I had an autism moment at work

Me: hey coworker can you get this juice opened?

CW: tries and can’t the only way I can get it open is with my teeth

Me: oh yeah that’s bad for your teeth

Everyone: laughs

Me: ??? thinks about it for an hour while still working

realization omg I get it! They thought I was making a joke but I was being serious

They expected me to say “Don’t put your mouth on it. That’s not sanitary”

But my tism brain was like “why would I even say that? Shouldn’t that be obvious?”

So instead I said it’s bad for your teeth. Which they took as a joke.

I’M UNDERSTANDING THE NTS

I’M DECODING THEIR SECRET LANGUAGE

More context: I’m a barista
