I've tried several different styles. One wiry a straight stem, one with a sort of flat ball, and one with a loop. The loop one was easy as hell to remove; the other two were awful. The straight stem was, by far, the worst – hardest to grasp, kept slipping from between my fingers... The loop is SO EASY.

I've trained as a home inspector. I – along with every home inspector I know – strongly advise against using flexible or semi-rigid dryer ducts. It's just advice, though, not a command.

Wait, wait, wait. Do NOT use that flexible duct – it is a terrible fire hazard!!! https://youtu.be/RBxhb7tGd0I
Please, please, PLEASE, if you value your life, home, and belongings, go get rigid ducts.
Please also get aluminum tape to seal the joints.

Several months after my father died, I ran into someone we'd known for nearly 40 years, who asked how my parents were. Somehow, he hadn't heard that my father had died (which was actually rather surprising, because it was a pretty big deal in our community; his funeral was absolutely packed). I'm sure he felt terrible about it, but honestly, I felt terrible for him, and not at all for myself. I mean, it's not like I'd forgotten he had died, and frankly, it's nice to know that people continue to remember him fondly – and while I know that, if I'd been in his shoes, I'd have been absolutely mortified, I really didn’t want him to feel bad. I'm sure it's the same for OP's co-worker.
