Ass Hat: I'm taking off; I've got some stuff to do...
Me: I'm on the phone. And why the hell would I care where you are going?
Ass Hat: Yeah, I'm going to take the new car. I have a lot of stuff I need to bring along with me (attempts to hold up a giant box of crap that, again, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT).
Me: I'M ON THE PHONE! Point to receiver pressed against my head to emphasize the point.
Ass Hat: Okay, well great. I'll see you later!
Me: I hate you.
Why is it that my co-workers cannot tell that I'm on the phone? This is the THIRD time this has happened today, and about the umteen-millionth time it has happened this week. And it's only Wednesday. Granted, most people backed off when they realized I was on the phone. But not Ass Hat! Apparently the verbal and physical clues are lost on this person.
Is there, like, an Ass Hat convention somewhere where all these people go to learn new ways to behave like Ass Hats? I mean, I thought I had seen just about everything when I worked for Corporate America, but this is a whole new version of Ass Hatiness. Seriously, where did these people learn to behave this way? And is it some sort of conspiracy? Because I can't believe they are so oblivious to the fact that they are annoying the piss out of me when I'm shooting them disapproving looks and making smart-ass comments about their behavior. What do I do? Fight back with equally annoying behavior? Print off this post & hang it in their office in the hopes they get a clue? Medicate myself?
Typically I find some ridiculous passive-aggressive action to take against these kind of people. I'll have to think on this one for awhile since, apparently, I'm dealing with an incredibly clueless version of the Ass Hat. Ideas are welcome. The more offensive, the better.

I vote for medicating yourself. Meet me at the bar.
