It's an infographic. It's purpose is to be understandable at a glance. I thought it was a pie chart then second guessed myself then read the comments and saw a lot of comments that were confused about it. You think I am saying "A lot of people" when I mean "just me I didn't get this shit at all but I am going to say a lot of people to cover that up"? Read other comments here.... a lot of comments (which I assume come from different people) seem like those writing them are confused.

I don't have any anger here. It's a random infographic. If something like this was presented to me at a job where I needed a clear concise answer immediatley and my job depended on me using it... then I dunno maybe anger and frustration then?

I think you are reading things into my words that are not there.

Anyway TLDR: Inforgraphics are supposed to be understandable at a glance..this one is not therefore it is not a very good infographic. I dunno why I would laugh about it either...it's an infographic.
