5 o'clock Charlie 

When your boss does somethnig just as you're about to clock out that fucks up the rest of your day or weekend. Typically, this is comprised of a request for you to do some work and is due to laziness and/or lack of preparedness on their part.

This is a reference to an episode of MASH where the enemy would fly in everyday at 5 o'cock and drop a bomb on the camp's garbage pile.

Darcy is such a shitty boss. She came in to my office just as I was clocking out and told me she needed the last 2 weeks of bank records before I go. She knew about this request a long time ago but since she sucks as a manager and a human being, she thinks it's okay to routinely drop these 5 o'clock Charlies in my lap.
