Mary Hairnet explained....
Man who is this "mary hairnet" and what harm did she do to you? You show much anger towards her.
"Mary Hairnet" is a character from one of the "Notes Administrator"
comic writeups I think... A story about a Lotus Notes admin with
a lot of audacity... eg:
1:20 P.M. Mary Hairnet from cafeteria calls. Says she keeps getting calls for "Notice Loads" or "NoLoad Goats," she's not sure, couldn't hear over industrial-grade blender. Tell her it was probably "Lettuce Nodes." Maybe the food distributor with a new product? She thinks about it and hangs up.
For whatever reason, though, which escapes me, I think of Mrs.
Hairnet as being equivalent to "Mrs. Kravitz" types or any other
busybody type lady in the neighborhood who is always stirring up
shit or gossip. These people (typically women, but sometimes
men) have nothing better to do than to insert themselves into
others business or make trouble that that didn't exist, or create
situations that are often "much to do about nothing". Often
times they are just a pain in the ass to deal with. When I was
younger and dumber, I think what typified "Mary Hairnet" for me
was a job I had growing up.... I mowed this lady's lawn for $5 an
hour, and while I called her "the 5 dollar lady" (she always
grumbled and then made some noise about how the kids at market
basket make about that much, which IMO even at the time was
BS- I usually got more money for a typical lawn but I was hard up
for cash ) She always was whining about her neighbors, too
(eg, what they were doing, or didn't do) and the city's non
maintenance of the "burm" around her property. (basically it was a
POS asphalt curb section that probably would never be there in
normal circumstances, and the plow wrecks it every year and she
whines until they come along and fix it. )
And that, my friends, is what a "Mary Hairnet" is.
