Bathroom Policy Revision 3.2
This was back during COVID. Mom works HR and has been working from home for a few weeks. After years of relying on the hour-long commute to slowly turn off her ‘HR Brain,’ suddenly having to keep it activated at home would sometimes result in how she would talk to us kids.
Mom: *Coming out from a quick bathroom break.* “Going forward, we’d appreciate improved bathroom towel compliance.”
Me: “Huh?”
Sister: “She means hang up your towel when you’re done with it!”
Me: “Oh… uh, sorry.”
Mom: “Thank you for your feedback.”
My mom, the always-in-character HR method-actor, the Daniel Day-Lewis of corporate speak!
