Nice. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I also like today's story about flight attendant Steve Slater:


While a flight from Pittsburgh to New York was taxiing on the runway around noon yesterday, as is the custom on planes everywhere, a passenger jumped up to get her belongings from the overhead before the captain had turned off the seat belt sign. Slater asked her to sit down. The passenger refused, and her luggage hit Slater in the head. And when Slater's demand for an apology was allegedly met with a "Feck you," he didn't respond with a tight-slipped smile and a "Buh bye."

Instead, he got on the plane's public address system, and as the plane pulled up to the gate, said something to the effect of, "To the fecking ashole that told me to feck off, it’s been a good 28 years!" He then grabbed some beer off the beverage cart, activated the inflatable evacuation slide, slid off the plane, ran to the parking lot and drove home. When officials caught up with him to arrest him for his shenanigans, he was allegedly having sex with his "partner."

Now, that's how to leave a job.

lol what was awesome! That spencer guy sounds like a superficial idiot...that girl was actually pretty cute :p

More like a superficial, MICROMANAGING idiot. The employees obviously know how to do their job, but they don't need to be monitored on it at his whim. I worked at a place like that, and it felt like spying on me and not trusting the work that I do. So yes, I think this Spencer guy did deserve it.

And I also agree.. she's hot. Looks and brains. Hot.

BL.

I thought the girl was attractive, and that guy sounds like your typical office "big shot."

I don't think that was a uncalled for way of quitting, and it was very entertaining. I bet that Spencer feels like a real idiot.

Good stuff, funny but not a really good idea if you're looking for references.

Hahaha! That's fantastic! What a way to quit. I'm confused about the HOPA/HPOA though... I think she got that wrong.

Actually I think she was saying that Spencer got the acronym wrong and she worked it out.

Can someone post the actual thing please? unless NSFW of course. :eek:
Here's a text version, but you simply MUST see the pictures to get the full effect.

Rather attractive young woman with smart, fashionable eyewear holds up a Dry Erase board; each picture holds one in a series of sentences. Her facial expression in each picture more or less matches the sentiment of the words depicted.

Happy Monday Everybody!

I QUIT

I've learned a lot these past 2 years

And I'm going to miss all of you

Except one

I'm looking @ you Spencer

Being your assistant's been a special hell (decorated with red flames)

I put up with your temper

and your bad breath

Because I wanted to be a broker

On Friday I transferred you a call

I was about to hang up

When I heard you call me a HOPA

HOPA??

(shakes Dry Erase board to rearrange H O P A letters)

H(ot) P(iece) O(f) A(s*)

Is that really all you thought of me?

Did you ever wonder...

Why everybody in the office called the trash...

A garbage diSpencer?

Office morale is down since you installed the "little office snitch"...

so you could monitor how we spend our time online

So I wondered

(in thought balloon) How does Spencer spend his time online?

You gave me the codes after all

4 hrs/week Scottrade

5.3 hrs/week TechCrunch

and Drumroll...

19.7 hrs/week playing FARMVILLE

WOW

So this HPOA's moving on

Although I don't have another job

Something tells me I'll be just fine :)

In other words, the boss just got pwned.

Follow-up on the story is required!

She's hot and when I learnt about Spencer's internet habits, I kind of expected Macrumors or some gadget blogs to appear.

But it's mostly Farmville. I suppose, once you go farmville, you never look back. :)

Very cool story--and she is certainly a cutie--especially when she accentuates the point by changing out of her office attire. I'm sure she'll get a new job soon. :cool:

How about this one?

“To the passenger who called me a mother*****r, ******* you."



EDIT: honestly, I just saw your comment 'That's how to leave a job' and I immediately thought of the flight attendant story. :) I just found out that you beat me to it.

In the first picture, one eye is bigger than the other. That's not hot at all. :eek: People with asymmetrical faces tend to be neurotic and prone to mood swings, so her little stunt at "female empowerment" is idiotic at best.

I think she would do well as a porn actress in her next job.

I think that was just part of the facial expression in that first pic. Besides, prescription eyeglasses tend to distort the size of objects behind them (think Milton in "Office Space" for an extreme case of this).

As for your suggestion of her next profession... well, you'd be a connoisseur of that, huh? :p

And in the 3rd picture, her other eye is bigger than the 1st... it's called facial expressions. If the only thing you can critique is her eye sizes, lets see a picture of you since you must be the shining beacon of beauty. I would be willing to bet she's more attractive than anyone you could end up with, so your little stunt at "criticizing others while cowering behind a veil of internet anonymity" is idiotic at best. :rolleyes:

Pretty funny. She got that rat bastard good. I love a good quiting story, especially with pictures.

The girl's got a bit of a huge forehead - but other than that... she's a Hot Piece of Ass. ;)
