So, this happened yesterday, and I’m still dying inside. I work for a pretty chill company, but my boss, Mark, is… how do I put this… very proper. Think tucked-in shirts even on Casual Friday.

Yesterday, during a particularly boring Zoom meeting, my best friend texted me. We were joking about something unrelated, and she sent me a meme. You know, one of those spicy, borderline NSFW memes that would make a nun blush. I laughed way harder than I should’ve, but the meeting was still going, so I decided to be sneaky and text her back while pretending to take notes.

Except I didn’t send it to her.

I sent it to Mark.

It took me exactly three seconds to realize my mistake, which was three seconds too late. The meme? It was a picture of a banana and a cucumber with the caption: “One of these is more useful, but the other gets more attention.”

Mark replied IMMEDIATELY.

“Uh, I think you sent this to the wrong person.”

I panicked. My brain short-circuited, and for some reason, I thought explaining it would help. I typed: “OMG, that was for my friend! We were talking about grocery shopping. Haha sorry!”

GROCERY. SHOPPING.

Now Mark thinks I’m not only wildly inappropriate but also incapable of lying convincingly.

The worst part? Today in our team meeting, he started with, “Let’s get this meeting a-peeling,” while making eye contact with me. I’ve never wanted the ground to swallow me whole so badly in my life.

TL;DR: Sent a spicy meme to my boss instead of my best friend, now I might be the unofficial office banana expert.
