To challenge you all to name a stupider co-worker than mine?

[BossyBitch]

I'm a project manager and have recently had a new person join the team. They need to be given various user accounts and access privileges, and there's a system for requesting all that.

I delegated the task of requesting all the stuff to one of my team supervisors - he might not be the brightest crayon in the box but the whole procedure consists of filling in a web-based form, uploading a passport picture and hitting the 'submit' button. What could possibly go wrong, right?

Imagine my reaction when I got an e-mail requesting that, in my function as the new joiner's manager, I supply a passport picture ...

... as opposed to the phone snapshot of an actual passport that my genius co-worker had sent to them!

And, no, he wasn't taking the piss, he actually is that bloody thick!

Please tell me there's worse out there!

Horrible thread

5tivers bore off? so cutting! Oh yes, your input is hilarious. There’s a few funny things about this thread like looking for bubbles for spirit levels etc but the OP is just nasty , oh but so are you, so birds of a feather...

So report it and get on with your day.
Simples!

There are plenty of other threads here that need your virtuous attention. Better get on it, chop chop!

I did a silly one at work on Friday and probably my name is on some list now as being an idiot.

I work from home, have quite an old laptop, and every time I go into the office I get laptop envy because most people have small laptops and mine is big and heavy.

Anyway, on Friday, I received an email from the IT team saying that they have a rolling programme of laptop renewals and I could click on this list to see if my model was included. I did wonder why they were sending me the email if my model wasn't included, but clicked on it anyway.

And it was a pretend phishing attempt to show us how easy it is to get taken in by emails.

Doh.

Everyone can be an idiot at times.

If someone writes on a whiteboard in permanent pen, just write over that in whiteboard pen and then it will wipe off easily.

Nah, you just get the spray thing, it's like bloody magic!

Person working behind a bar asked for a glass of Rioja, "ummmm we don't have that" "yes you do it's right behind you" bar staff: "you mean this? Reeoja" customer: "yes, Ree-oh-Kah" The bar person was me. In fairness I was only 18 and apparently had never come across Rioja before

Flop our new bargirl once asked for "pee-jo gree-jo", she was new and lovely and very young!

I don't mind people not being able to pronounce names of wine, they are unusual and if you've not come across them before why would you know?

I did mind the bar man with whom I had this exchange:

Me: Chardonnay please
Him: red or white
Me: Chardonnay is white
Him: no, it's either
Me: Oh, OK then, I'll have the red Chardonnay
Him: we don't seem to have it in at the moment....
