the classic Finnish mix of extreme dutifulness and āwe will make actual conversation after a silent interaction trial period of 6 weeks, thank youā can be really funny sometimes. told my coworker that Iād like to save the coffee grounds the workplace generated and take them home āfor my mushrooms and wormsā and she was just like āokeiā and dutifully saved every single grounds-filled filter for weeks and weeks. about five weeks into this whole thing, after I thank her for the coffee grounds and tell her my worms must love them because theyāre breeding very enthusiastically, she finally asks āso your worms⦠do they have a purpose or are they just⦠wormsā. like sure Iāll save you all these coffee grounds every single time I drink coffee, 3+ times a day, but god forbid I inquire about your specific worm habits before propriety allows it. you could be eating them for breakfast for all I know but thatās your business
this post has been up for so long Iām at a new workplace now, and hereās a new one: someone finally getting a close enough look at the jar of homemade nut butter Iād been using to make snacks for days (in a reused jar, still with the pesto label on it), realising the contents were not as advertised, and saying with poorly concealed relief āai!!! you werenāt spreading pesto on bananas!ā like sheād been quietly dying inside the whole time but had grimly committed herself to never ever presuming to ask wtf was going on
#I mentioned to a coworker how my friend had mailed me some goldfish and I was so excited to eat them#and she labored under the misapprehension for days that I was consuming actual real fish mailed all the way from America#before one day I brought some for lunch and she was like ohhh these are crackers!!
congrats, this is so cursed and the best addition someone has made to this post
