The video discusses the awkwardness and embarrassment of sending the wrong message to someone, particularly in a professional context.
[50:02-51:41]
The main character shares a personal anecdote about the potential embarrassment of sending a message to a manager of the opposite sex.
I'm going to be nosy, but I don't need to know. I don't need to know. That could be bad. I think it would even be worse. My previous job, I had a female manager, and she was amazing. She ended up becoming one of my very good friends. So if that was me I'd been like, you know what, I don't uptip. Like, you know what, I'm so sorry I sent that to you. Can we please just forget it ever happened? But I feel like it's even worse if you're sending it to your manager and they're of the opposite sex. I would be mortified. Yeah. Yeah. Again, I think it's a communication thing, you know, I, and the, the, the hard problem, the problem that I see is how much time has now gone by when it comes to sending that message to that, you know, how much time has been spent before you address it? Cause the longer that you don't address it, the, I think the more embarrassing it is going to be for you. Now they may forget. And honestly, that, I don't think pretending it never happened is, Would be a bad thing. So I did see this. There was this meme or I can't remember. It was a video or something that I saw. I consume a lot of content. And in my content-consuming days, just because I'm always looking for new ideas for podcasts and things like that. But I came across this thing, and it was essentially the same type of scenario. But it was this girl texting her boss trying to get the day off. And, and then, but the text message went and said, I'm pregnant was the first thing it said. And then it went before there was a long time period of time that there was nothing said. then it says, do, and then to, then the came, she came back and said, do you think I can take the time off so I can have a, have, have this hard conversation?
[51:42-52:27]
The discussion continues with a humorous example of a texting miscommunication between a girl and her boss.
So then you see her boss reply, yes, but can you please call my wife and clarify some things? Oh, my God, I think I've seen that. Yeah, I mean, I'm probably butchering the way it was done, but oh, my gosh, can you even imagine? That's essentially kind of what this is about. She's got a super embarrassing text message that was meant for her best friend. I mean, there's some things I send Justin that I don't send to anybody else because it's just him and I. Oh, I'd be mortified if If anybody outside my best friend saw my text message thread with them, no, I would be mortified. It would make sense on some of the stuff, all the inside jokes that people have. But even then, wow.
