Just Joking?
Believe it or not, this person’s rude joke actually ended up becoming a wake-up call. Their old manager was out of shape and overweight. For whatever reason, our storyteller thought it was a good idea to make fun of his manager’s size to his face. No one should ever make a joke about someone else’s body, but this joke ended up having an unexpectedly positive effect.
The manager revealed a few years later that our storyteller’s rude joke prompted him to kick his butt into gear. He felt so beaten down by the joke he decided it was time to change things. He started a workout program and eventually became a beachbody coach. Woah! This lifestyle change probably didn’t stem from a single joke made by an employee. However, it might have been the thing that pushed this guy over the edge to make a change in his life.
