Mine was a remote worker couldn't get in touch with a colleague by phone as the colleagues phone was still on the call that they'd shared moments earlier but that she had got cut off from. I listened patiently for her to explain this and then she asked me what she should do. Short of me being able to magically connect their call again, I advised emailing said colleague so they could explore other forms of contact. This isn't an I experienced colleague, but there are a lot of these 'WTF' moments.

My boss, who has been promoted beyond his ability, refusing to go to a meeting with important stakeholders and other senior managers. No reason, no diary conflict - he just hasn’t a clue and knew he would get caught out.

I'd spent a large chunk of a lesson going over Pythagoras' theorem.

I'd shown them a drawing of the clever fellow and we talked about how amazing it was that he'd worked out this special relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. We'd done multiple worked examples and practiced on mini white boards. I thought I'd done a good job.
Then a student said to me:
"What's that?" when I told her to use it to answer a question.
I'm not as good as I thought I was apparently

My manager: "I think that it is your anxiety that is interpreting everything negatively".

No, it is you and your favourite employee that bullies and snitches on everybody else that are the "well-being problems" here, and you are enabling them yet again, you idiot!

My low-level anxiety was fine until this meeting was called...
