Best Belgian name ever: Taco B. M. Monster.
That sounds like something from Captain Underpants.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Right?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude, seriously? Does he think nobody ever forwards email?
I'm voting for him to get overheard, because he's never said that guy's name without an audible sneer. Our cube walls are not soundproof...
My sister tossed me under the bus with a friend of her friend and gave her my email address to play Words With Friends. I wasn't sure how to back out of it, and I'm on game #2, playing at my standard slowest pace ever, but now she's started sending mass emails about stuff I don't agree with (polyamory, not that WTF) and she hides the recipient list. I realise I would rather do a "polyamory doesn't surprise me" email to a whole bunch of people I don't know than a one on one. But I replied to just her, and she's sent me two more bcced reactions to other stuff I'm not even looking at--I don't mind overlapping into my sister's social circle--we've been doing this since prep school, but I don't want the friends of her friends she doesn't even want to talk to.
I should just go tits up and lose my lead in WWF and play a bunch of stupid stuff and maybe that'll be passive aggressive enough...

My cousin's SO has a new German boss named "Dirk Vader". (Not nearly as funny outloud, where it's more like "Deeerk Fadehr", but still.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does Dirk Vader run a holistic dark side detective agency?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
HMOG, some guy came in our office asking the office manager to help him find the unspecified grandmother of a friend who allegedly lives in the neighborhood. Couldn't give a name, address, or phone number of this person, said he was from a new appliance sales business that doesn't have a number yet, and referenced a church that's "going to be built in the area." Then was all religious-y in his farewell.
Dude might as well have "Con man trolling gullible seniors for donations" tattooed on his forehead!

Ugh. This is so frustrating. My manager shot off a reply to an email she didn't read properly, and is now pulling me over the coals because she didn't understand the request, and therefore gave an answer that made no sense.
Okay, I will organise the completely pointless meeting, but all the information you say I need to provide is all there in the original email, which you refuse to re-read. There's only so much responsibility I can take for you not seeing the words "QA" and "no data" if your issue is about granting people access to production data. I SAID I DIDN'T WANT THAT.
This is why I have to mark myself down on communication on the self evaluations....

I just sent a reminder to one of my project managers of a deadline he is holding up. His response? "Tonight. I'm ugly right now". WTF?

Can I use that, Suzi? It sounds like a guaranteed discussion-killer.

It definitely kept me from responding to him. But if he hasn't done his stuff by tomorrow morning, I think I'll send him an e-mail asking if he is still ugly or not.
