Re: Dumb things I've heard at work: The Thread
Just now:
My manager is looking up addresses for banks/accounts/local offices for some other group here.
Manager: "I eventually started looking some of these up online. I looked where the office was strategically located. Now in China we have a ton. So I looked at the providence where it's located and searched for the closest address of that bank."
Hahaha FUCK!!! I tried hard not to crack a smile or chuckle. I almost asked about the office's STRATEGIC location.

Re: Dumb things I've heard at work: The Thread
Another I just remembered.
We have three main region offices: Europe, Asia and Americas, and the staff in those offices contact us whenever people in the local offices need something.
IM convo with my manager a few days ago:
Manager: "Who is Carl's counterpart in Europe?"
Me: "Carl works in Europe... I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean Carla in Americas?"
(I originally assumed he was asking for the name of someone in Asia or Americas with a similar job. So I assumed he mixed up the names Carl and Carla, via typo or whatever.)
Manager: "No I mean Carl. Who is someone who does Carl's job in Europe? Who is his counterpart?"
Me: "....Carl does Carl's job in Europe. Are you saying Carl is his own counterpart?"
Manager: "Yes."
Fuck!!!!
EDIT: Oh yeah, the rest:
After asking more questions to figure out what the fuck he was really after I finally just said,
Me: "Allen, Bob and Denise do similar things Carl do, and are all in Europe."
Manager: "Ok, thanks!"
It turns out he was asking for the name of one of Carl's teammates. FUUCKKK. "Counterpart" ...Jesus fuck

Re: Dumb things I've heard at work: The Thread
Another story with a different coworker:
We went to the mall foodcourt for lunch. I got my food and met her back at a table where she had what looked like chicken fingers (deep fried) in a transparent/golden sauce, almost honey colored
Me: "Oh so you got chicken fingers?"
Her: "No, it's sauteed chicken."
Ne: "But those are clearly chicken fingers."
Her: "Well the guy called it sauteed chicken."
Me: "Well, sure they could have sauted them after they deep fried them."
Her: "Oh Dan, you're so funny"
Me: kjcxndsfewoiuewoijdsoijf

Re: Dumb things I've heard at work: The Thread
"You know, shit and sin are a lot alike. When you a baby (and I still remember this), you shit yourself. But you sort of enjoy it- it's all warm and squishy. Comfortable. You think, 'this is kinda nice!' But then it starts to get itchy and uncomfortable after a while, and you think, 'hey, I don't like this'. So you cry. And it smells; people around you can smell it. Just like sin, it's noticeable to those around you. People can smell sin. But then Christ comes, he washes the sin away. Makes you feel clean, comfortable."

Ever since starting this job, I've read/heard some absolute whoppers, particularly for pro se motions (where someone represents themselves).
For instance, one person being charged with making threats to a gubmint officer claimsthat the gubmint is infecting catholics with viruses, specifically catholics because they are more likely to believe in the devil infecting them. For authority, she cites the MOVIE Devil's Advocate.
