I trapped the Boss
I used to work for a company that sold super duper photocopiers and software to fill in forms. I was hired (head hunted actually) as a "Marketing Analyst" which basically had to study potential punter companies and come up with ideas of how to sell said photocopiers and software. I was ensured they needed every single added value product. It was a time when marketing "games" were in - so I devised this snakes and ladders type game where no matter how you played it you always ended up wanting a photocopier and/or software. My immediate boss, a hyped up woman who drove a Merc who was having an affair with someone in the Technical Dept cos her husband couldn't get it up apparently, and a ruthless yes woman, actually liked the idea but the MD didn't. Instead, 2 weeks later, the MD came up with exactly the same idea I had devised but called it something else. I was not a happy person and told hyped-up woman I wasn't having any of it but she insisted the MD was right and his idea was better.

So not giving a shit about the job anyway I went straight to the MD. I said : "We need to talk". He said " no we don't. you need to get out there and burn the midnight oil to come up with some good ideas" at which point I told him to fuck his photocopiers where the moon didn't shine or something similar and walked out.

The company went bust 6 months later and I saw hyped up woman at computer consulting company in a Ford Ka. Cathy, if you are out there, you are a horrible, unattracitve sad bastard who will never get a decent shag in your life.

What goes around comes around :-)
