@g4 This reminds me of a random story. One time, a neighbor asked to borrow some sugar, and I, of course, obliged as a friendly neighbor. Then they wanted to take me out as a thank you. I don’t think they actually cared about the sugar. In fact, I remember that hearing the neighbor’s friend encouraging them to skip the sugar part entirely long before that, which makes me suspect their intention was never actually to borrow sugar.
They probably forgot that part because they were turned down by me. It’s okay, though. To be nice, I chose to forget about the interaction too. If I interacted with that same neighbor in the future afterward, they’d probably assume I was just messing with them rather than me genuinely trying to understand their true intentions.
And no, this anecdote is not indirectly about anyone in the workplace either. I genuinely mean that this was a real, very random and limited personal interaction I had with someone outside of work, and also not from work. Life is so complicated sometimes! Hopefully that neighbor doesn't hold a grudge thinking I hate them or something :)
@zb juicy or sweet?
that lawsuit will be juicy.
You might get fired or just pushed out for just turning down a date. Doesn't surprise me one bit...
