This really happened to my friend - the only female in an office - just one month into her new job.
Boss (who’s office is adjacent to my friend’s): “When I need to see you, I’ll thump on the wall; when you hear the thump, come see what I want.”
Later that morning, Boss thumps on wall. Friend walks to Boss’ office. Boss: “Fill out these TPS reports and let me know when they are done.”
That afternoon, Boss comes into Friend’s office. “Didn’t you finish the reports yet?”
Friend: “Yes. Didn’t you hear me thump on the wall?”
