According to a report from the Department of Massive Overerctions, a New Zealand woman was fired for “confrontational” word-formatting.

P.S. BAH. I copied this into notepad before going to my previous class and the post has been edited since. Apparently it was Overreactions ~_~.

I find your word processing too confrontational. I'm banning you from the Department of Massive Overerections.
