Now if I had received that reply I would chuckle to myself but also wonder if you were ok.
I knew it was time to leave my workplace when I was exiting the rest room and a manager made a sarcastic remark about the length of my break ( normal ) and I put two fingers up and walked off.
I confessed to my line manager what I’d done and his reply was
don't worry, it’s easier to get rid of a verruca than a member of staff in this place.
Which was true.
