I will never forget going out for lunch with co-workers from my old job and running into my friend from college who is a commercial loan specialist. He is half black so he looked middle eastern and my co-worker goes “wow you know all the talk dark and mysterious characters”
I told him “mysterious? He helps people get approved for loans” and the guy goes “and let me guess, he breaks their kneecaps if they dont pay”. I was like:
Still not as offensive as when my bosses boss said “we almost didnt hire you because it wad right after the “pulse night club” shooting and we were “on edge”” I was in the meeting like:
But the grand finale was when I made the mistake of being vulnerable and sharing with my team that a close family friend who I had known since she was a child had been murdered by her fiance and he replied with “damn I cant believe these families let their daughters marry these
Crazy guys, I mean im single, ______ is single, she should have just married one of us”. I had to excuse myself for my familys financial well being because he was so close to danger that day and had no clue”
Oh I forgot the time my co-worker saw a pic of me and my mom on my desk and asked “is that your mom?”, “yeah why do we look alike?”, “no I just didnt think you put your arm around a woman who wasn’t your wife”
Now that I think back on it I have had some fucked up work experiences lol
