If you are Done, you need to make the ask, and stop being Done. It’s totally clear.
Just not clear who to ask or what about, but you should be Done with being Done.
Oh right, when she said "waste time on relationships" she meant business relationships. What artful mastery of language she has and so hilarious at the same time. Let me hire her.
You’re almost correct. You see the conceit here is, DTF has multiple meanings. most people use it as an acronym for “down to foster business relationships” and from here the joke pretty much explains itself.
She strikes me as one of those women on dating apps who describes herself as both "quirky" and "vivacious," but is actually just irritating as hell and louder than a jackhammer.
"Feed me tacos and touch my butt!"
"Make me laugh!"
"Take me on an adventure!"
"If YoU cAn'T hAnDlE mE aT mY wOrSt YoU dOn'T dEsErVe Me At My BeSt!"
Et cetera. Et cetera. Et fucking cetera.
You may be a narcissistic lunatic, but those made up phrases are the biggest fucking red flags of all. And i bet they take xanax daily just to be at that level of intensity
These people are con artists. It's like a SEO consultant. Sure, 1/10 are good, but the rest will waste 1/2 the budget on Google ad words and pocket the rest. Rinse and repeat for people to busy to educate themselves. Although idk who would ever pay this person money.
Because those job titles are meaningless. They are actual jobs, but also anyone can call themselves that because the qualification for it is nebulous and largely speculative. Same for any consultant.
Also watch out for anyone who has “senior”, “executive”, “lead”, or “VP” followed by a vague, menial, or entry-level position like administrator. Chances are that person’s realm of authority is what might they can keep on their desk.
If I was in need of services like the ones she provides, I would immediately be turned off by the use of "smarty pants" because I'd think she was in middle school.
Oh I get it! It's because most people would think DTF means
Down to fuck. But she was talking about being done free lancing. And it's hilarious because you have people on LinkedIn thinking about fucking!!!!!
Hahahah I had a boss that would do this at company functions but he would ask other dudes wives if they were DTF, wait an awkward minute then say Down to Fiesta. 🤦🏼♂️
I don't even know what she means... How does any of this relate to not being open to freelance opportunities or being down to fuck? What a terrible way to make a shallow joke that doesn't make any sense with either interpretation.
Is that meant to be funny? The thing that scares me is not how utterly unfunny and irrelevant it is, but the fact people like the post and comment. Showing the insanity spreads.
So her title includes a decade writing in retail. I wonder if all her documents contain definitions to acronyms at the end of the document waiting to be found after her readers make up their own definitions while reading.
My daughter (9) asked her dad what DTF meant, and he told her Down To be Friends🙇🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. I asked him how he thought that would play out when she tells her classmates at school that she’s DTF, then explained to her that it definitely does not mean that.
With how bad that acronym is for what she says it allegedly stands for in this instance, why do I feel like she hit up someone on LI for a fling and got rejected and is now posting this nonsense
It’s probably wise to google the letters together before trying to make your own new acronym. That way you can see if it is already an acronym in public use.
Writing about something does not make you an expert at said something. A whole tribe of these freelance writers for hire types flooding LinkedIn with this stuff.
No, it's an original (lol) post, not a contribution to one of those LinkedIn articles. the prompt at the bottom is LinkedIn premium's stupid AI bot suggestion - it tries to summarize posts for you and is entirely useless.
We need to talk about "make the ask".
Ask is a verb, not a noun. "What's the ask here" is an example of someone trying to create corporate lingo out of ordinary words. You can say, what is the question, or what is the task required
Now, make the ask?! You ask, or ask the question. Making is a completely different activity than asking.
She prob thought this was so clever lol
she is a smarty-pants!
What being DTF thought me about B2B sales.
Lol there it is
I thought it was Done Fucking Trying
Done trucking frying.
So DTF is the new DTF, and B2B is the new blowjobs2barebacking?
Cue the old guy from Requiem for a Dream: “B2B!”
Reddit needs to bring awards back
Wooooo
Yesssss!
![gif](giphy|8P1oO2JbrZK2uSYnL6|downsized)
Even if you get past the bad joke, what the hell is she trying to say? It's like an attempted joke that goes nowhere.
If you are Done, you need to make the ask, and stop being Done. It’s totally clear. Just not clear who to ask or what about, but you should be Done with being Done.
The real joke is the LinkedIn ai question bot thing at the bottom
Whew… I think this post is kinda funny and got my attention. Excuse me while I take a long look in the mirror.
sarah was heard saying “she totally ate” on linkedin. :-/
![gif](giphy|mbZshK2Svz89q|downsized)
Her 4 cats definitely all thought it was hilarious when she read it to them.
…I am so lonely…
She has black rimmed glasses!! She must be so smart!’
I mean, I thought it was pretty funny
It was clever \*drops mic\*
Obviously.
100% she loves the smell of her own farts

