This morning we had a 10 AM meeting. My micromanaging boss from hell stops by my desk to "escort" me to the meeting. I was wrapping some things up and didn't want to walk with him anyway so I said "no, go ahead, I'll be right there." and he gave me some lam-o excuse about how it looks better if we walk in as a team, blah blah blah. To further try to get out of any more time spent with him than absolutely necessary I said, "Well, I have to stop at the restroom anyway so go ahead". And he just looks at me in the eyes and says "That's ok". So I think "CRAP!" and RELUCTANLTY told him "ok just a minute".
So I finish my stuff and we walk to the bathroom. I thought he would wait outside or something...but NOOOOO. The idiot comes in with me and stands by the sinks talking! Totally ruined my ability to go! So now, I'm standing there with "stage fright" unable to drop the kids off while he's yakking for fear of the sound the kids will make if you know what I mean. And now, I'm forcing myself to go, talking myself into it because...you know...I can't have it look like I was lying about having to go. SO holy nightmares of all holy nightmares the dude continues yakking my ear off now by saying "What's the matter in there? Come on, we're gonna be late!". He was freaking listening for the uh..."drop off" so to speak! (did I mention I hate this man?)
Finally I gave up and walked out with my head down and spent the next 5 minutes walking to the meeting with him (not very subtly) giving me tips on how to ease constipation. I kid you not! And for any of you who have read my other stories about this guy, it is the same one who had the love fest with the Taco Bell burrito. I gotta get a new job. This one is killing me! I can't even number 2 in peace!
Thought you JobSchmobbers would enjoy this one. You were the frist people I thought of. And what's that saying? HA!

Can you believe the nerve of some managers?? Makes you want to tie them to their desk and force feed them exlax.

Loved the micromanaging in the john story. Made me laugh out loud. Humor is one effective weapon against horrible bosses. Thank you.

Many Many years ago I was sitting in a john which did not have a locked door when an older co-worker actually came up, opened the door and started a conversation. I just sat there...open mouthed while he talked and finally just said "Have you lost your mind? This is NOT my desk!" He chuckled something about being uptight and left. Later he was let go early because it was believed he was slipping into dementia...

This man is ill. I really wish you could have gone, and stunk the place up!

I had a boss that did something similar, showing up at my cubicle 10 minutes before a meeting. I walked with him and quickly darted into THE LADIES ROOM while he was in mid-sentence! He can't follow me there! He never came and fetched me again. Membership has it's priveleges!
