sensetive much?

so im at work, getting ready to close up shop and one of the other supervisors says to me the dreaded “pope we need to talk”. “Uhh ok other supervisor, whats up?” “this is going to sound stupid, but apparently you said something the other day that made someone uncomfortable.” “(massively begin to worry as ive been fired from a pretty good job before over false sexual harassment charges before) what happened?” ““well person a’s father came in earlier today and told me that apparently the other night you were talking to them and person b(16m). person b kept referring to person a as persona instead so person A(18f) asked “so, like what, is your mother named persona or something” to which you replied “and is she cute?” and person b just said no shes not and laughed” do you remember this?” huh? yeah that was last week" “person A said that made her very uncomfortable, an apparently you also asked person a about her older sister(25) after talking to them at a table one night which also creeped her out. now ive talked to bigbosslady and asked her what to do about this situation and she said nothing, he didnt do anything wrong”. but i have to bring this to your attention and her father wanted to talk to you as well."

SERIOUSLY? So asking about the marital status of someone my age makes me some kind of fucking creep? Is that really where we’re at right now? Yes, we all need to get our fathers to try to intimidate someone for NOT being pedo. IIII make you uncomfortable? sheeeeit… the times the mexican in the kitchen actively hits on her and she doesnt give a shit, but I need to be reported. The times you say weird shit like "i used to listen to pop last year, but god told me i needed to stop, but i looove one direction so much!"but im the creepy weird one. Bitch you’re odd even for the jesus freaks at the jesuschicken restaurant we work at, who all listen to the radio.

I see your point.

Probably best not to mention to them that you’re the supreme authority on hentai.

Is there a version of the OP that comes with a decoder ring?

If you get one in the next cereal box, will you translate?

tldr; ask a question about someones mom, offend someone not related to said mother.
or titled how i offended an 18yer old girl by asking about the mother of a 16 year old guy"

and no one at works knows im not jesus people… i guess anyone with a work ethic is automatically just assumed to be.

Translation: I use sexual innuendo in the workplace and someone complained, which is a problem because I got fired from another job for doing that even though I didn’t.

Wow, two false charges in two different jobs. Imagine the odds on that.

So I’m at work, getting ready to close up shop and one of the other supervisors says to me the dreaded “Pope, we need to talk”.

“Uhh, okay, other supervisor. What’s up?”

“This is going to sound stupid, but apparently you said something the other day that made someone uncomfortable.”

[I massively begin to worry as I’ve been fired from a pretty good job before over false sexual harassment charges before] “What happened?”

"Well, Person A’s father came in earlier today and told me that apparently the other night you were talking to them and Person B (a 16 year-old male). Person B kept referring to Person A as …

No matter where you go, there you are.

Never thought I’d say it, but I miss Pope Benedict.

when everyone else on the team says they were false, and all painted the same story of a vengeful manager who wanted my job? yeah false.

And as for thisone, what innuendo? i asked if someone was single. hardly hiding anything there.

When it comes to plowing your coworkers and their mothers, you can never be too careful.

Ah - so “persona” means “Person A”. I thought it was a Bergman reference.

I’m sure no one who comes across as bright and articulate as you do would ever be misunderstood.

Me too. At least he didn’t squid me out.

“But I have lots of black friends!”

OP, because you said “One of the other supervisors,” I suspect that you are a supervisor, and that you were speaking with subordinates (or at least employees who are not themselves supervisors).

If I’m correct, then my takeaway is this: You IDIOT, you DO NOT speak to non-peers in the workplace (regardless of who may or may not be on the clock) about their social life, or YOUR social life, or anybody’s aspirations toward a social life. Period. I’ll also point out that BigBossLady is not a lawyer; she’s a manager at a Chik-fil-A. If Person A’s father or persona’s father or whothefuckever brought the incident to your actual peer’s attention is not satisfied that you did nothing wrong, then BigBossLady might be getting a memo from someone who actually IS a lawyer; such might cause her to change her opinion.

Now, here’s what you want to do: Call the person who felt uncomfortable, and maybe also her father into a meeting with the other supervisor, and possibly BogBossLady, and apologize for your behavior. The apology should include an acknowledgement of what you did that was inappropriate, and why it was inappropriate (if you need help figuring out those things, read the above paragraph over and over until you do), a statement that you regret having caused this person any distress, a promise that you will not do so again, and a REQUEST that this matter be put behind everyone in the room.

Then buy everyone in the meeting a chicken sandwich and a peach milkshake (because those are SOOOOO good).

I’m not sure you understand what marital status means.

Well, when you put it that way…
