (@stevenrockwell) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have no problems with the interns for the email, **** happens. I do have a problem with your ****** devs team that built a ****** *** platform that hardly ever works and is far inferior to Dis+ and Netflix

  • mgpcoe Matthew G P Coe (@mgpcoe) reported

    @daenney @HBOMaxHelp This is familiar. Dear intern, 11 years ago, I DOS'd my employer's global platform twice in the same day, along with the office network. Without realizing it. My mgr's first question during debriefing: "why don't we have rate-limiting to prevent that?" I still work there.

  • MikeBrickner3 Mike Brickner (@MikeBrickner3) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, My first week on the job, I thought I would be helpful & start the dishwasher in the work kitchen. Except I put in the wrong kind of soap. Fast forward 20 minutes & my boss is running past my work space w/a mop & the entire kitchen is covered in suds about 6" deep

  • KansasCityEric Eric Roche (@KansasCityEric) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear Intern, I once cut the entire street light electricity budget to zero for a city of 450,000 people to "help" balance the budget. My boss did not find it helpful.

  • MrsTPow Trista Powers (@MrsTPow) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Can you tell the intern to fix the autoplay issue? After each episode it stops the show and displays an error. I can't sleep without something playing.

  • jillalters Jill Alters (@jillalters) reported

    @hbomax What did you do to the rewind and fast fwd controls on your tv app? They're awful - please put them back the way they were.

  • d_veebee Definitely not Deidre (@d_veebee) reported

    @Caissie @Carrieoakie @HBOMaxHelp I generally only eat once a day, at dinner time. Sometimes the time goes by quickly and I guess you could call it forgetting. But often it's something else and it's physically difficult to eat. Revulsion, kind of. I've broken my appetite. It's not an advantage.

  • presf2f F (@presf2f) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Issues..all..of..the..time. Iphone, ipad, AND ps4. Sick n tired of this expensive pile of ****. Really makes peacock look like a much better choice.

  • vizualpencil Eugene Gan (@vizualpencil) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, during my first job as a graphic designer, i edited all the originally shot product images for a project. Problem was, i saved over those original shots, leaving only my poorly edited ones. My boss and colleagues laughed 🤦🏻

  • sygint Syg (@sygint) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp One time I broke the adding of credit cards to a major e-commerce platform we all know. It was broken for months and all due to the fact someone had coded the form to have dynamic fields and actions.

  • Kenzibit Ken Yaw Agyeman-Badu (@Kenzibit) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Too much issues and insecurities these days. The service is losing momentum and focus.

  • RaeRoca Rae Pickett (@RaeRoca) reported

    @MimZWay @HBOMaxHelp I think it was stored on my (work-owned) Blackberry. 😬

  • RobinCook Robin (@RobinCook) reported

    @simAlity @jessicahalem @HBOMaxHelp Oh I have been there. Being a kid with no one doing the training is the worst. When I was a fledgling office worker, I once decided to use a staircase adjacent to the marketing and sales department. Someone up there called my boss and complained about it.

  • whdevreaux William H. Devereaux (@whdevreaux) reported

    @YouTubeTV @hbomax Is this supposed to work during the HBO free preview weekend? Or do we only have access through the Youtube TV app?

  • beantastico lorenzo sariñana (@beantastico) reported

    .@hbomax gonna blame the intern too for your terrible TV app?

  • MoesesKIIINT Moeses KIIINT (@MoesesKIIINT) reported

    Anyone else having problems with the @hbomax app?

  • Cryocide Cryocide (@Cryocide) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Oh no, you don't get to throw the intern under the bus. They work under supervision! Be nice to the intern!

  • Dricksus Thomas/Dricksus on Twitch (@Dricksus) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Dear intern, I used to to tech support at a call center for an internet company. Someone called in because they were having internet trouble and when I asked him to reboot his modem, he said he couldn't because he was on a plane.
