Preamble: I'm a developer. I used to work for a micromanaging tyrant. In order to keep my sanity, I would post some of his shenanigans to friends. I quit a few years ago, but sometimes still work for him as a contractor.
Shit My Boss Says
Boss: Are the new users being added to the system automatically approved for access?
Me: Are you talking about the users who register themselves? Or the users who are added by an administrator?
Boss: Um… I asked you a question. I didn't ask you to ask me a question. What are you, my wife?
Apparently what he was looking for was the answer “No for users who register themselves. Yes for users who are added by an administrator.” $.deity forbid I ask for clarity.
I need to have “I asked you a question, I didn't ask you to ask me a question” t-shirts printed and sold in a “Shit my Boss Says” store.
