The Poking Manager
This person had just gotten out of the military and was still pretty sensitive to surprises like being touched unexpectedly. This presented a problem given that their boss at the telemarketing company they worked in had a thing for poking people.
But the manager was gasping for air when this ex-military soldier’s training kicked in and tried to choke the life out of him. Ironically, no one got fired, but the manager learned never to poke anyone ever again.
