Yogurt Licker
I had a temporary supervisor who filled in while the “regular”
supervisor was off fighting in Iraq.
“The Big Dummy” as I called him regularly fell asleep at meetings;
even the meetings he was running. One time while the BD and I were meeting
with the CEO, I was talking face to face with the CEO in a conference
room and sitting behind and slightly left of the CEO was the BD. Yep,
he was drooling and head bobbing. I was nice about it and kicked the
table which roused the lad from slumberland.
One day, I looked in his office and he was eating yogurt. All of the
sudden, I heard a loud, “SHIT”. I looked in and saw him looking at a
sizeable glob of yogurt on his tie (important meeting coming up later
that day). Not long after that, I saw him pick his tie up and lick the
yogurt off.
Real class.

A person should never waste perfectly good yogurt.
Big dummy?
Really? I mean, really?
It’s either 1910 or you’re in kindergarten.
Not the classiest thing to witness but not a bad save either…there are enzymes (or something) in spit which help to break down and remove stains, so I suppose licking some yogurt off a tie beats wearing a stained one in an important meeting.
I had a boss who was known to fall asleep while in your office talking to you.
The best time was when he fell asleep on the toilet and fell off. Loud crash in the stall.
omg he licked food off his tie when he was in the privacy of his office. i hope you sued for sexual harassment.
that’s all?
So?
Are you sure he wasn’t ill? Lethargy that severe sounds like a medical problem.
ok so falling asleep is bad. but who cares about the yogurt part. telling this story explains a lot more about your character than “the big dummy”.
Neither of these incidents by themselves seems to justify your epithet or level of hostility. I’m betting that at some point in your life you probably spilled food on yourself (who hasn’t) and may have fallen asleep at a meeting. I’m guessing you thought *you* should have been made the temporary supervisor instead, especially since you imply that you are older and presumably more experienced. And you might be right, but your jealousy speaks more about your character than his.
Sounds like a funny little story to me! Lay off ppl!!
haha
Just bc he wasn’t THE WORST BOSS IN HISTORY doesn’t mean OP can’t share his/her story!!
I think you’re right sean. This sounds a lot like he could have sleep apnea.
My dad has it and before he was diagnosed he would fall asleep in the middle of conversations, even while he was the one doing the talking.
If your boss was falling asleep in the middle of meetings HE WAS CONDUCTING he probably has a sleep disorder.
So, did you kick the table every time? Or were you a decent enough person at least once to ask him if he was alright?
My father also had sleep apnea. He would fall asleep mid sentence, while reading, eating, anything. It was funny, yeah. But it could kill him.
And what you describe your boss doing, especially with the drooling, just screams sleep apnea. And you are a callous whore for attacking him for a medical issue, and probably a wasteful one for attacking a guy for licking yogurt off his tie. I can’t think of too many people who wouldn’t do that. And anyway, while you’re looking around for a tissue, it’s likely to fall off your tie and onto the rest of your suit.
So, point being, he was likely very ill, and you are likely a jackass. I hope you get fired from there soon, I’m betting you’re so busy watching what other people do, you aren’t doing your job.
<.< I only seem to comment on petty posts by submitters who clearly are not going to advance because of their severe arrested development.
Person has issues that they think somebody lacks class because they fell asleep? Do you not know what "class" means?
Somebody yawning in the middle of a speech about a recent co worker death means no class.
Saying somebody lacks class for licking yogurt off a clean part of their clothing- it's kind of severe. He didn't lick it off an incompetent worker who was getting an unfair promotion.
"Classless" and being a slob are not the same. Classless is going around pointing out people's superficial faults when it has nothing to do with work .
Are your coworkers "classless" because they poop, talk too loud in the elevator. Get a cat or something!
