Today, I was at a symposium at which my colleague was a co-chair. She and a new acquaintance asked me how it was going. I joked that the discussant's only job at this conference was to be an asshole. The acquaintance was the symposium's discussant. The topic was Rude Behavior at Work. FML

Some people may not understand those words, because they may have never had to encounter it. I don't think you should be calling them morons for never using the words "Symposium" and "discussant" before.

Yeah, you kinda put your foot in it on that one. Consider finding out who you're talking to /before/ saying stupid things in the future.

Anyone attending such a ridiculous conference is automatically a douche anyway. Seriously... "Rude Behavior at Work" is not worth discussing in a fucking conference - everyone knows everything about assholes anyway.
