@Archangel

If they are not my direct supervisor and they have no real authority over me and my work and they still bossy me around, I listen to all they have to say. Ignore it and then do whatever I damn well please.

I usually take this approach

@NomiCA

You can do this other thing…

If he asks you to do something…ask him every little tiny winy detail about what to do, what he prefers, how to do it…Like if he asks you to write a report “what format do you prefer, what should be the spacing, how many pages, what should be the salutation…what font.”

I used to do that to annoy the ‘bossy’ people…it was fun

But I like this idea, I might start doing that.

Edit: That ‘multi quote’ thing is a bit technical, I think I may have Pm’ed people
