In office sometimes our work life influence how we speak even for personal questions ,so much that last week one of my managers’ asked a pregnant colleague when the deployment date was for her baby and whether all milestones have been passed.
She replied back saying a visit to the doctor confirmed that the product was free of bugs and would be deployed as scheduled and probably ahead of schedule. That was when the configuration manager wanted to know more about the configuration of the delivery and she replied it was Boy.
It also often happens when we don’t get things done our way we resort to shakedown testing of errant colleagues. One person was even ignominiously asked to go get a patch!! The person changed for good and is a completely different version now.
Well this is probably not restricted to just one industry as I hear from colleagues working elsewhere like:-
In the Hospital, furious anesthetist 1 to anesthetist 2
“What kind of a person are you...How could you be so numb? “
Overheard at the psychiatrist’s conference
“You say another word and I ll split your personality!!”
Dentist’s over a brawl
“I ll fight tooth and nail to get it from you…Mister!!”
Between Politicians
“WHAT…WHAT did you call ME? A common Man!!”
Overheard in NASA.
“And who do you think you are…Mister Asstronaut!!!”
Pilots trying to be civil
Take off!!
Teachers

God’s not in a good mood.
To hell with you!!
Desi Electrician’s first day in USA

Plumber to another Plumber
“And you beating me…eh. Talk of pipe dreams!!”
Upset plastic surgeon
“No point saving face here...I ll come after you anyways.”

Weather man’s curse

Municipal worker to Boss
Rubbish. Rubbish…This is all what you talk! Uh!!
It seems we need to split our work life and personal life.
And I realized it even more when my colleague told me she delivered a baby boy and exceeded customer satisfaction of his Dad and Mom...Duh!

Litigation lawyers go around asking-
"...where is mr mehta's brief...tell the junior to bring my briefs to the court, i will study them there" (see we talk a lot in brief/boxers shorts)
Interesting revelation(s). Bugs me that we use most of these in our conversations, don't we? I guess professional talk would gradually merge into our lives, thanks to media. :)
The first two paras were mind-blowingly-awesome!! :D
LOL!!
Am sure that your release is behind schedule now..:D
It is every where...and my friend's mother is looking for new fimware versions to suit his architecture...

One of my colleagues used to say "I have got to go early today, or I wont meet my wife's SLA"

Good compilation dude...lol..
I liked the pilot's one...TAKE OFF!
And IT guys say " we'll make weekend plans at run time!!"
Awesome. I'd heard about some of these in joke circles. Loved the first two one's. Tell the configuration manager that he can be jailed if he asks that question to many ladies :)

LOL...especially desi electrician's cultural shock :))
This reminds me of those forwards we used to get....where the HR manager writes a love letter and using terms like "you will be on probation for 1 year and then based on ur performance and a proposal will be drafted....." Who knows....someone might be already forwarding ur piece :)
