What astonishingly stupid stuff have you overheard people saying? Tell us, and tell the world.

I've just remembered my ex-boss. Lots of twattery from him. Here's my faves:
One time the cleaner had left, and while waiting for a new one, for some reason boss decided to do the hoovering (most unusual).
Everyone was working on moleste files over the network, which at the time was one of those old-fangled BNC cable jobbies where everything had to be joined in a loop. Old Jon decides to disconnect the cable to get past it with the hoover. Cue everyone losing whatever work they were on, and all the computers crashing. what a twerp. I can still hear the groans.
Nuther time, despite always producing good output, he decided that I didn't look like I was doing any work because I often slouch while I'm working on a computer ( all this while he played loud computer games whenever he felt like it - distracting everyone from their work). So he made me write down everything I did for the next couple of weeks. Didn't he look stupid when it turned out I was working faster than anyone else in the company. "Ha!" I wanted to say, "shove that up your arse". But I was satisfied with just a small smug grin.
