Work e-mail

All,

In the interest of ensuring a safe work environment for all and preventing the possibility of injury to a co-worker, please refrain from throwing any objects in the call center. Employees engaged in "playing catch" with nerf balls or throwing any other items that potentially could jeopardize the safety of another employee is prohibited and will lead to coaching/counseling.

As always, your cooperation in complying with this request is appreciated.



Who the fuck would be jeopardized by a fucking nerf ball? And most of the throwing that is done is of wadded up paper balls, and we always pick them up so it's not a hardship on the janitors. Anal retentive humourless anti fun cockdouches.

I think what happened is that one weird girl got made fun of, and she retaliated by turning you all in. KICK HER ASS.

The part that amuses me most is "playing catch"

What the fuck? Why is that quoted?

But the email doesn't say anything about it being unprofessional or causing problems with calls... all it talks of is employee safety. Who the hell is going to be hurt by a nerf ball or paper wad that doesn't deserve to be hurt?

This makes me think of the NFL Commercial, where the grocery check out person yells I'm open, and the guy beams him in the head with a pineapple.

nerf balls are pretty solid, if you didnt see it stepped on one and tripped you might smash your face on the floor pretty hard

*sigh* there's always gotta be one jerk ruining it for everyone else. When I worked for Stream in Beaverton, we used to have awesome nerf battles... until one dumbass went and pegged a manager in the back of the head with a rocket launcher. This is a vital no-no. Consequently, all nerf items were banned from the center.
