Unless, of course , your saying it's dumb to let someone know you're not backing the. Up or if you think that boss is/was intelligent never said anything dumber than this.
As long as you are 100% right, I have your back.

"Flies typically operate between 3 and 5 ft above the floor"
This was stated as support for adding electrical outlet covers on all outlets in a commercial kitchen.

Job while in college, we were painting the football field for an Easter egg hunt. He told us to split the field into 3 equal halves.
He also abbreviated etcetera as "ect."

Our call center added a Spanish speaking department and my immediate manager stated that the Dept would speak Mexican to help serve our clients better - she's no longer with the company

When I first got out of law school we had a meeting with all attorneys about how to properly use smart phones; they asked everyone to bring their phone to the meeting. There was this 70 year old partner who didn't use a computer for email or anything. He is late to the meeting, and afterwards one of the secretaries told everyone that he yelled for her to come in his office. He was trying to figure out how to unplug his desktop landline phone to bring to the meeting

My supervisor has no clue how to do my job, so he doesn't say shite to me.
Most days I get, "how are things going" or "how's it looking".

I don't work with any dumbasses. Everyone is probably smarter than me.
But my boss uses the word "leverage" so much it makes me want to shoot a nail gun into my ear holes.

At a former job I spent a half hour on 2 separate occasions trying to explain to my supervisor that working 10 and a half hours should be entered on a time sheet as 10.5 hours and not 10.3.

Honestly can't think of anything, as much as I might like to

Company I worked for was bought out be a larger company. Two months later, at a national meeting, the president of the new company talked about what a great job we had done.
His final words: "We aren't going to change a thing."

One of our very senior sales reps. Didn't have a smart phone, no email at home - guy had to ask his wife to go with him to Kinkos or similar to help him print emails etc. I can't think of anything else. Guy finally retired. I'm sure had a pager somewhere in his inventory- when I get that old and out of the current technology I would hope someone would tell me to retire or get with the program

Yep. The man was truly stupid. Notice I said trying to explain. He never got it. The first time I decided it wasn't worth wasting any more of my time and gave up. The second time, I made him call his supervisor to resolve it. He then tried to argue with his supervisor. He was made to change it to what I said, but to this day I bet he still thinks he was right.

Former CEO just could not say the word variable and said veritable.
New #2 guy now that just constantly says goofy cornball crap like "flushing out the big rocks". He described a process as being divided in the phases of forming, storming, & performing or some BS like that. Its bad enough that he's a total walking cliché but he also looks like Spanky from the Lil Rascals. I have a hard time taking him serious.

We have a rep in Texas that always using these odd analogies for sales situations- I think he's trying to impress the team. But most of us can't understand what the analysis means? Maybe it's us -ha

I had a supervisor remind us, at a safety meeting, to drink the 'gatorade' they provided. He said it would 'replace your electric slides'. Imagine it in a Belle River-Pierre Part accent...

Not my supervisor but this guy I work with constantly puts "on" in front of today or tomorrow like it's a day of the week. Such as "on tomorrow I will be late." What are we doing on today?"
