I actually know someone who did this, at a job I worked at 25 years ago...

1. Makes sense to me

Knowing how to do one's job is not a prerequisite for managment...even though it should be.

3. The Peter Principle

The Peter Principle is a theory originated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter. It states that successful members of a hierarchical organization are eventually promoted to their highest level of competence, after which further promotion raises them to a level at which they are not competent. The term is a pun on Sigmund Freud's theory of the pleasure principle.

4. A tractor trailer in NJ did that yesterday.

I forget what highway, but the whole state was oddly fucked in traffic yesterday. It took me 3 hours of driving going to Jersey City and back. It should have taken me under 1.5 hours.
