"witch hunt"

A witch-hunt was traditionally a search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, which could lead to a witchcraft trial involving the accused person. Today such events are recognised as a type of moral panic. Witchhunts still occur in the modern era, in many and various communities where religious values condemn the practice of witchcraft and the occult. On a general basis, the term may also denote the persecution of a perceived enemy (commonly socially non-conformist groups) with extreme prejudice and disregard of actual guilt or innocence.

i found out what witch hunt means in office today. this particular person i was liaising with was very fickle in what she wanted in the catalogue. I think it was after a fourth request, of the same thing, that i couldn't take it. (well wad make me lose my patience is that we actually did 3 changes or so to it and it really wasted lots of time)

so yeah i emailed her this after a couple of minutes delibrating the risk of me getting dismissed or the likes. (i swore i was trying to sound as pissed as i was):
