Today, I was in the cafeteria when I noticed a new worker cleaning a table. As I passed her, she looked up and smiled at me. Thinking she was pulling a funny face, I jokingly crossed my eyes and smiled back. She looked hurt and continued working. Later, she served me my lunch. She was actually cross-eyed. FML

No no no no no! apologizing wouldn't work! what will you say? "I thought you made a silly face but it's was your actual face?" now you told her that her face looks silly. She's still a girl and girly presents still work on her. just don't get her anything with googly eyes on it. that would just be the final nail in the coffin. Or the soup.

I hope you at least apologized. She's obviously aware of her condition or she wouldn't have recognized it when you made the face at her. Just admit that you've allowed your expectations for how people tend to look to color your reception of anything unexpected, and that the way you responded was a mistake that you wish you could take back. Honesty's better than avoidance and ass-kissing any day, and if you're sincere about it at least she'll know that you're doing it because you know how shitty it made her feel and not just because you're trying to alleviate your own guilty feelings about the situation.

You're such a jerk. Way to ruin her job environment for her.

It was an honest misunderstanding and OP didn't intend to offend her; stop being so judgemental.

You guys are too judgemental! Do ANY OF YOU understand what ACCIDENTS are!?!? It was an honest mistake! What if you were in the OP's position? Which would you be thinking at that moment? "She's making fun of me!?!?" or "Gee, I shouldn't be mean, she might have a disorder that makes her eyes crossed! Because that's what everyone has if they cross their eyes!"

that is ******* funny! i laughed so hard when i read this!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH THAT ******* BLOWS MANE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA
