Dogs off leash.

Dogs off leash.

Ohio law allows for dogs under reasonable control to be off leash. Cincinnati Municipal Code requires a leash.

I have been advocating for a frisbee dog exception to both laws.

Speaking as someone who sometimes lets my own dog off leash, though, I get it. A lot of times, those dogs off leash are a pain.

When your boss decides to do a task for you (that your normally do yourself easily) in order to be "helpful," but messes up in the process, leaving you to try to figure out how to fix things.

That's right! That part is actually the worse, because heaven forbid a boss actually acknowledge an objective screwup. "No, that can't be true! It must be this." No, no, it isn't.

Now that I'm thinking about a specific boss I use to have:

Bosses and co-workers who receive emails relevant to you, but instead of simply forwarding the email with a note, they print it up and hand the message to you. Um...

Whenever I'm watching a tv show or movie and a couple wakes up in bed in the morning, rolls over and start making out passionately...and talking closely in each other's faces. The very thought of that is some repugnant shit.

When I first was handed a printed copy of an email, I was so dumbfounded at the stupidity of it that I accidentally spoke my mind a little, politely calling it "a little archaic." Even this moderated criticism got my supervisor pushed my supervisor to such an unprofessional level of snappiness. She was an idiot in general, the type of idiot who wasn't aware of her own shortcomings and couldn't handle any feedback that wasn't straight praise.
