Training courses, seminars and conferencesInspirational or a waste of precious slacking-off time? I once went on a buzzword bingo-laden training course which ended up with my being held at gunpoint in public. Could have gone better, to be honest. Tell us your tales from either side of the lectern

Laughing at the sensitivity courseA big fat irish girl laughing at the word spacker in a room full of people and she still works there. Full on chortle mind you, then just repeating the word over and over while inhaling for breath.

Reminds me of “diversity training” as part if the preamble for starting a job with Arriva TrainsThe bloke made it clear that he couldn't abide any sort of diversity-unfriendly behaviour. He explained that one if his children had some sort of mental deficiency (possibly a spaz or maybe a mong, I forget the details).
Anyway, we then had to come up with as many derogatory words for spackers as we could think of. Wanting to be seen to take part, I volunteered a couple of minor slurs, but held back somewhat.
I think it was the trainer who then told us about one term he'd heard, one that made him utterly incandescent with vicarious spaz-rage. It was, he told us whilst getting visibly irate, “window-licker”.
I'm not sure how I managed to keep a straight face.
