We are all tool people.

"Tool man" usually refers to a person who works hard for others, is on call, has never been treated equally in some cases, and is used as a tool by the other party.

It is clearly a "person" in the true sense, but it is regarded as a means to achieve a certain goal. Bank customer service with break time in seconds in the system; Internet giants are limited to "996" social animals that solve physiological problems; Cheng, commuting there is upside down day and night ... Contemporary people will unconsciously fall into the predicament of "tool people" under various circumstances, and they can't escape without making money. As human beings, their needs are always ignored. After all, no one really cares whether a tool is tired, whether it needs rest or whether it needs praise.

On June 8th, 2020, 165438+ "Toolman" was selected as "Top Ten Internet Hotwords in 2020".

Now there are all kinds of "tool people" on the Internet. They are keen on sharing their helplessness and self-mockery in life, looking for a sense of identity in life and getting a little entertainment from the fingernails of time.

Upper segmentation robot

@ deerskin

I am an e-sports boy. I met a girl in the game before. In the game, I take her to the king every season; After the game, we talked in full swing every day. Just when I thought we had a chance to confess to her and take her to the king, I found that she had deleted me the next day.

Maybe I am the so-called scoring robot.

Marriage tool man

@ A basket case

I'm getting married next week, but I'm not happy to marry another person soon. I believe my fiancee feels the same way, because we are just trying to accomplish one of those "life tasks"-getting married.

I am a postal worker. When I stopped on a crowded road until late at night, I never received any phone calls or text messages from my fiancee. When I come home from work every day, what I get is not the warm words and hot meals in the beautiful legend, but the indifference of my fiancee and the greasy and messy pots and pans in the sink.

This year's epidemic, I was sent to Wuhan to help. My fiancee made a phone call and briefly asked about my recent situation. For the remaining month, she never contacted me again. Even when I talked to her during my few breaks, she didn't reply much, or didn't reply until a day later.

My fiancee and I went on a blind date together two years ago. At first, I felt like a young man in love, and I wanted to ask my fiancee out when I was free. But success is rare, because her time will always be caught by her best friends and sisters and various trivial matters at home. So although my fiancee and I live very close, it is difficult to meet.

After the wedding plan was decided the year before last, I bought my own house and contacted the decoration company to determine the decoration template and prepare for the wedding. It is always said that girls are keen on their own wedding design and the decoration of their own houses, but their fiancee rarely participates in these things. Everything, I can't see her expectation and enthusiasm for this marriage. Maybe I'm just a tool for her to complete the "marriage" task.

There are not a few people who believe that unmarried men and women are mixed into this "ghost". In today's society, everyone advocates freedom of marriage and love. I also thought about giving up, but because we were introduced by relatives, I am old, and I can only make do with it. In the final analysis, I am just a person kidnapped by life tasks and become a "tool person" on my own life path.

A bargaining tool

@ Feifei

Wechat receives one or two messages to help bargain every day, and many will receive seven or eight in a row. Many people send bargaining messages, because my WeChat work number and private number often receive the same bargaining link. Ironically, they didn't have any address or greetings, but just threw a link, and I didn't reply to each other's reply, completely treating me as a bargaining machine on the list.

At first, I will patiently take the time to explain to them that this routine has no practical effect and persuade them to give up, but in their eyes, this will only be the reason why I don't want to help. Even in the circle of friends, I sent a long article explaining that this bargaining routine is not desirable, but few people believe it. Later, I was not interested in explaining. As long as I receive the bargaining information, I will reply uniformly: Sorry, I don't have this software.

More times, no one sent me bargaining information, and my WeChat was finally "clean".

camera operator

@ Xiaoyu

Some time ago, the company organized a group construction. Before leaving, the manager gave me a task: taking pictures of the team. From the beginning of the team building to the end of the group building, I heard the most words: Xiaoyu, take a photo!

I didn't appear in the photo, in the photo, in all kinds of photos. No one came to me and said, I'll take your picture. It's like a gyro spinning between different disciplines. At the end of the day, my neck is sour and stiff. Even so, I didn't get a thank you. After the league building, I got the title of "professional photographer".

"It won't happen again," I thought.

...................

And so on, there are many "tool people" of all kinds. They are trapped in different scenes, doing things they don't want to do and can't escape.

Rousseau said: People are born free, but they are everywhere in chains. Isn't this the portrayal of contemporary people? Although the heart is free, it is involuntary, helpless and true.
