Unnecessary Questions: The Bureaucratic Way
Warning: This guide is not intended for the faint of heart or those with a love for efficiency. Proceed with caution, or better yet, with a sense of existential dread.
Step 1: Ask the Question
Begin by asking a question. Any question will do. The sillier, the better. For example: "Can a hamster wearing a top hat run faster on a treadmill than on a trampoline?"
Step 2: Wait for a Response
Wait. And wait some more. The longer, the better. For example: "Can you please hold for 5 minutes while I check with my supervisor?"
Step 3: Receive a Response
Eventually, after an eternity of waiting, you'll receive an answer. It may be an answer, or it may be a form that asks for more information. But hey, that's just part of the process, right?
Step 4: Repeat the Cycle
And so, the cycle repeats. Ad infinitum. Because, well, bureaucracy is all about the process, not the actual outcome.
