Stupid idiocy.

Moron at the work ISP, or more to the point, their wiring contractor, regarding our query as to why it will take two extra months to turn up our new line simply because before yesterday he did not know that we needed a riser run from the basement:  “I have reached out to <whomever> and will let you know what I find out.”

“I have reached out.”

Me, I would like to “reach out” and strangle you, and anyone else who uses that stupid phrase.  I guess “reaching out” is the new touchy-feely way to do business in this Millenial age.  “Reach out” and hit you with a baseball bat, knock some sense into that steaming bowl of mush you call a brain.  Yeah.  That’s the ticket.
