Ok, we have all had those moments, whether funny, shocking, or downright anger-inducing, when something happens that makes you just say "What the PHUK?!" Here is the place for you to vent, ponder, or just put out there, the things that have you scratching your head or just barely keeping the riding crop from reaching out and touching someone in a "not nice" way. I'll start... Today, I had several What The Phuk moments. 1. On my way to lunch, it was raining torrents, so I had the wipers on and was looking out the windshield at the puddles in the road, when all of a sudden, the left windshield wiper flew off and into traffic behind me. I was like, "Oh my gosh! What the phuk?" and started laughing wildly as I turned around and went back towards the service station 4 miles away, barely able to see anything. When I got there, I went inside and asked them to replace the wipers. The mechanic came out and said, "Where's the other one, ma'am?" I looked at him and said, "In the highway somewhere." He stared at me like I was lying and said, "ohhh-kayyy." 2. This afternoon, an old employee came by to pick up his Blackberry that he left in the office when he left two weeks ago. One of the ladies had it in a locked desk upstairs, so while he waited, several people gathered around to say hello. They were near my desk, so I got blamed for allowing a "crowd" (4 people) to form. Shortly after the guy left, the President of the company came out to my desk and said, "I want to make this perfectly clear, if any ex-employees come back to this office, they are not to stand out here in the public area and talk. They are to get in, do what is necessary, and get out. I expect nothing less." For fear that I might laugh if I asked him how 4 people were considered a crowd, I simply said, "Okay." It seemed to suit him, so he walked off and that was that. It left me wondering though... "What The Phuk?!" 3. This evening, the VP of Sales and Marketing gave me a hellacious project to do because he wanted to leave early. I couldn't access the area of the computer where I could retrieve the data because it was password protected and he had gone and wouldn't answer his cell phone. I left a message that he never listened to. I got a call 45 minutes before quitting time telling me that I needed to have the whole thing finished before I left for the night. "What The Phuk?!" After telling him that I wasn't worried about his stupid project and that he could do himself, I hung up. Realizing that being bitchy to an idiot wasn't really going to get me anywhere, I went ahead and stayed 30 extra minutes and finished it up. I called him and let him know it was done and he was thrilled. Still doesn't mean he's not an idiot. Grrr... So, what are your recent "What The Phuk?!" moments?
