That moment during the course of an argument when someone shoots themself in the foot.
Colleague: "We don't know how to do it!"
Me: "So find out! Google is your friend!"
Colleague: "We need to ask their IT guy how to do it!"
Me: "What? They pay us to support them. Why on earth would a company pay someone to support them if the supporting company asks the customer how to support them?"
Colleague: "Well, that's what they employed their IT guy for."
Me: "What he was employed for is none of our business. We were employed to perform that task. For how long do you think we will have the contract if we ask their IT guy how to do it?"
Colleague: "He doesn't know how to do it either!"
Me: "Hang on! So why are you determined to ask him?"
