Workplace hell

By insensitive prick - 19/08/2013 19:04 - United States - Tinley Park

Today, I was at a "Bring your family to work" event. I noticed my coworker brought his kids but not his wife, so I asked, "No wife today?" Everyone glared at me and he pointedly replied that she's married to someone else now. I had no idea. Now everyone thinks I'm an insensitive prick. FML

Things never to say to your co-workers: 1) How's your wife/husband? 2) Are you pregnant? 3) The light bulb in your bedroom closet is out. Um, actually forget about #3.

If its happening too often for you then you might want to visit your family doctor.

When I was reading that I thought you were going to say she had died... Either way I feel like it wasn't a very good idea to ask like that

I hope you didn't have to sing at their wedding!

Don't sweat it Op. you didn't know. Just calmly explain that you had no idea.

I'd rather be an insensitive prick than an overly sensitive prick.

Shit happens. It was just a question, how were you supposed to know?

I think that they're the insensitive pricks for not understanding.

Or they are sensitive pricks for getting upset about it when OP didn't know

The phrase "what you don't know won't kill you" has been tried and tested on this site and found to be a lie...

At least she hadn't died recently, right?

It'a an honest gaffe. He should just be happy he gets to bring his kids to work and that his wife doesn't have full custody.
