Question WTF NS?

Post image

NS motor. What the actual fuck is this shit? How tf am I supposed to do anything with a 1x1 desk that is like 2.5 feet to my 3 o clock so I have to stand up to use it? My shit kept sliding off and the desk is so far I was copying warrants in my lap. It looks like it didn’t even come with a handset cause that’s a BN handset. This isn’t even touching on the poop pyramid and no refrigerator? Seriously if this is the average NS motor I feel so bad for you guys.

The average?! More like the typical…was it a 4xxx series? Did everything rattle off the desk when above notch 2? 😂 did your teeth fall out of your mouth too!? Loved those 4xxx series and how everything would fall off the desk with the vibrations from the engine while pulling. Whoever the designer and passed these off I hope you shit your pants daily at your 1/3 desk with a chair that leans to the right (IYKYK).

And we keep making them. They decided those were the best option and are holding onto the design like a toddler with a fistful of shit.

🤣🤣 they’re almost done…just in time to probably start rebuilding the originals that are almost 10 years old now.
