Share a humorous workplace incident

Years ago when I worked at Carnival Cruise Lines, a coworker was talking on the phone to another coworker who is gay.

Apparently, he called her a "fag hag" over the phone. She retorted by saying, "Oh yeah, well you're a straight hag".

I blew soda through my nose. Several of us were laughing so hard, we were crying. No one could compose themselves enough to say, "I don't really think that's an insult, not even a polite one."
