I worked for half a dozen years with a very lazy black woman who I actually liked personally. In social settings she was very nice, and funny. But at work it was like torture sometimes.

She frequently used phony excuses for not coming to work. In one year she claimed seven times that she had to go to an aunt’s funeral. Finally in exasperation I asked her, “How many aunts do you have left?” She could get away with this because of her race and gender. She was untouchable.
