Variation of #1: **PLEASE READ** - sorry, no, you can't make me.

Don’t forget about the special case of “hey, can you call me? I have a quick question…” That’s when the chaos is guaranteed to go to eleven.

Co-worker used to abuse the red flag so much that I set up an outlook rule to strip it from all of his e-mails.

I let him know, figuring that if it was so important, the extra 3 seconds that it took him to flag it was just slowing it down.

I just accidentally locked myself out of my hotel room and can confirm this is exactly how I escalated it. 😅
