An autistic woman’s day working from home was reportedly ruined by your request that she join a video call at short notice, you absolute psychopath.
Talia Cohen, 40, was in full goblin mode when you interrupted her mid-task to demand that she run through her repertoire of thoughtful listening expressions while you “touch base”.
“I told you I would low key rather die in a fire than cosplay as a human being right now,” she said. “Except obviously I didn’t. What I actually typed was: ‘Great idea. Just give me two secs and I’ll be right with you. Smiley face emoji.’ Honestly, I don’t know which of us I hate more.”
“Microsoft Teams gives me a rash. From now on I will only be summoned with an ouija board, a grimoire, and six black candles – and then only on a full moon.”
Cohen was last seen positioning a lifesize cardboard cut out of herself in front of a laptop.
