Him: Boss is mad. Won’t talk to me. Bumper was wrong but we already painted it.

Me: Yes the advisor let me know already. I’ll reorder it and the bracket and trim also.

Him: I guess I didn’t “mirror match it” like I was “supposed to.” But I did test fit it and it was fine??

Me: Okay. Test fitting is good. But mirror matching helps…

Him: Well, we gotta reorder it.

Me: YES. The advisor already let me know. I will reorder it and the bracket and trim.

Later as I’m walking through the shop

His coworker: Hey are we able to return the wrong bumper? Or do we just toss it?

Me: Unfortunately no we cannot return it.

Coworker: Damn, we’re going to lose that money…

Later, the advisor comes in to my office

Advisor: He let that bumper sit around for DAYS before it was painted but he hadn’t even checked to make sure it’s the right one…

Me: I am not a technician, but are they not supposed to make sure parts are correct before painting them? I can help check certain parts, but that’s going to take a lot of time from me.

Advisor: No that would be unrealistic for you. They need to check their own parts.

Later, he and coworker come by my office

Him: Bumper is out here so you can return it. Here’s the rest.

Me: I can’t return it.

Him: Couldn’t hurt to try.

Me: Ok sure…

Coworker: Please reorder the bumper, the bracket, and trim. Thank you. Do you have anywhere I can bang my head really hard?

Me: lmao yes I will reorder everything.

Him: You can try sending the bumper back! Even if they won’t take it, we’re not losing money.

Coworker losing his shit over this problem he didn’t cause but has to deal with: HOW TF YOU THINK WE’RE NOT LOSING MONEY?? WE HAVE TO ORDER ANOTHER WHOLE OEM BUMPER COVER ANNNNNND PAINT IT!! WASTING OUR TIME, THE PAINTERS’ TIME, THE CUSTOMER’S TIME, HER [my] TIME. HUNDREDS!!! HUNDREDS OF DOLLA- yknow what. I’m going to walk away.

Him: *Changes the subject while I continue working. I walk past him a few minutes later and he’s just sitting there doing nothing. Literally just sitting in a chair.*

Found coworker later and said quietly, “He is driving me NUTS. 😵‍💫” He sighed and said, “You have no freaking clue. 🫩”

Boss walked past the bumper that I now cannot return and asked, “Wait, is this from the BMW? Oh my gosh…” Likeeee did boss not know the is whole time???

We were looking at photos of the car we are repairing.

Him: Those photos right there are for a different vehicle.

Me: Those are the photos I took of the bumper cover we got that was wrong

Him: For THIS car?

Me: Yes THIS car, that’s why I put the photos in THIS file.

Him: But that’s the wrong bumper!

Me: I know. That’s why I took photos of it for documentation and told you earlier today that we got sent the wrong one.

Him: But that one is orange!

Me: Yes! It was wrong! It should have been chrome! Thats why I took photos and then reordered a correct one from somewhere else!

Yesterday

Me: Those clips you need are discontinued. Can you make it work with some other clips?

Him: Ugh idk I kinda need those specific ones. The ones I had broke. That’s why we need to order some more.

Me: I understand they broke and that’s why we need more. But they don’t make these anymore.

Him: But I need them??

Me: I’ll see if I can get them out of state but it’s going to be hard to track down and expensive to ship.

Him: Okay yeah bc I need them!!

Today, 7:59am

Him, leaning over my desk, looking around dramatically: hmm…

Me: Um hello? Good morning? What are you looking for?

Him: My clips!

Me: Remember, they’re discontinued. I have a list of places that may have some…

Him: OH NO. Don’t get them out of state! They’ll be hard to find and expensive to ship. I’ll make it work with what I’ve got. I’m Mr. MacGyver. MacGyver! You know? Haha. Thanks!

My printer malfunctioned.

Him: It’s out of paper

Me: IT IS FULL OF PAPER

Don’t tell me my printer is out of paper when you literally don’t even know, wtf

Him: We missed you yesterday! I assumed you were at the doctor.

Me, working on everything I’m behind on since I’ve been gone: I wasn’t at the doctor. I was home with a migraine.

Him: Oh those are bad. You have to sit with the lights off and nobody can talk to you.

Me, in my bright office, listening to him talk to me: …yeah.

Him: Well you’ll probably have another one in 6 months. That’s about how long it takes for me to get another migraine.

Me: ??? Ok. (I used to get them every three weeks, why does is he assuming he knows how my body works?)

