Nancy! dang! I am soooo there!! how about when when ex-best friend would ask for me to pick the place to go out to eat! she would say lets go out to eat, anywhere you want! I love TGI Fridays! I would suggest there! she would say - nooo I went last week ok? how about the diner next to work she would say nooo don't want to drive out that way! ok- so ummm... how about you pick a place? You must know my DH. Asking him where he wants to go out to eat is often the stupidest thing that I could possibly have done for the day. Me: Where do you want to go eat? DH: I don't care. Wherever you want to go. You're the picky one. (Yet he won't eat tomatoes, mushrooms, meat on a bone, or eleventy billion other things and I'm the picky one?!?!?! My only caveat is NO SEAFOOD!!!!! I was born and raised in New England and just the smell makes me want to vomit.) Twenty minutes later: Me: WOULD YOU FUCKING PICK SOMEPLACE BEFORE I RIP YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then off to a sub shop we go. I am so sick of subs. And he wonders why I drink so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things I want to say to my office manager (in bold) and my reasoning: Why do you always ask me questions, then respond with, "Oh, I already know that."(If you already freaking knew the answer, why did you waste any of my precious seconds of existence on earth asking?) What is it in your brain that triggers you to open your mouth and allow crap to flow out before another human being has the chance to finish their sentence?(Because whatever that trigger is, I'd like to see it harnessed for better use. Maybe as a weapon of mass destruction against despotic leaders of vicious terrorist groups.) How long have you been color-blind and fashion-challenged, and does it run in the family?(That pink and orange polyester muu-muu and those blue slides are so...so...not part of any known decade. If you showed up on E!'s Fashion Police show, Joan Rivers' jaw would actually hit the floor, thus returning her face to its normal position.) Hmm...I think I might be working with the hag's younger cousin. She's not quite as bad (yet!), but she'll ask questions, wait for you to start to respond, then answer her own question and start walking away. No muu-muu's but she does have a love affair with interesting color combos and gaudy striped tights.

@empressspunkles - thanks! laughing now since we're on the same page! that is so frustrating! but - I'll add a work thing to the other male admin! I've purchased you 3 wireless headsets that aren't cheap! every time the new model comes out! and you still use at high volume and scream into your fucking speaker phone! I get you the wireless headset for a reason buddy!! and two: why? I can NOT figure out WHY? he gets such compliments! Thanks, great job, You're the best! when HE WAS THE FUCKING CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM(S)!!! Example: tech asks him to order a part - ok! 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month later tech is asking where is the part? he looks into it and finds out the part was sent to the credit card billing address! then he tells tech -I don't know how that happened!! Then he has to pay extra for rush delivery - then the Tech gets his part next day or 2 days later - calls him up to confirm he has the part with a compliment!! this happens often enough / far more than just once!

I have complimented someone before, only to find out they totally screwed things up! Pissed me off, big time. Once, when I called to complain about service, the guy wouldn't tell me who I needed to talk to. I then asked, who do I talk to in order to compliment someone's work? He replied "Me!". To which I said "Good to know. But that's not what I'm calling for!" followed by my complaint. When I was working at the local gas company, people were always threatening to go all electric. I always wanted to say "Here, let me dial for you." or "Please, would you?!" After explaining to a woman the reason she was charged $0.06 interest several times (payment was late), I finally paid the 6 cents out of my own pocket. It just wasn't worth wasting my time on any more.

Haven't you ever seen Wizard of Oz? That's Hollywood. I meant I've never seen them on anyone in RL. Then again, I live in the land of socks or hosiery, because it's a bazillion percent humidity.

Now imagine them in hot pink/black, red/green, burnt orange/neon lime green, etc. Usually with coordinating (not!) shoes and hair clips. And not on a young, cute thing, but on a well over 30 year old whose figure isn't complemented at all by horizontal stripes.
