Coworker #1: She keeps sending me e-mails from home, wanting me to do all this shit that can totally wait until she gets back in the office… She’s supposed to be on vacation, for Christ’s sake!
Coworker #2: So just tell her to back off!
Coworker #1: Nah… I e-mailed her and told her she should be using this time to relax and recharge, and that we would tackle this stuff once she’s back in the office and refreshed from vacation.
Coworker #2: Wow… That’s the most eloquent ‘Fuck you’ I’ve ever heard!

Bonner Springs, Kansas

CSR: Do you like my dress? The website called it a muumuu, but I call it a dress. I don’t like dresses, but I wanted to wear one today. Did you know I don’t like silk dresses? They make me feel naked, and I don’t like feeling naked except when I’m naked — like when I’m naked in the shower… I ordered this dress from a website I found at work, and I got it in a box a week later. I don’t think it should have been in a box, because the box could have been damaged and then my dress would have been ruined, because boxes don’t protect anything.
Annoyed coworker: Um, you have a stain on your muumuu.
