Unfiltered Story #56976

(I work second shift in a very small factory – there’s only 15 people on our shift – so everyone knows everyone’s business. For breaks there is a break room and some outdoor seating. I started working in the middle of winter, so when the weather got warm, I switched from having breaks in the break room to the outdoor areas. This story takes place in the middle of July on a day with severe thunderstorms.)

Me: *enters the break room and sits down to eat something*

Coworker: Oh, [My Name]! We haven’t seen you in here for breaks lately!

Me: *not looking up* Yeah, it’s nicer to sit outside when it’s this warm out.

Coworker: *completely serious* Didn’t feel like it today?

Me: *looks at coworker*

Me: *looks out window at pouring rain and lightning*

Me: *looks back at coworker*

Me: It’s…raining.

Coworker: Yes, it is. It’s pretty hot today, better stay inside!

Me: ???
