In life, you remember a lot of things. Your first kiss. The trophy you won in little league. That one time when your manager applied you were retarded. All great moments.
I’ll personally never forget the day my boss applied that I was retarded. We were at a restaurant as a department to celebrate the holiday season.
Crazy Manager was walking/talking to everyone and was probably drunk as a skunk. She goes up to Kevin who is sitting next to me and explains, “Kevin is so nice!”
Then I but in and say, “what crazy manager, how about me? I’m nice!”
She pauses for a second and goes, “you’re special. Very special. You take the special bus to work.”
Nobody excepts to hear that from anybody let alone your boss. Luckily, I had a response, “Well, I only take the special bus on Tuesday and Thursday. My parents drive me in the rest of the week.”
she erupts with laughter. Everyone does. She says something else and I go, “if you paid me more I wouldn’t have to!”
Best thing about my manager applying I was retarded? I got to shove it in her face I wasn’t!
