#26: Strange Strangers
The holidays often inspire people to exercise generosity and kindness. This story is Exhibit A for why you shouldn’t be nice to people and make new friends. This man’s wife invited her coworker and the coworker’s boyfriend over for Thanksgiving dinner. Since his wife worked with this young lady and seemed totally chill, the family welcomed her with open arms.
As they were eating Thanksgiving dinner, the conversation took a weird turn. Somehow, the coworker started talking about “that one time” she was hanging out with her brother, and they “got super trashed on Robitussin.” She then said, “The next thing you know, we… uh… that was a really weird time.” We do NOT like the implications. Don’t invite your coworkers to Thanksgiving. You don’t really know them.
