Flowchart Types: The Ultimate Guide to Bureaucratic Red Tape

1. The "I'm-Not-Listening" Flowchart

For when you want to pretend you're interested in what someone is saying, but really you're just waiting for your next meeting.

Example: "I'm trying to understand the new policy, but my mind keeps wandering to the coffee machine."

2. The "Towers-of-Babel" Flowchart

For when you're trying to explain something simple to a committee of 12 people with 12 different opinions.

Example: "So, let me get this straight... We need 17 different forms in triplicate, and then we need to fax them to the fax machine."

3. The "Red-Tape" Flowchart

For when you're stuck in a loop of bureaucratic nonsense.

Example: "Step 1: Fill out form A. Step 2: Wait 6-8 weeks for response. Step 3: Repeat steps 1-2 for eternity."
