Story: when I worked retail looooong ago, we had a big meeting in the middle of the store where we all stood in a circle and they asked us all what our name and favorite movies are.
One girl was like “hi I’m Samantha Newhire and my favorite movie is What Dreams May Come.”
The manager exclaimed, “WET DREAMS MAY COME?!”
Samantha reiterated: “WHAT dreams.”
We all started cracking up.
I was astounded, as one of my first jobs, like… isn’t that an HR bad thing?
But everyone was laughing (probably because we were all teenagers) and the manager was probably very embarrassed.
I should add the manager was a lady and wasn’t up with recent movies. I’m pretty sure she was really embarrassed after saying that, but I dunno.
