i wonder why nobody signed the farewell card for the type of ass to sue for not getting a farewell card.
What's the opposite of eating the onion? I read your comment and scoffed, wondering who could actually believe this. The I saw the "Not" in the comm name.
Boofing an apple obvs
I vote for this to become official.
Carried. roscoe boofed that apple
I'm leaning towards either, "Fabricating The Onion," or "Puking The Onion." I think the first is a more accurate assessment of the situation though.
Edit: both my suggestions aren't any good next to "Picking/Plucking The Onion."
Picking the onion
This is better than both of my suggestions. The only refinement I can suggest is,
"Plucking The Onion."
Pickling the onion
Presuming the onion
When it is in fact, an orange 😌
That's not bad, but I'm not sure it beats the other suggestion of, "Plucking the Onion."
Edit: I misremembered, they actually said "Picking the Onion."
You're getting played by this misleading article. There is no evidence that anyone didn't sign the card because they didn't like her. If you follow the link to the actual article, there were two other people who didn't get cards either for the same reason. It's not in that articles, but I read elsewhere that because this happened during COVID it was just difficult to get people to sign them.
The woman sounds like a dope, but most people are kind and would sign the card anyway. Most people aren't looking to get petty revenge against people they don't even know that well.
Except unlike those others, this woman sued (for a bunch of things, not just the card thing), and the judge dismissed all of them saying she displayed a victim mentality over normal office interactions. I'm not faulting people for assuming she's not very likable.
Why is a farewell card a binding legal obligation in the first place? Where are the manners police to whom we can appeal when our brittle feelings have been transgressed?
You can sue for anything. I can sue you for trespassing in my home because your message is in it right now. Suing someone doesn't mean you're right or that you even have grounds to sue.
