sounds like you really wanted to say "hey, this person i work with is really dumb and i'm annoyed at her".

which is fine, i'd be annoyed at her too

did you actually have to put the ads out, or could you just tell her to go away?

Summed up in a nutshell,

did you actually have to put the ads out, or could you just tell her to go away?

Yes to the first...but I have said the second on a different occasion.

I would have stabbed her in the foot with a pitchfork. She would have learnt her lesson then.

I get this all the time, and my answer is always the same, 'Why are you trying to make my day shit as well as yours because you cannot do your job properly?'

People usually get the point. Otherwise I just send them an email of a lolcat, generally one of the Fail ones.

Wouldn't be the foot I'd aim for...

Let's say there is a deadline for a certain something, and that deadlline is Friday.

1) Would you think it's acceptable for someone to bring something in the following Wednesday, five days afterwards?

2) If you were the individual bringing in that something five days after the supposed deadline, would you be surprised if everyone everyone else in the building was angry at you?

1) yes

2) no
