I saw my boss at a restaurant with his wife. I went to say hi. He had told us a day ago that 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 actually is incapable of getting pregnant.” He added, “You should be more careful with what you say next time.”
It was one of the most surprising situations I had ever experienced.
The most difficult aspect was that he was my superior, and I had to face him daily. This made our interactions incredibly uncomfortable.
