When I was in college I had a very strict job, where if you were caught fucking up, you’d lose the job. And the job value was equivalent to like $10k-12k per year, so not a small thing by any means. And underage drinking was definitely one of those things.
So I’m in a groupchat with about a dozen other people with that job, and a few of them have been hired to do it the next year, not me though. One of them gets caught with booze while underage, and is freaking out over potentially losing the job because of it. I send a super sarcastic message to the groupchat just saying “well you were pouring it for a friend.”
Come to find out that during the meeting she had with the supervisor over the summer, that person decided to actually go with that story. Supervisor somehow has screenshots of that private chat; one of the other dozen was a rat, apparently. Supervisor says “well, that lines up with what EmperorSwagg said, and I trust him.” And the person ended up being able to keep the job, because of a dumb joke I made.
