Office games are supposed to be fun, lighthearted ways to boost morale. But for Reddit user Captain_C32, one ugly sweater contest turned into a professional nightmare. Thinking they were being funny, they cracked a joke about someone’s sweater—only to realize the “someone” was their boss.
There was no laughing from the other side. Just an awkward pause and a quick exit. The worst part? It wasn’t even that funny of a joke. Ever since then, they’ve been careful about mixing humor and hierarchy. The lesson? Know your audience—especially when they sign your paycheck.
