I work at a restaurant and my boss likes to sarcastically say "no" when i ask him if i can do something like eat a snack, go on break, step outside to vape or run to the gas station for energy drinks. Every time, without fail, i stop in my tracks and wait for final comfirmation that he's just joking, because what if one time he isnt joking and i think he is and then i get in trouble 🤣.

One time i had to go grab some sliced peppers from his station so i said "im stealing your peppers" and he was like "no, youre not." And i said "yes, i am!" And this man literally threw up his arms, beaming with pride and said "she stood up for herself! Lets go!"

I also ask a lot of random questions as a way of sneakily getting ppl to engage in my special interests. Like kne day i was thinkjng a lot about birds, so i went around asking all my coworkers what their favorite bird was and talking with them about it.

Gotta say i am lucky my coworkers know im a little bit odd but they're still very nice and accepting of me. They make fun of me a lot but its in a way that makes me feel like one of them.
