Are You Kitten Me?

- marabou22 on Reddit

I used to work in human resources. A woman once complained that someone in her department kept meowing, and it was getting on her nerves. I asked the meowing woman to come to my office. I said, “You’re not in trouble, but apparently you keep meowing and an employee asked us to address it with you.”

Her response: “I have freedom of speech. What happens if she sees a cat in a TV commercial and the cat meows, does she get angry at the cat?!”

To which I replied, “Well no, because it’s a cat. It’s expected to meow.”

This went on for some time until the woman agreed to stop meowing. There was no reason for the meowing. She was just meowing.
