Coworker #1: “Hey, [Coworker #2], shall I put you down for a plus-one for the office party?”
Coworker #2: “No, we broke up.”
Coworker #1: “Oh, really?! But you were going so steady!”
Coworker #2: “Yeah, but she was way too into Marx, and Stalin, and taking down the capitalist state. I wanted to just chill and have fun, but she was all…” *Struggles to find the right word*
Coworker #1: “…Communist. The word you’re looking for is ‘communist’.”
Coworker #2: “…Yeah.”
[Coworker #1] starts cracking up.
Coworker #2: “Hey! It’s not funny. I liked her.”
Coworker #1: “I know! I’m sorry, but I can’t help but wonder… how you didn’t see all those red flags!”