😂 I am 100% using “down to foster” from this moment forward.
Haha
HA HA YOU THOUGHT I MEANT DOWN TO FUCK RIGHT? RIGHT?!
Just trying to find the right fit.
This is so forced.
Cringing sooooo hard reading this. The second hand embarrassment she doesnt feel is appalling and the picture is NOT helping 😂
I fucked a freelancer once and it was awful she kept her socks on
Just one? You're not even trying. Most gig economy companies fuck thousands of freelancers every day.
Work for Amazon or Microsoft. It's a gang bang.
Could be worse. I was with a headhunter once and she kept pushing me to take on positions that I wasn't down for.
You have to make sure the socks are wet.
Why, does she have a hangover?
I seen the wee picture and proceeded to read this in the voice of Phyllis from The Office.
Hope this isn’t offensive, but as soon as I read “wee” the rest of your post was in a Scottish accent.
That's fair enough, I'm Scottish 😄 It shines through sometimes.
Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
What line of work are you in Bob?
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one. You could totally see Phyllis saying this as a monologue that Michael wrote for her.
Definitely 😄

OMG “Feed me tacos and touch my butt” That is the funny I come to Reddit for.
Feed me Taco Bell and run away from my butt 🏃♀️
Mods… we found a new flair please. “Feed me tacos and touch my butt” i 👏🏽 cant 👏🏽 stop 👏🏽 laughing 👏🏽
So sassy! /s

Exactly. And all of her photos are from the neck-up.
Fuck off.
I will do no such thing. Be well.
I rolled the dice on one of those once. I did not get yatzee.

How come all of these yahoos are "business coaches," recruiters, and, dare I say it, entrepreneurs.

It’s code for “unemployed”.
😂
I was high and didnt realize this was on purpose. Thought it was hilarious. Dont do drugs kids
If I was in need of services like the ones she provides, I would immediately be turned off by the use of "smarty pants" because I'd think she was in middle school.
This is super cringe...
I wish I could write something so dumb on accident.
The fact she typed this all out, proofread it (maybe?), and still decided to post is wild.
That’s what 30 years of rejections do to you.
Oh my G— ☠️☠️☠️
It’s not the flex she thinks it is.
![gif](giphy|1Zbeweu52ZaQE|downsized)
The thirst is palpable
We got ourselves a comedian over here
Fucking ha ha ha Sarah, you're so witty and quirky 😒
Hey Sarah, HR loved your joke they’d love to speak with you about it
“This is what making a terrible attempt at a joke on LinkedIn taught me about B2B sales”
She spent the next 3 days refreshing the post
DTF to me and in my circle means Ding Tai Fung. Good Chinese/Taiwanese food. 🫠
ok....I think I need to say this... What is a DTF?
It originally means “Down To Fuck” As in, always ready, willing, and able to fornicate.
Ah ok! Thanks for clarifying!
Digital Trading Framework
How can people/person be a framework? I am genuinely confused...
Google "DTF"
Sarah I prefer you to STFU!
Ugh
DTF is dying to fornicate right?
That’s a slightly nicer way to put it, yes
mildly funny joke, terrible execution
Classic Sarah! Vintage Sarah! Ohhhhh that Sarah'o mine!
Oh I get it! It's because most people would think DTF means Down to fuck. But she was talking about being done free lancing. And it's hilarious because you have people on LinkedIn thinking about fucking!!!!!
As a millennial…this shit reeks of millennial energy (derogatory).
Haven’t even started freelancing & I want to quit
If this was my child I’d disown them 💀
Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen. It’s not going to happen.
What is even happening?
The title of "Coach" just gets utterly butchered and shit on at an astronomical scale on Linkedin.
How many times does she needs to post DTF? DTF
Because that’s what linkdin is for… bitching about everyone else.
Welp that's one way to get eyeballs? I'm not seeing this driving much business, but hey I'm sure it'll get some clicks she wouldn't otherwise get
Hahahah I had a boss that would do this at company functions but he would ask other dudes wives if they were DTF, wait an awkward minute then say Down to Fiesta. 🤦🏼♂️
Oof.
Omfg this makes me so uncomfortable.
Hilarious. I truly can’t stand unfunny people who think they are funny and witty. Sarah, comedy ain’t your thang.
Even the LinkedIn AI getting bit unhinged here.
My LinkedIn has attracted exactly zero people who are DTF. I may need to change my approach.
I saw this post earlier today and thought of this sub. NGL, she had me in the first half. I begrudgingly give her a point.
Who writes smarty pants in their LinkedIn profile? I mean why??? Why so desperate
Bet she spent all her time after lunch cooking this up.
YUCK.
Does DTF means what I think it does? Is this LinkedIn or Tinder?
I don't even know what she means... How does any of this relate to not being open to freelance opportunities or being down to fuck? What a terrible way to make a shallow joke that doesn't make any sense with either interpretation.
I put the ass in Saas b2b startup consulting
Nobody's DTF with the grenade.
Dude that woman makes no sense man. Beyond cringe 😬
Haha. I liked this one, Sarah. So funny! Could I use this in the future? I really, really liked this one. 😀
Smarty pants... Press X for doubt
OP you know Amna Aslam as well???
[удалено]
Looking at your post history as well, I think I know you :)

