they’re gagging and crying from the heat.

Take their wallets while they can’t resist and mock those weaklings right back.

Yes, this has happened to me. The woman in question was at the time under investigation by HR for bullying her direct reports, so she was probably trying to smooth things over with her previous victims. Didn’t help her.
