Noooo, Don’t Make Your Boss Confront Reality! Bosses HATE That!

I was on break and checking my local state’s lottery website. One of the available lotteries would pay out $10,000 per month for the rest of my life. I figured the odds were ridiculously low, but I decided to play.

My boss wandered in and asked me what I was up to. I explained the winnings and my boss scoffed.

Boss: “Not worth it. Who can survive on only $10,000 a month, anyway?”

I stared at him until he shifted uncomfortably under my stare.

Boss: “What?”

Me: “[Boss], how much money do you think you’re paying ME?!”

My boss shut his mouth and fled from the break room. I just shook my head at how out of touch he was with reality. 

He avoided me for over a week.
