    And the "Hitler-loving" incident was just ridiculous.
    No, I don't believe she was trying to belittle me. I believe she's too stupid to realize that what she's saying could come across as offensive. To be clear, here, I believe she's stupid because it is my job to check her work for errors. And let me tell you, she's absolutely awful at what she does.

      Yes. I thought it was an amusing way to refer to the scenario. Clearly, she's not actually an anti-Semite.

        Cartoons and Muslims have taught me that the proper response to any perceived slight is to bomb the building where the offensive material originated (give or take). Luckily, you already have an "in" as you have wormed your way into the organization... in fact it's rather suspicious how that worked out. This stinks of a black flag op... you should really be ashamed of yourself for trying to make Muslims look bad like that

        ... I hope they bomb you for it

          Another example of her utterly empty-headed tactlessness. My boss is fat. The other day, Lyndon walked into the boss' office, looked at a picture of the boss from when she was presumably skinnier, and said, "See, if you lost weight, you could be really pretty."

            So you're taking offense at that because you think your boss wouldn't be pretty even if she loses weight? And your co-worker is the "tactless" one... yah... :rollseyes:

              The least you could do is say "my boss is a little big-boned" or "looks like an American" rather than just flat out saying they're fat.

                  The word is 'rubenesque'. Then you play some Queen:
