Another one, just because I'm in the mood:
One day the VP or my department calls my apartment to reach me, which is odd, as he should have and usually does call my cell. My wife picked up and, because he had an Australian accent, assumed it was her boss. So, she asked him a business related question in industry shorthand ( a different industry than I am in) and my boss immediately begins telling her how she could phrase her questions more effectively. She explains to him that she asks the questions in a specific order so she will have an idea of when specific clients will be available and he tells her that it would make more sense if she just gave them a firm time to begin with and that she sounded like a used car salesmen by giving them options. Then he rambled on about the time Henry Kissinger asked him for his opinion. The advice he gave her is actually something he follows and has wreaked HAVOC in scheduling anything not department-specific. But he's convinced that's the way to do things because he rarely has to deal with the blowback.
