Back in the days when I worked for Big Dairy I was suppose to send figures everyday to our major customers.

I had one who called my boss complaining that I continually did not send him the updated figures.

I knew I did. I could show the sent message.

I started BCC my manager on the form to make sure he could see I was indeed sending them.

Finally figured out the problem. The form I used had a five character title limit.

So Milk was labeled "Homo" "2%" "1%" "Skim" and the Homo was getting caught in his POSS (Perpetually Offended Special Snowflake) filter.

The customer wanted me to change the industry form rather then allow Homo to stand.

My boss kicked it upstairs who then kicked it upstairs and they kicked it upstairs and... you get the idea. Finally they changed the entire form. It was now 4% Milk.

Well... it was 4% Mi. Five character title limit.

Hahahahahahah, now that’s funny!

If he was badgering you for a report, you could have the text correct everywhere if the word “homogenous” appears 20 times, but in one instance you type “homo genius”

Ah, well...it is a customer, not your boss. Can’t piss off the customers...:)
