@Smooheed not even if you’ve read the caller ID?

@princesaballena 😂😂😂

Maybe that contributes to my way of answering 😂😂

@Smooheed on Teams today, got:

Product Owner: Should I open a ticket for this? We need to know about the ACLs for our stuff.

Me: How else would you obtain this information?

PO: I don’t know.

Me: Yes, it’s a ticket.

@Smooheed "What fresh hell is this?" is probably not in the decision tree of responses either?

@skepticsbookoflists @Smooheed No, but muttering almost, but not quite, under your breath "Jeeeesus Christ" is A-OK.

@Smooheed Hah! I had one years ago where boss asked me very nicely if in meetings I could try saying something like "sadly that seems not to be the case" instead of "you're talking shite" 🙂
Show threadSmooheedFeb 10, 2023
@bytebro see, you’re talking shite is my preferred option - clear and concise 🤣
Show threadEricFeb 26, 2023

@bytebro @Smooheed I was in a Teams chat where I answered “No” to a question and they said “Is that your only response?” I said, “No, I have three:

No,

Fuck no, and

LOL fuck no.”

@Smooheed Sounds reasonable. The correct phrase is "for fuck's sake". Remedial diction classes will be resuming next month.
