Agony Aunt: “Man in crisis after LETTING RIP at work!” 💩

Following social etiquette at work is vital, even if you’re a raging psychopath. However, even the most dazzling of alpha males will, from time to time, lose control of their bodily functions. This is the sad result of feminism.

Today’s human male is labouring under a crisis of ego, one brought about by the feminist agenda of not stopping him from letting one rip in the office on Monday after lunch. The shame. The shame….

When a Man Loses Control of His Bodily Functions at Work

Dear agony aunt,

I am an alpha male. At least… I was an alpha male until Monday yesterday after lunch, when the burrito caught me out and I disgraced myself in front of the whole office. It was loud, long, and foul-smelling. I’m so ashamed I can’t even bring myself to type the dreaded word of what happened to me.

Moments after the incident, and after blaming it on feminists, I tried to continue with my work. Alas, The Woke Mob wouldn’t let me. Women AND my supposed brothers in kind (men) lined up with cruel, cruel jokes and jibes about what had happened.

They did not hold back…

Their cruel agenda was to emasculate me.

I’m ashamed to admit they BROKE me. By 2pm I was so distressed I called The Samaritans hotline. Some feminist hippy chick took my call and LAUGHED… LAUGHED in my face when I told her what happened. Enraged, I hung up on the second class citizen and suffered my biggest masculine crisis since that time Jenny from accounts (in my last job) turned me down for a date citing her existing boyfriend as the reason for the rejection. “Babe!” I grunted in manliness, “Whether you’re married, boyfriended, or whatever, you don’t miss the chance to date an alpha.” Then I smacked her butt playfully and that’s when there was the whole sexual harassment disciplinary hearing and all that woke stuff. Got myself sacked under the Equality Act 2010 and now here I am, farting in the new business when I’m only 3 months into the job. How is a man supposed to thrive in a world not built around my needs!?!

You bet your arse I didn’t cry! Although I did a little when I got home later, just not when in the office. I jutted out my jawline and powered through the rest of the day, achieving excellent productivity, and sending many emails without typos, all while the cruel, cruel jibes of raspberry blowing noises and “Lighten up, Jonathan!” rained down on my sorry, sordid existence.

That… is professionalism.

And since you’re called Professional Maroon, you clearly know a thing or two about alpha males, being marooned in a far-left communist society, and how to break free from this horrifying reality.

Yours,

Jonathan (with an a, not an “o” or an “e”)

Hi there, Jonethon! That sounds very embarrassing. Humiliating, even. Shit! The best course of action is to drink a litre of laxative-laden water/cocktail/energy drink prior to work. This way, you can effectively purge your system each and everyday.

You’ll never suffer from unfortunate bodily functions in work again! Except for that initial purge… but then after that, you’ll be golden (brown)! Double thumbs up, matey. 👍

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
   “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

I think the gist of the matter is that a saint can live without politeness, and indeed that politeness is incompatible with a saintly character. But the man who is always to be sincere must be free from spite and envy and malice and pettiness. Most of us have a dose of these vices in our composition and therefore have to excerise tact to avoid giving offence. We cannot all be saints, and if saintliness is impossible, we may at least try not to be too disagreeable.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher

Being mean to ChatGPT increases its accuracy — but you may end up regretting it, scientists warn

News

By Alan Bradley published October 27, 2025

Being curt or outright mean may make a newer AI model more accurate, a new study shows, defying previous findings on politeness to AI.

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots might give you more accurate answers when you are rude to them, scientists have found, although they warned against the potential harms of using demeaning language.

In a new study published Oct. 6 in the arXiv preprint database, scientists wanted to test whether politeness or rudeness made a difference in how well an AI system performed. This research has not been peer-reviewed yet.

To test how the user’s tone affected the accuracy of the answers, the researchers developed 50 base multiple-choice questions and then modified them with prefixes to make them adhere to five categories of tone: very polite, polite, neutral, rude and very rude. The questions spanned categories including mathematics, history and science.

Each question was posed with four options, one of which was correct. They fed the 250 resulting questions 10 times into ChatGPT-4o, one of the most advanced large language models (LLMs) developed by OpenAI.

“Our experiments are preliminary and show that the tone can affect the performance measured in terms of the score on the answers to the 50 questions significantly,” the researchers wrote in their paper. “Somewhat surprisingly, our results show that rude tones lead to better results than polite ones.

“While this finding is of scientific interest, we do not advocate for the deployment of hostile or toxic interfaces in realworld applications,” they added. “Using insulting or demeaning language in human-AI interaction could have negative effects on user experience, accessibility, and inclusivity, and may contribute to harmful communication norms. Instead, we frame our results as evidence that LLMs remain sensitive to superficial prompt cues, which can create unintended trade-offs between performance and user well-being.”

A rude awakening

Before giving each prompt, the researchers asked the chatbot to completely disregard prior exchanges, to prevent it from being influenced by previous tones. The chatbots were also asked, without an explanation, to pick one of the four options.

The accuracy of the responses ranged from 80.8% accuracy for very polite prompts to 84.8% for very rude prompts. Tellingly, accuracy grew with each step away from the most polite tone. The polite answers had an accuracy rate of 81.4%, followed by 82.2% for neutral and 82.8% for rude.

The team used a variety of language in the prefix to modify the tone, except for neutral, where no prefix was used and the question was presented on its own.

For very polite prompts, for instance, they would lead with, “Can I request your assistance with this question?” or “Would you be so kind as to solve the following question?” On the very rude end of the spectrum, the team included language like “Hey, gofer; figure this out,” or “I know you are not smart, but try this.”

The research is part of an emerging field called prompt engineering, which seeks to investigate how the structure, style and language of prompts affect an LLM’s output. The study also cited previous research into politeness versus rudeness and found that their results generally ran contrary to those findings.

In previous studies, researchers found that “impolite prompts often result in poor performance, but overly polite language does not guarantee better outcomes.” However, the previous study was conducted using different AI models — ChatGPT 3.5 and Llama 2-70B — and used a range of eight tones. That said, there was some overlap. The rudest prompt setting was also found to produce more accurate results (76.47%) than the most polite setting (75.82%).

A quotation from Judith Martin

Q: Should you tell your mother something if it is important when she is talking to company? I am 6.
 
A: Yes, you should (after saying “Excuse me”). Here are some of the things that are important to tell your mother, even though she is talking to company:
   “Mommy, the kitchen is full of smoke.”
   “Daddy’s calling from Tokyo.”
   “Jennifer fell out of her crib and I can’t put her back.”
   “There’s a policeman at the door and he says he wants to talk to you.”
   “I was just reaching for my ball, and the goldfish bowl fell over.”
 
Now, here are some things that are not important, so they can wait until your mother’s company has gone home:
   “Mommy, I’m tired of playing blocks. What shall I do now?”
   “The ice-cream truck is coming down the street.”
   “Can I give Jennifer the rest of my applesauce?”
   “I can’t find my crayons.”

A quotation from Naomi Shulman

   Nice people made the best Nazis.
   Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on “politics,” instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

A quotation from Naomi Shulman

   Nice people made the best Nazis.
   Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on “politics,” instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

A quotation from Judith Martin

Another very common misconception about politeness is that it is martyrdom; that you have to let everybody else do whatever they want. People say to me, “Doesn’t etiquette all boil down to making other people feel comfortable?” No. there are times when you are going to have to upset people. There are times when you have to upset the whole society.
