If you're dealing with an international work force, there's cultural factors that can come into play. It simply wouldn't occur to folks from some cultures to go to anyone but a boss-unit, often their own boss-unit to talk to your boss-unit.

Hey, don't Aussies have some swear words that are different than "fuck you?" I mean you guys are all "mate" "g'day" "Me mum in lawr looks like an alligator with his bum stopped up"--and even the English use "Bugger" or "Shag".Quote:

Well the one guy is a Canadian, and I know what a wide cultural gap we have between us....Quote:

The last choice is the correct one. And it really makes me angry that the word "faggot" somehow got assigned as a slur against gay people, because it's exactly the correct word to use in this situation. If you got beef, you gotta deal with beef, and sometimes that involves having to take shit from unreasonable crazy people. So fucking what? No one's life is 100% trouble-free. Soldier up and don't be a faggot.
I don't make up facts, Zipper.
I am direct and to the point. I don't fuck around. I ain't no scholar either
And Swami - damn straight. That fucker playing Foo Fighters needs to wake up and realise it's 2009. I'd remind him by playing (insert your favourite music here) full tilt at 3am.
If you live in an apartment building be sure to hand out ear plugs to the other residents or...
Just walk across the hall and kick the fucking door open and turn his stereo down yourself. I'm pretty sure he'd get the message you were sending.

Look, Canada is the only country more effeminate than France, hockey players notwithstanding. In fact, the only non-fags in Canada are all in the NHL.Quote:

You might walk over to his office or cubicle and post pictures of Bugs Bunny and leave carrots all over his office. Post pictures of retainers everywhere. Or, just kick his overbite in.
You have to remember you are dealing with a country that recognizes the British Royalty, mixes in a lot of the French language, sits above the U.S. (and tries like hell to fight off any American influence), and of course, most of the people there have overbites, which reminds them that they once had teeth the British would find disgusting. Their greatest export (after oil) has been siezed by America (the Montreal Canadians are irrelevant)...I mean, these guys have nothing, and have been off the radar since Pierre Trudeau's wife was runing around making John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton look like prudes.
I'd probably suggest leaving him a gay gift like "Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul"--which is chock full of touching stories like why it is important to a man to take his children out and club baby seals to death to show them the frailty of life, or why every Canadian man should take his son out to the local ice pond and drill him in the nads with hockey pucks, and why Americans love to murder anyone who even looks at them sideways (or doesn't) so much, or why Canadians are laughed at by the entire world over the sport of curling.
He'll get the point and either commit suicide or ask the boss to forward all his paychecks to you.
And once again Zip is here to save the day.
Seriously, LMMFAO
Can we get the front page updated any time soon with some more of his stuff?
And can we get another front page for Swami because he's long overdue for the cover?
If they write it and send it to me, it'll be there.
Just pick one of their posts, GD.
