2. Instead of trying to pretend you know how to deal with /discipline your child to save face, just get the nanny. Please.

I worked at Foot Locker for a while. I can't tell you how many times I had this conversation:

Me: "Yes, ma'am, we have that shoe. What size do you need?" (btw - it is a shoe for the lady, not anyone else)
Lady: "I don't remember what size I need."
Me: measure feet; "Okay, ma'am, you need a size 7."
Lady: "That's impossible. All of my shoes are a size 5 1/2."

Seriously, this convo happened more times that I can remember.

Please stop talking. Your voice is annoying to me for some reason.

^^lol
Kids grow. I get that. My thing is, I get it if the kid is over the age of 8 or so ok but to stand there with a child of 3/4/5/6 and ask the kid what size they wear? No.
At least take off the shoe and let me match up with the skates. ( I work at an ice rink)

I am of the opinion that if someone here wants me to have specific information, such as a particular material shipment they are looking for, they will give it to me. My boss is of the opinion that it's my responsibility to continually have my nose in everyone's business and know what everyone is doing and what transactions are occuring at all times. No, thanks. I'll just mind my own business.

Today you think it's hot in the office? Oh, really? It's 79 fucking degrees in here just like it is every other flipping day when you're freezing your ass off and turn your g-d space heater on to get it up to a Sahara-like 83.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but see a doctor. I have winter clothes, and I miss wearing them.

How in the heck did you do get into college anyway?

If this class is causing you to have anxiety attacks - really - it's just not worth it.

Just because I'm 30 years younger than you gives you no right to crack age-related jokes and treat me like a POS for telling you things you don't want to hear. Not my fault I want to please our client and go above and beyond, whereas you aren't flexible and our client hates you.

At some point, you're going to need to let me run my team as I see fit.

You are 65 years old and fat. Please do not wear lowcut, sleeveless tops.

You've known since the fall that I was looking for a new job. As my boss, you have known this long and have done nothing to entice me to stay. I am the best person you have and all you do is crap on me.

I interviewed for a job today that I really, really, really want. And, frankly, I deserve it.

I just hope that I can (very soon) walk into your office and tell you I'm not coming back!

I know you're a first year teacher, but for all that is holy, you cannot break down in front of them. You cannot let them see you cry. However, they might not be so evil toward you if you acted like you enjoyed your job and your students.
