Recently, my manager keeps claiming, “It’s freezing cold at work!” Her subjective claim is obviously an exaggeration and also very subjective. The rest of the people in the department always complain about how warm they are while they are working. We are warm because we are running around and keeping busy. The manager thinks it is really cold because she sits in the back stock room and just goes on the Internet. Thus, she thinks it is cold because her workload does not involve moving, while everyone else thinks it’s warm because we are busy and not stagnant.
Last weekend I went shopping with my boyfriend so he could buy some new clothes for work. He tried on a shirt and I said, “that shirt is way too big for you.” This was an objective argument because it was clearly too big due to the fact that he grabbed the wrong size. It was a fact that the shirt was too big based on the common knowledge of how clothes should fit. A dress shirt for a professional job does not fit if it is made for someone twice your size. Now, I also said, “you look like a magician in that shirt,” but that would be a subjective argument.
