So get this, we are heading out to lunch lastweek. There are four of us in a car (with my boss), and everyone is talking about where we should go. Someone suggests Italian, so I mention a great little Italian place I frequent that has good food. Everyone says okay and off we go. Well about 3/4 the way there (2 miles up the road) my boss says he knows an Italian place we should go to. Everyone seems indifferent so I ask if its good, and he says "Oh yeah, its really good. But I've never been there." So I say how come you are nixing my suggestion for a place I've been to that IS really good for a place you've never been to? He just laughed and said it is good so lets go there. Well guess what? We get there and it isn't even an Italian restaurant! It is some smokey motel diner that servers nothing but grizzle and grease. He of course says don't worry, it is good and we all go in. The food was awful. Last time we invite the boss to go with us.

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to the INCREDIBLE ASSHOLASAURES REX. This artifactis the boss that has no idea what he's speaking about and couldn't care less what everyone else wants. Hopefully he'll be extinct soon.

This is exactly what I hate the most. A boss who tells me when, what and where to eat. Some B's just can't let go of their power and even micromanage lunches, bathroom breaks and everything else in our lives.

They'll never stop spitting out managers who'll never admit they're wrong in anything...not even lunch.

Possibly the greasy spoon belongs to a friend, relative or is a business interest of your boss. For several years a share-a-ride would insist on driving past a building lot. We saw the apartments being built, a little lake. Well you get the idea. Only later did I realize she was checking on a financial investment.

Sickening! Absolutely sickening. Something similar happened to me several years ago...but at that time, my co-workers and myself were riding in a re-furbished HEARSE (my co-worker was kind of a freak). I am NOT kidding. We all wound up eating at a place that had nothing but hamburgers and beer. I was scared about the quality of the burgers, and then I got to ride back to work in a hearse. Nice.

I've gotten to the point where I intentionally avoid going out to eat with my co-workers. It's neither a healthy working environment nor is it a conducive working relationship among the group, and I'm not inclined to have my personal time ruined by malicious rumors and idle talk. Life is too short - I don't want to be a party to harming others as they do.
