My wife is a bio-chemist. She gets the same behavior from middle management. They just forward everything.

She asks, "On lots A-C we're receiving this data, however on lots D-E, something changed and we're not receiving the appropriate yield. Management switched vendors for the base and we need QA to investigate the reason for the yield change and if it's appropriate to continue. Unless you'd like a deviation written, which can be done, but it needs the permission from GSK to do so."

A week later, she gets an email back from her boss asking her why the yields are lower and why hasn't she fixed it. They literally just forwarded the email around until they were bored and sent it back to the person requesting the info and advice.

When people type it as “Covid”. It’s an acronym. No caps is fine, whatever, you didn’t care enough to hit the shift key. All caps is correct. Just the first letter? You cared enough to capitalize it but not enough to do it right. Do you write “Radar”? Only if you’re talking about the MASH character.

Edit - I am incorrect Covi stands for coronavirus so it should be CoviD.

There's a guy at work who will honestly ask you a question, but after every little bit of your answer he'll say, "Uh-huh, yep, mm-hmm" and I get that he's trying to look attentive but it's really distracting and just comes off like he doesn't care what your answer is and just wants you to stop talking as fast as possible.

I'm switching fields (veterinary to aviation) come monday and it feels kinda gross how everyone is congratulating me on "moving up."

It's the same me, same lack of a college degree, same pay, similarly bad hours, but one is "girly" but planes are "manly" so I'm better now. New job has health insurance, so congratulate me on that maybe.

Boomers who use the disabled toilets, instead of the men's room, as their own personal poo poo palace.


you stand there outside waiting for ages, but you don't want to say anything because it could be an actually disabled person, but nope here he is again, the boomer dude who stomps out past you aggressively challenging you to say anything with a big smirk on his face and yup, he's blocked the toilet and it stinks in there. Thanks fucker.

Going to an imdb or wiki link and seeing it coloured in, that's my peak existential "what the gently caress am I doing with my life"

They also improved the language by removing a bunch of unnecessary "u" letters from words.

And one syllable from Aluminum.

Much more efficient.

I hate the term "fur baby" to describe pets. It just feels so infantile!

No, your cat is not your fur baby. It's your cat. You have a cat. Stop calling it your fur baby!

There's been this non-stop high-pitched whine in my neighborhood and I can't figure out where it is or what to do about it. It's like an emergency test signal is just on somewhere. I know it's been going since it was cold out, but now with the windows open I can hear it inside.
