when my mother talked about being "paid under
the table", i thought she actually had to get under
a table (with her boss) to get her money. i also
believed that "getting fired" meant your boss would
come after you with actual fire. which, i suppose,
could really happen.
A childhood belief about work
others believed things like this
- I used to think that if you met your parents' boss, your parents would be fired!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!— Spoot
- I used to think that being fired meant they set you on fire.
Or they just chopped off your head.Anon - I used to believe that, if God would die, Santa Claus would be boss.— Judith
- The first time i heard of someone getting fired from a job, i thought that they were actually set on fire.Anon
- I used to believe that you had to "buy" your job. The more money you paid, the better the job. — Duke
- I thought "deployed" meant "fired".Anon
