Today, I had to go to a boring, never-ending "sensitivity training" session, all because my douchebag coworker filed a complaint against me last week after I apologized for being tardy. Apparently I was insulting people with mental disorders. Or as she put it, "differently-abled" people. FML

Your co-worker needs a remedial English class.

I find your comment offensive to "differently-able" people

Tardy: Origin: mid 16th century; from French 'tardif', '-ive', from Latin 'tardus' ("slow") What a quick trip to the dictionary will tell you.

Wow your coworker must be a "tardy"

The only sensitivity training you'll ever need is the sensitivity training episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit!

The world is full of morons, put the complainer on the list.

She was in the wrong here, but you kind of seem like an asshole here, ngl.

should hand her a dictionary and open it to "tardy"

Why can't you just say "late" like the rest of the world

Tardy literally means late, they're synonyms. The French word for 'late' is 'retard'. It's not OP's fault if they have a broader vocabulary than their coworker, and honestly there's nothing offensive about the word 'tardy'. It literally just means late so why not use that word if they want to.

I suggest you find a new work place with more intelligent people

Apologize to your co-worker in an e mail with the subject line: Tardy When idiot co-worker responds (Re: Tardy), file a complaint on their ass.
