Appreciation post: I logged every stupid thing my old manager said for 6 weeks and hit 47 quotes

My old boss would say stuff like 'per my last email' out loud in meetings and 'we're a family here' right before denying PTO, so I started a note on my phone. After 6 weeks I had 47 quotes, and when HR sat me down about 'my attitude' I read 12 of them back in order. Her face did this slow melting thing and I got moved to a new team within 9 days. The notes never got me an apology but they kept me from thinking I was the crazy one. Anyone else keep a receipt file like this, and did it ever blow up on you?
