So at my office, there's this ESFJ secretary that can really get on my nerves. She sends out this email today to the staff mailing list (which goes to all 100+ people in the office):

Subject: suspicious person in building
Please keep your eye out for someone who looks suspicious, and not from in this building. Should you come across a man who is wearing army combat apparel, you are being instructed to call 911 directly to inform of his whereabouts. I know we have many people here who dress…differently. So, should you come across someone you don’t feel right about, trust your gut and call 911.
Thanks for keeping an eye out,

I guess that's their ESFJ mothering kicking in? Sure, I mean with all the violence that's happened in the last few years, it's good to be cautious. But for gods sake - sending out a staff email to call the police if you see a guy wearing army gear? Let's assume the guy was a threat. He'd already be causing whatever havoc he was there to cause if he was already spotted in the building by the time people started reading this email. Ok, so it may not have been a 100 percent accurate assumption that the guy wasn't a threat, but it's a pretty good bet. I wasn't annoyed at this point, until I started asking around about this. Apparently the guy was wearing a helmet with a shiny visor and looked more like a storm trooper. The girl who told the secretary about this guy didn't realize it was someone who was dressed up like a soldier from Halo 3...
Gloves are off at this point... it's time for a logic beat down, INTJ style. I send out this to staff:

Here’s a rendition of the assailant:

These people carry a large arsenal of assault rifles, and other various weapons. They can not be killed as they respawn. Be very cautious.

I got a good laugh out of most people in the office. Sarcasm has it's perks :D
