Number 11 rings true. Last summer I had a freak household accident and took a blunt force to my eye. My son drove me to the ER. Here I am suddenly blind in one eye, holding a bloody towel to my eye afraid to look, and I get asked at the desk: "do one of you need to be seen and why?"
I was on a zoom/meets/teams call last week and thought I had muted my microphone. Only when someone replied to my "That's fucking stupid" sotto-voce comment did I realize I was providing live colour commentary, and that my mike wasn't muted...
On one hand, it was fucking stupid because the idea was, actually, fucking stupid, on the other hand, telling a client that they're fucking stupid /can/ be career-ending...
#12 was my wife when she’d throw a party. I literally had to ban parties for a while because it was living Hell for the entire family for weeks before the day. She did finally mellow out a bit.
