accidentally responding to your boss the same way you respond to your dom(me) is the evil version of calling the teacher mom

Took me a while to realize that subbing and topping were not work-related words.

Apparently I live a boring life.

Reminds me of HK-47

Im stealing this.

Its taken me years to get my offices to actually communicate better. Using the NATO alphabet requires posters (which were left at a past job) and I still get weird looks when I insist on using ISO-8601 (fuck you deborah, this will sort correctly in excel).

So many people I've worked with say things, then don't remember saying them, or at least don't remember any of the details of what they said. I've started introducing errors when I repeat their words back to them because it seems to help their memory - they want to correct me and it reminds them of what they said.

I am frustrated with my current manager because he seems to have wholesale forgotten things he said. I haven't yet come up with a good way of responding to "why did you make this decision?" other than "because you said so?"

I feel like this is up there with how parliamentarians interject: “Point of Order☝️” I can def see that in a BDSM scenario. Point of order madam chairwoman, the instruction is to make no sound. Is that intended vocal-based sound or is this an FPS stealth scenario on Expert difficulty?

"Clarity, your honor: [...]"

That's a good safe word. Might give it a spin.

"Just to clarify" is a pretty common thing to say in a work context, this is just shorthand for that.
