They're painting our office today at work. And heaven forbid they paint it on the weekend when no one is here, no they want us to sit here huffing paint, getting headaches. BLEhhhh...do not want.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Yeah, gotta love that. They cleaned our carpets at work a few weeks ago and the cleanser they were using made EVERYONE sick.
With 45 color pictures and 8x10 photos for your blind judge?
Kid, I want you to go over and sit down on that bench that says 'Group W'.
Did you at least have a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat?

There was one year here when they decided to get a flocked christmas tree, and put it 5 feet from my office. I'd never seen a flocked xmas tree before, and discovered that the flocking gave me severe respiratory distress. They didn't take it down, I had to suffer through it all month.
By brother quit flocking the tree when his 3 yo kept saying, "Daddy fucked the tree!"
That's some interesting logic you've got there.
I know, right? It was our greatest victory over the hated penguin mafia!
Just so you guys now "Flocke" or better yet "Schneeflocke", is the german word for snow flake, so flocking means something along the lines of "snowflaking".
It has more to do with thw fact that english's parent language is german.
See we took words from french but french is latin derived. Modern english mechanically descends from the german base language.
The only time I've heard the term "flocking" is the process the Muppet builders use to give a certain texture to the fabric by conducting an electrical charge through it. Imagine my surprise/disappointment when I found out you guys just meant "fake snow on trees".
I thought these trees were going to be awesome.

Well, it wasn't as if it was just powder we drizzled on by the handful. They applied this stuff with some kind of blower and an adhesive, so it worked out to kind of be like a big frosted wheat if the frosting machine had gone out of control. The powder coat was about half a centimeter thick... but when it started breaking/flaking, it was such fine particulate matter that I was coughing up blood for a month.The only time I've heard the term "flocking" is the process the Muppet builders use to give a certain texture to the fabric by conducting an electrical charge through it.
