Today's office phrase I would most like to ban for the rest of the century:
"Quick Question"Offense: It is always a lie, and an impudent lie at that, since in its two-word phrasing it defines the shortest possible time spent reasoning and responding. Yet, the questions and the people who utter this forbidden phrase always end up taking forever.
A true quick question would be, "Should I get out of your face?"
YES.Or, "Am I annoying you?"
YES.Labels: Bad Stuff, Job
hey Jimmy, got a second? quick question. no problem.
