Annoying Indy quotes? Choose wisely
Among fans of the '80s, there's nothing more celebrated than the ability to quote our favorite movies in any social setting without hesitation.
But nothing brings as much personal satisfaction as badgering co-workers and bosses with these same trivial nuggets. So it gives me great glee to introduce today's guide to better office politics...
HOW TO ANNOY YOUR COWORKERS WITH INDIANA JONES QUOTES:
WHEN YOU STEAL THE LAST DONUT: "Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."
WHEN ANSWERING A CELL PHONE DURING A MEETING: "It's a transmitter, a radio for speaking to God."
TO CAP OFF THAT THREE-BEER LUNCH: "Ah, dessert! Chilled monkey brains."
WHEN THE INTERN BUNGLES AN ASSIGNMENT: "You lost today, kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it."
WHEN ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLING INTO A MANAGERS-ONLY MEETING: "Nazis. I hate these guys."
TACO-DAY AT THE COMPANY CAFETERIA: "My son, we're pilgrims in an unholy land."
A CO-WORKER RATS YOU OUT TO THE HR DEPARTMENT: "I knew you would sell your mother for an Etruscan vase. But I didn't
know you would sell out your country and your soul... to the slime of
humanity."
WHEN HANDED THAT PINK SLIP: "And this is how we say goodbye in Germany .... (slap!)"
