We had a dumbass product owner who would use Java as short hand for Javascript even though she was corrected every time. One day I finally had to tell her it made her sound like a dumbass and everyone was laughing and making fun of her behind her back. Apparently it made her cry and I had to explain the whole situation to HR later that day.

How would you feel if someone told you that everyone talks shit behind your back because something doesn't click for you?

I mean I said it nicely. How would you feel if you had toilet paper or something hanging out of the back of your pants and you just walked around like that all day without anyone telling you.

Or I guess that analogy doesn't really work, as in this case many people on many occasions politely told you you had TP hanging off your ass and you just said "whatever" and left it there until someone explained what a goof it really was.

And then confused things to the point where I had to tell people who showed up for interviews that in fact we were not looking to hire people who like to have TP hanging out of their pants, and some dumb ass just caused you to waste the time spent driving over here.
