Besides 7 or more people that I’ve spoke with that never showed up for their first day, I’ve had 5! people ( regular 5 not 5 factorial) come to me offering to work Fridays. Woohoo! I’ve taken all 5 up twice. First go round I give benefit of the doubt and it was bad timing. Second go round.. nope, you’re full of [BLEEP]. So people full of [BLEEP] is my trivial annoyance. I’m tired of it.

people full of bs is no trivial annoyance. Just due to their sheer number it is no minor matter.
no call no shows are the flippin worst. if you don't want to be there, just call and tell the boss you're done. My first no call no show was as a teenaged short order cook trainee, the head cook was a senior in HS and decided to pull a NCNS on our busiest night of the week, and I had to run the entire kitchen solo. I probably overcooked some folks' food or lost the boss some cash with oversized portions, but I ended up in full panic mode for a shift or two.
My cat. She’s turned into a stage one clinger recently. I love the little thing, but if I accidentally step on her one more time cuz she’s under my feet I might put her butt out on the curb!

Just kidding…I’d never throw her out, but I might need a restraining order for her!
My neighbor’s outdoor cat, that trots over meowing for scratches and rubs whenever she hears me outside, is starting to use my yard as a litter box. Ungrateful feline!
People that work from home and don't answer phone calls and Emails immediately.
You're home. Stop abusing the privilege!

Maybe they have caller I.D. and are screening their calls. LOL

If I'm elbows deep in a data project, like farts I am stopping to read an email unless it is further up the ladder than I am.
I've done that before and it turns out the end user is just doing a stupid and anyone could have helped them with that question, or they should have filed it through proper channels instead of emailing me.
and guess what? people that WFH also have to take bathroom breaks, too. (unless they have set up the home office in the can for maximum productivity)

I would think maximum productivity is wearing an adult diaper. No need to even move unless your idea was to actually sit on the can all day.

We use Microsoft Teams and I have the app on my phone. Homie looks like he always available, even when outside taking golf practice swings in the yard.
Got a [BLEEP] bucket? No? You’re not getting any work done if you’re getting up to take a [BLEEP]? Get a shot bucket. Got a GF or a wife at home? Can’t get those reports done if you’re getting laid. Get rid of the girl.
I’m stealing and tweaking that to apply from “Battlefield Friends”
Sha'Carri Richardson. Is there any reason she gets so much media coverage, other than the fact that she has orange hair and comically big false eyelashes?

because she is fast in spite of both lacking aerodynamics (for as blunt a way to say it as possible) and her recreational outlets (assuming the test wasn't a false positive)?
The media also draws to the stories that will get the clickthroughs. If people kept scrolling past her headlines, the media would find the next story/personality worth saturating your feed.

The buck stops with me. ANSWER YOUR BOSS... or you're fired. Pretty simple.
I have these clients I’ve worked for for about 14 years. They’re cool. But over the years I’ve suspected some weird sexual [BLEEP] vibe. Maybe it’s because she always referred to me as “hey boyfriend” or I’ve rarely seen him in anything but boxers. I’ve always kept my thoughts to myself until recently an employee suggested they were swingers or something. (Yeah, I’ve been thinking that for years) We’ve always have had a good rapport with each other. But, We’re not friends or anything. I get an email from them tonight. Their community pool is out of service . They ask me to use mine? What the [BLEEP]?!?!? Ugh, over the freaking line people!!! I don’t even live in the same neighborhood!!!!

They just want to play 'Up Periscope'.
If they are swingers tell them you don't trade down. You might lose the account, but your pool will be safe.

I get you, but I don’t get you. I certainly appreciate you. You’ve always got THE answer. And it’s always gold. Bravo, sir! Always making someone laugh.
Who asks to borrow someone else’s pool like that?
Maybe they thought your pool needed a couple of extra noodles.

So if they were both female and HOT, would your response have been different?