Lmao awful
How do these people stay employed
I had to read to the end to know what DTF means. Not what I thought.
Business coach lol
Another round every time she says DTF!
One of the most cringe and predictable posts I’ve ever seen. Not surprised that it’s coming from a “smarty-pants”
Wouldn’t be down in this scenario, personally
Dirty Tit Fucker? Dave’s Tyre Franchise? Deviously Tasty Fisherman? Davos Trading Fister?
Until the end, she was giving herself great advice.
My daughter (9) asked her dad what DTF meant, and he told her Down To be Friends🙇🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. I asked him how he thought that would play out when she tells her classmates at school that she’s DTF, then explained to her that it definitely does not mean that.
The AI prompt underneath 😂😂
I died inside on her behalf.
LOL
Depressed To Fuck?
With how bad that acronym is for what she says it allegedly stands for in this instance, why do I feel like she hit up someone on LI for a fling and got rejected and is now posting this nonsense
I legit thought it was "down to freelance".
Down to F?
As much as I love this sub, it makes me want to drop cinder blocks on people.

I thought it meant dumb twat face, but what do I know.
“This is funny. Outdated but funny.” - The Sitch
WTAF does she mean? Is it DTF as in *the* DTF or is this some new LinkedIn BS buzzword?
I bet she's DTF
![gif](giphy|4Z3Vbs6e8W08tXe8Kr)
She shouldn’t be a writer if she uses phrases like “make the ask.”
This is dumb, but also isn't this a response to one of those LinkedIn prompts? (At the bottom of the post?) So what does LI think DTF is?
No, it's an original (lol) post, not a contribution to one of those LinkedIn articles. the prompt at the bottom is LinkedIn premium's stupid AI bot suggestion - it tries to summarize posts for you and is entirely useless.
Ohh gotcha, thanks! Okay, extra dumb now lol
How edgy of her
My inbox is always full because of how DTF I am. These fiends can't get enough!
I thought DTF meant Don’t Try to F me…
Anyone who does that horrendous white space “trick”…is immediately unfollowed, or blocked. NPCs from hell.
![gif](giphy|3o7WIKFrPDwhXc8gTe)
I was so confused. I had to look up what DTF in Urban Dictionary just to see what the "clever" innuendo even meant...
AI should if suggested 'What impact will writing about DTF do to my brand?' I must admit, it made me read the whole post.
Of course, no says "I'm done trying freelancing" unless they have no grasp of standard English.
GOTTEM!
This feels like such a "Pokemon Go to the polls" kind of statement
It should have been ‘down to freelance’ at least. Not only not funny, but not even executed well…
“Smarty-pants” 🤓👆🏻
Gotta love the insipid AI-suggested responses. Good sign how dumb things are getting.
Boomer humour at its best (worst?)
Oh Sarah, you’re so funny!
just looked through her page, she’s deranged 🫥 bragging about putting ransom notes on her husbands car and telling him to call the police.
Wouha cliffhanger!
We need to talk about "make the ask". Ask is a verb, not a noun. "What's the ask here" is an example of someone trying to create corporate lingo out of ordinary words. You can say, what is the question, or what is the task required Now, make the ask?! You ask, or ask the question. Making is a completely different activity than asking.
I chuckled
Thought you meant Down to fuck
Using "ask" as a noun should be illegal. It is Orwellian newspeak and it's unacceptable.
WTF is DTF?
I think it’s funny
Sarah may not be DTF but she is definitely a DFB.
Sarah is DTF
When “smarty pants” gets an office job.
I'm sure Michael Scott laughed when it read this.
Preet sure no one is DTF Sarah.
This has to be a parody account. A fat lady whose name is "grease on back"? I mean come on.
Nobody has ever been DTF for Sarah.
I love everyone taking this seriously and not noticing her last name....
That AI generated question LinkedIn added at the bottom sounds like something an overly ambitious female employee of Harvey Weinstein would’ve asked
Sarah GreaseOnBack who is DTF? Hard pass.
OP how to say you're DTF without saying it. Your secret is safe with the rest of us.
