My boss is a COMPLETE idiot. She doesn't know how to work any Microsoft Office programs, so I'm constantly showing her how to...wait for it...save files!
Oh this is a HUGE issue here too.
"Kelly, I can't find my inbox!"
"How do you do that thing where i send someone a email and i want to send it to someone else but i dont want the first person i want to send it to know that i sent it to the second secret person" (Yes, he really said it this way).
"can you take a picture of this for me?" (He means make a copy)
"Something is wrong with my machine!!!" (He means his comptuer)
Its always super cool when he throws temper tantrums, too. He pounds the keyboard, has broken his mouse on 2 occassions, slams the desk and his feet on the wall, starts MFing everything, etc. I used to run over to help him back when I was "new", but now I ignore him. A few months back after a particularily bad display of his, he apologized to me the next day, saying "if i ever get like that, tell me to take a deep breathe and calm down". I stared at him blankly and just said "Nah. I'd rather just ignore you"
He started laughing, "Well THAT doesn't help me at all!!"
To which I responded "Frankly, thats not my job. Im not your mother and I don't have to calm you down from your tantrums".
I have noticed him keeping the ridiculousness under wraps a lot more since that conversation
Makes much more sense...

I love this thread! I'm at home with the little one at the moment but I can list a few about my previous boss:
1. Cracks on to the women customers.
2. Talks with a really noticable lisp and says "Thexy' instead of 'sexy'.
3. Won't fix the air-con even though it gets upwards of 50 degrees celcius in there.
4. Uses an employee's address for his love letters to get sent to from a woman who IS NOT HIS WIFE!
5. Expects my husband to drop what he's doing and fix electrical things in the place.
Great thread Kel!
