engineering company I worked for. When people fricked up the supervisor would ask them if they were "born stupid"

"long jeopardy" around the office... she meant "longevity"


That's like when I was in 4th grade and one girl meant to say "be specific" and said "be Pacific" instead. We were playing some game and a guy blurted out, "Big Pacific!" The whole class laughed and the midget teacher from the class next door came over to check on whether our teacher had lost control of us.

Testing different chemicals to see which broke down parrafin (a hydrocarbon) the quickest or most efficient. Supervisor suggested to "even try water." Yes, water to break down a hydrocarbon.

I once misplaced a power cord to a machine and he told me that now he has to order a new power cord and said it costs $150 to replace.

5 minutes later I found one online for $15.

Tried to tell me I didn't understand regulations for moving fuel.... I literally had the regulations in my hand was quoting them verbatim. His boss literally slapped him in the back of the head. Pretty cool to see a field grade officer smack the frick out of a company grade officer.

When I was at Dick's, my supervisor wanted me to leave the airport 2 hours before my flight to come check something out at the store. I really wanted to laugh and hang up.

A couple of us were sitting around the office yesterday and my boss said we were being "sedimentary."

i love eating aborted fetuses. Love it. Not even cooked . I like to just eat the brains and intestines right out of aborted fetuses. Sometimes I'll take the little kidneys and livers and fry them up nice with some carmalized onions but most of the time I'm all about aborted fetus mashed raw jelly

The dumbest thing my boss said are the questions he asked in the interview. Should have never taken the job when the questions are that easy and are at grade school level. Money is good,work from home, make my own hours, kids happened and still stuck there.

Wife keeps saying you have it good. I have to listen to this dumb CTO of mine everyday

when I was fresh out of college I was working at a place that was an old building refurbished into an office building and sat atop a big arse hill in Oxford. When all the tornadoes came through back in 2010 or so and torn up a bunch of junk, I was in the office eating to make my run towards the gulley. His comment to me was "the safest
place for any of us to be right now is in the building. The building was a shite tin shed with basically free standing drywall and heavy biological equipment everywhere. That guy was/is a dipshit and a terrible person and that isn't the dumbest just what I can remember of hand.
ETA: he very well may post here and if so, I hope he sees this.

"Have a nice weekend, everyone."

It was Tuesday. And she didn't have the rest of the week off.
