why men are dumb, take 63785

So I'm grocery shopping tonight, at the food store that is conveniently located behind where I work, and my cell phone rings.

I check the caller ID (wonderful invention) and sigh.

Me: What.
Boss: Where are you?
Me: Pathmark.
Boss: Pathmark? What the fuck are you doing there?
Me: *rolling eyes* Playing with myself. What the fuck do you think I'm doing at the food store?
Boss: *pausing* Oh. Why aren't you at work?
Me: It's quarter after 5, it's about a hundred degrees out, you're lolling on the fucking beach, and I'm stuck running this goat rodeo. I was annoyed, so I left.
Boss: *another pause* Oh. Can you go back? I want to get some stuff done while I'm thinking about it.
Me: I. Am. At. Pathmark.
Boss: So? It's in our backyard.
Me: *must. control. fist. of. death* It is the one day in months when I have left before the sun went down, I am shopping, and you expect me to go BACK?
Boss: Um, yeah?
Me: What drugs are you on?

Never work for friends, people. It is a Bad Idea.

I'm amazed to find out how many of us work at the exact same place!

Stupid people, inane employers...yeah, we're all in the same boat.

vatrixsta has the greatest sig line. It's a quote from the Drew Carey show and I know I'm going to mess it up but it's something like ...

"Oh you hate your job? Really? There's a support group for that. We're called everyone and we meet at the bar."
