My pet peeve is schedulers who answer crucial questions (like conflicting instructions) with non-sequiteurs. If I answered their questions in the same way, it might go something like this...
Q: Ok, so what time did you get in line?
A: Yes, there was a clock on the wall.
Q: Ok, but what time did it read?
A: The line timings were long due to a cheerleading squad entering just before me.
Q: Let me try again. Did you note the time when you entered the line, and if so what was that time?
A: Yes
Q:And the time?
A: 15 minutes?
Q: No, the time on the clock
A: Yes, it was
Of course, if we did that, we would get a rejected report and no pay. It fun to contemplate, though.
