Return of the Omnipotent Stick
In my very first post on this site, I talked about the Omnipotent Stick. If you haven't read this before, read it now. You will appreciate it.
Here is a new example:
Today my consulting firm set me up with an interview. Cool, I appreciate that, but what I don't appreciate is that you did not provide a job description and I really didn't know what I was getting myself into.
I show up to [Software Company] and start the interview. It lasted about 15 minutes. Dude starts blabbing off internal terminology left and right, not making any sense.
I, knowing that employers appreciate and respect people that ask questions when they need clarification, ask him to define some of the acronyms he's throwing out so I can better relate them to my own experience. Dude rolls his eyes back, let's out a sigh, and says "I think we're done here".
WTF dude?! How about we reverse the roles and you apply at my company (yes, I'm pretending I am not "in between jobs" at this point) and I explain everything to you in my own terms and acronyms, confuse the hell out of you, and then send you on your because you didn't get it.
Kiss my ass.

Hey, I’m creating content for the VKB about the BLT. If you could get with one of the FTE’s and do a download, I’d appreciate it as I don’t have the bandwidth. Oh, and please f/u w/me when complete. TY and TTYL
"What?"
"I think we're done here."
