I saw my boss at a restaurant with his wife, so I went to say hi. Just a day earlier, he had told us he was going to become a dad, so I smiled and congratulated his wife. She turned pale.
My boss grabbed my arm and whispered, “You idiot, I was talking about my girlfriend. My wife is actually incapable of getting pregnant.” He added, “You should be more careful with what you say next time.”
It was one of the most shocking situations I’ve ever been in. The worst part? He was my boss, and I had to see him every day. It made our encounters so awkward.
