Douchiest things overheard in the office?

As the post Thanksgiving depression starts to settle in, let's hear the douchiest, funniest, most outrageous stories you've heard of or personally witnessed. Anything from hearing your MD talk about his brand new Rolex Daytona, to sweaty summer analyst wearing the Gordon Gekko shirt in the office. Someone make me laugh.

 

ppl complaining about their wives and kids fleeing to the hamptons or nantucket while they have to work as if they have a gun to their head and don’t have free will

 

Boss loves to show off his cars. Granted they are nice cars, but he REALLY loves to show them. His DB11 is super cool and so is his Ferrari 458. He gave me a ride in his wraith once, he’s not a bad guy, but is def a douche.

 

I’m his defense, he might be a car guy. I’ve met some people that could not shut the fuck up about their Sylvia, which at the heart of it is just a Nissan from the 90’s. Completely ignore this if he knows fuck all about his vehicles though lol.

 

He is a car guy. He does it to show off though, not hard to tell. You know those 24 year olds on insta showing off their lambo? he’s kinda like that, but 48 years old.

 

Clarification: second wedding of his wife, with her boyfriend. 

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.

"alright, if anyone calls, tell them I'm in a meeting" guy talking to his assistant at 330pm en route to the titty bar before he has to pick his kids up at 5pm (this was not a one time thing)

"hey man, where's that hot fucking assistant of yours?" SVP talking to other SVP (said assistant was right behind him)

saw a guy put handwritten notes on people's cars after they parked in his poorly marked reserved spot (there's always plenty of parking, so that's not ever an issue), the note said "you may or may not have seen the reserved sign, but just in case you didn't know, this spot is NOT reserved for YOU." this guy has personally donated millions to charity but is a douche with his parking spot

I haven't heard as much since I'm not in the bullpen anymore, but sometimes I crack my door just to reminisce 

 

I did not realize that people from West Virginia have access to the internet.  Seriously, don't you people have better things to do with your time.

I live in the city, and I can assure you, it's not just people in the midwest who think you have a mental deficit

I have a mental deficit and yet you are the person who thinks West Virginia is in the mid-west...  I think you need to invest in a map.   I will be the first to admit my knowledge of geography is terrible but even I know West Virginia is in the South.
