"everyone is screaming"
I got this at 9am one day. "Everyone was screaming" upstairs because a minor web update had to be made. I pressed the issue with a false panic
"Oh my god, everyone is screaming?! Who's screaming?"
When I asked for names it got sifted down from everyone to people to just the person who was making the call. she had no real power so she invoked an imaginary screaming scenario.

One time I had to put a form element in a page, and the client wanted to know when he could have it by, so he says,
"What's the vector on that widget?"
I blinked a few times, then I shadow kicked him in the throat.

which entails scanning on my 1938 scanner then sending to the printer. such a pain
i need to jack a kinkos apron for such occasions

I don't know why some people feel the urge to tell me how much what I'm working on is worth, like they're doing the company SUCH a HUGE service.
them: that ad you're working on is costing the client $500,000.
me: I don't give a flying peanut butter covered fuck. I won't ever see a fraction of that money.

"F.Y.I."
"Oh, uhn uhn."
"Did you get that memo about the TPS reports?"
"Where did you go? We were looking all over for you."
"So, you're doing that thing you're supposed to be doing? OK then."
"I'll be out of the office, but I'll have my phone with me if anybody needs me."
Me thinking ... "you don't do anything. Who would need to talk to you?"