Him: Our coworker made a steak for you. You missed shop lunch yesterday. And this driver came by and needed a signature, and passed 3 other people who ignored him, so I took it upon myself to sign the paper. Even though I was under a car. I signed the paper from under the car! Someone’s gotta do it. And these goofballs don’t have the sense to just sign.

Me: Thanks. Did you need help with something?

Him: nope!

#6-25-26 #I just had a headache leave me alone #why would you assume how my migraines work?

affirmations they will not kill me at work today. it is not in my job description to get killed. if they did kill me at work that would be weird and probably not worth it for them

Me all day not eating the breakfast my coworker left on my desk while I wasn’t looking, worried he messed with it. ???

He came back later and was like, “did ya find the biscuit?” The one right in front of me, like, what, I’m supposed to say “no where is it???”

When he does this I say thank you and slip it into the trash. I’m not taking food from strange creepy men I don’t trust. Especially when he brings it from his own house. I don’t care if his wife made it. Even my boss won’t eat his food.

Stop bringing me unsolicited food to gain my favor because you know everyone else doesn’t like you and you need to be on my good side.

Him: Do I have any cores to return for this vehicle?

Me: *checks Core Board* Nope!

Him: *Follows me into my office and stands in the doorway so I can’t leave* But is there a core I have to return?

Me: Nope! :)

Him: *explains that if there’s a core on it, he will need to return it, so he wanted to check before he tosses it out*

Me: NOPE THERE IS NO CORE! THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING! :) :) :)

#3-30-26 #I already answered

Him: Don’t get too close I may be contagious. I have a fever and upset stomach and my nose won’t quit dripping. Ah look at that! There it goes again! *snot literally drips onto the floor from his face*

Me: Ok yes I would like some distance. I don’t have a face mask in my office right now.

Him: Yeah me neither *stands in the doorway speaking/breathing into my office which has no ventilation* Boss told me not to come in but I wanted to show good work ethic so I came in anyway. He’ll send me home in a bit I’m sure.

Me: Yeah you really should go home!! :) :)

Him: *continues talking about how bad he feels*

#3-30-26 #lack of awareness

In my office, frantically juggling 3 files

Him: *coworker in his 60s walks in with a flashlight on his head, explains why he needs me to order more things and return the ones that we don’t need*

Me: Okay I hear you. *writes note of what he needs* I will order this when I wrap up these 3 files.

Him: We need it NOW

Me: We need to follow protocol when ordering bc I keep getting shown how low our numbers are and doing it properly so we don’t get in trouble won’t take much longer. You already told our coworker to start the process…

Him: She says she has to wrap up with a customer first…

Me: Ok!?

Him: Can’t you just like, order it now?

Me: I will but she has to do her part first, and it looks like we both are taking care of other files right now…

Him: Are you playing music on that tiny Spiderman speaker?

Me: YES

Him: I can hook the office Roku up to the secret wifi. I just have to find the Roku.

Me: I think that’s it attached to the tv!

Him: No no that’s the device it ports through

Me: *gets up out of my chair and points at device* You mean this device that says, “Roku” on it?

Him: No that’s what it PORTS through.

Me: Hm okay. It just looks exactly like the one I have at home. And the one my parents have.

Him: No I’m pretty sure that’s just what it plugs into. *examines all the cords behind the tv*

Him: Oh! THIS is the Roku! *The device I originally pointed at*

Me: yay okay ??

Him: Hm it’s not coming on

Me: *fighting the urge but I have to say it* Um, is it plugged in (I know for a fact it’s not)

Him: Huh! It wasn’t plugged in!

Me: idk what secret wifi you’re talking about, there are 2 I know of and the company monitors all wifi activity…

Him: Hm, I can’t find the secret wifi. Guess the Roku won’t work after all

My brain: I could have told you this from the beginning, as I’m the person who runs the front office and has been talking with IT about our internet and tv issues for the past 6 months and have plugged/unplugged every cord on that tv myself more than once…

#9/13/24 #i was right

Him: Hey, I need you to implement this new thing this company is asking of us. This will help our scores, not to mention help us in production. So if you can start doing this that would help my score.

Me: That is a typical part of the check-in process and I do that with every customer every day. So yeah no problem. Lol

Him: Well I didn’t know because I don’t check that tab. I just need it on that tab okay. I’ve never checked it but if you can make sure it’s there that’s what we need.

Me: Yeah as I said it’s been in every one of your files. Every single file. For many months. It is beneficial in many ways for me to do this which I why I’m sure you hear me ask the customers right away for this information.

Him: Okay well I just need that info okay?

My brain: YoU dOnt cHeCk thAT tAb???
