The sequence, It's criminal. ... Spare me! ... Cheap thrills. ... Many more! ... helps you stand up to an abusive supervisor who controls scarce resources. Just remember, no matter what you say or do, you can't win, so you might as well have fun! In the following scenario, you're standing in front of the dispatcher, saying absolutely nothing, expecting very little:

"Did you say something?" "It's criminal."

"Then I don't have to give you your waybill." "Spare me!"

"What he lacks in size he makes up for in speed." "Cheap thrills."

"Here, take it!" "Many more!"

"It's criminal" sounds a little drastic, doesn't it? – Use it when someone's ignoring you a certain way, or talking past you.

"Many more!" sounds a little drunk, doesn't it? – a nice way to finish it off. You're out on a Holiday Celebration, raising your flask to toast an imaginary nobleman, because it's hard to attack an imaginary drunken fool!
