Unfiltered Story #56909

(I’m working a late night shift with some of my coworkers. It’s a pretty laid back work environment as opposed to the earlier day shifts. One of my coworkers likes to tease me about “being into” various customers who are men. It couldn’t be further from the case, but usually I laugh it off, because I know he’s joking.)

Manager: So did anyone take care of ice?

Coworker #1: Um, yeah, one of the new guys. The tall and blond one.

Me: Both of the new guys are tall and blond.

Coworker #2: Woah, [My Name], don’t get too excited now.

Me: *deadpan* [Coworker #2], I’m gay.

Coworker #2: *after a stunned pause* Well I don’t know what to say to that.

Manager: *cackling*

(I had to set things straight, because customers come and go, but I don’t want any of my coworkers assuming I’ve got a “thing” for them when I don’t! The funniest thing about this, though, is that I’ve referenced to me being gay several times before!)
