Got this idea from the loathing your boss thread… My boss has an office and she faces towards the front. Whenever I knock on the door (usually already open) she’ll continue doing whatever it is she is doing for about 3 seconds before turning her head to acknowledge someone is there. I understand legitimate reasons for not looking immediately, but sometimes she is clicking around probably doing nothing…and it happens every time. I think she might count to 3 before looking up.

You’re BOTH fired, now back to work!
I like my boss, however, she cannot clearly explain what she wants all the time. She also gives me something, then 5 seconds later gives me something else, then 5 seconds later… you get the idea. Other than that, she’s awesome. Can’t complain, gave me 100 bucks for drinking money on my bday.
all women bosses eh
He emails me a whole paragraph when he’s 2 feet from me
My boss also CC’s herself on emails.

He comes to the meeting late (99% time).

Hahaha I’ve received a few of those.
are you kidding me. what about mine. will schedule a one hour meeting 11:00 - 12:00 then at 1:30 when it’s still going strong, will pop out and grab a snack so he can keep going. i’ve learned to never accept a meeting before lunch as there’s a large risk of running through lunch. same goes for meeting after 3 pm, can go to 7 sometimes even if originally scheduled for 1 hour. however i do like him despite this, just have to be prepared.
my boss has ADD. conversations with him last either less than a minute, or over 3 hours because he gets distracted by thousands of things, from a person passing by, to a cell phone ring, to an email pop up, to a random flyer in the office. he begins conversations with people passing by his office while he is in a middle of a conversation (or two). he takes the whole networking in the office concept to some extremes. he sometimes puts conference calls on mute and starts talking about random stuff to other people, he’s been know to step out of his office too. when he picks up a long akward pause, he unmutes the call, enters the conversation boldly again, and talks for an hour easily. most amazing.

If she takes a full three seconds before looking up, you have the right to punch her in the face.

They should make a sitcom out of that character.
my boss used to ask me to “run the numbers on that” quite frequently. i know that she has no idea what she wants (or what she’s talking about), so i started ask for what she specifically wants. since then, we no longer speak to each other. life is good
Most annoying thing my boss does…wears tight fitting shirts and skirts. How the hell am I supposed to concentrate on what you are asking me to do, when I really just want to see you naked.
well you never know unless you ask right just like in pornos…you do know that everything you see in pornos is true right

Though could be a tard/ I once had a boss who asked for a presentation on something. No insight into what it should contain. After several hours of putting one together, she said, ‘This is exactly NOT what I wanted’ in the most condascending manner possible. I was like wtf!? and asked for a meeting immediately. Convo went something like this: “You asked me for a pres, I asked you what you wanted in it and you didn’t give me any direction. Now I have done it, you tell me it is ‘exactly NOT what you want’.” Not sure how it ended but I certainly didn’t further my career during those 10 minutes. I was still quite restrained all things considered. What I should have said of course is this: “Look, given that you are the human equivalent of a baby hippo with the personality of a doorknob, there is an imperceptibly small chance of you ever mating and prolonging your indeterminate gene pool . If you ever speak to me again, I will ensure that infinitessimaly small possibility is wiped out for good. Now go and shave that moustache off.”
