We had a company dinner, and my boss brought her husband, who honestly looked really stylish, clean suit, great hair, just overall put-together. I’d had two glasses of wine and said, “Wow, your husband’s hot, uh, I mean handsome! I mean, like, good fashion sense!”
Everyone at the table laughed, and my boss jokingly said, “Hands off, he’s taken.” I wanted to disappear.
Later, when people started leaving, her husband said, “Thanks for the ego boost,” and winked. My coworkers won’t stop teasing me. I now have a new Slack nickname: “HR’s Favorite.” This is so embarrassing like I don’t want to go to work anymore and just quit the job and just stay at home
TL;DR: Tried to compliment my boss’s husband’s outfit, accidentally called him hot in front of everyone.
