Lesbi Honest. This Is Weird.

We have interviews lined up for a new position in the office. I am tending to paperwork while an applicant is making small talk.

Applicant: “And you’re a lesbian?”

Me: “What?”

Applicant: “A lesbian? You’re a lesbian.”

Me: “No?”

Applicant: *Looking extremely disappointed* “Oh, I thought you were a lesbian.”

He turned away and sat down. He was taken in shortly after for his interview, but he left rather quickly in comparison to the other applicants. The manager came out and asked what was up with him.

He had apparently interrupted the manager, mid-question, asking if there were any lesbians working here. When she said she didn’t know, he looked distraught and said he didn’t want to bother anymore.

We’ve blacklisted him just in case his curiosity about women’s sexuality in the office was anything other than innocent.
