Don't know what's worse, getting rejected twice for trying to update a definition in the urban dictionary or posting about it here.

OP should stick to his poorly veiled income brag threads.

I'd be more sympathetic to the hatred of lazy public servants if it wasn't just as bad in most of the private sector. (patronage, work avoidance, endless meetings to decide stupid crap, etc.)

Well, that and that one time I went to the DMV and the dude behind the counter spoke three languages.

urban dictionary sets the bar low, but steppinthrax still found a way to trip over it and smash his face

Make it shorter and avoid the swears. Maybe something like this?


Government employee: A person employed by the government to attempt to help you, but drowned in bureaucracy removing their ability to actually help.
"I'm very sorry about your situation sir, but as per the policy we can't help you, even though I would like to. You will need to fill out these forms and bring them to these 3 separate addresses between the hours of 9:30am and 11:30am or between the hours of 1:30pm and 3:00pm Monday to Friday, except for Wednesday, the offices are only open till 10am. Next!"

Best definition of government employee:

They're from the government and they're here to help!

This is a pretty sweet backfire thread, no way OP is coming back to this nightmare.

Meh, sometimes it's best for validation seekers to be unabashedly invalidated. Occasionally one will get the hint that they've got something to work on.
I was in the friendly drunk phase, I'll be cursing the fucker in a bit. :awe:
