Bizarre leaps of logicAmorous Badger says: "I once humorously suggested that someone had been internet-stalking a Big Brother contestant. They concluded that I was threatening them. What's the oddest misunderstanding you've been involved in?"

Leaving EarlyI've been known to be employed and this tale takes place in one such place of employment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I called up in the morning to say I had been throwing up early in the morning but, as I was feeling better I would only be about 30 minutes late.
When I walk through the door co-worker #1 tells me co-worker #2 (who isn't scheduled to work that day) would be coming in at 4pm to process some stock and I could leave early if I wanted to. I said I'll considering it but, that I really was feeling better.
Through out the day I spotted co-worker #2 had been coming in and disappearing on their day off anyway. Weird, I thought but, whatever do what you want with your day off.
4pm arrives and co-worker #2 comes in and starts processing this stock and I'm asked again if I want to leave and again I politely decline, go back to work. 50 minutes later co-worker #2 storms up to me shouting that the only reason they were here was so that "you could go early and that I didn't like wasting a day off like this!" (despite repeatedly coming in anyways) and generally acting as though I had turned down a gift from God/Jupiter/Osiris/Eddie Murphy.
Dumb-founded I stared at them blankly and said plainly "Go home then?"
Apparently this plan was devised between Co-workers #1 and #2 with the slight error of not telling me about it and expecting me to be psychic.
Sorry if this story is a bit crap.

It is.Bless your heart.
They were clearly trying to arrange either a) a workplace fuck or b) just a day at work without you.
